What are stem cells? An introduction to different types of stem cells.
Stem cell details
1. • Congratulations for the bundle of
joy that is going to enter your life in
a matter of months.

2. The Umbilical Cord
Umbilical cord is a long “rope” like structure
that connects baby with mother.
It consists of connective tissue, inside which
there is an umbilical vein and two arteries.
This is a structure that carries out the
function of exchanging between a mother
and a child.
Once thought to be a biological waste, has now been
proven to have the potential to save millions of lives
from different life threatening diseases
www.CryobanksIndia.com
3. Why store Umbilical cord?
Part of Peri-natal tissue.
Most naive cells with high
regenerative potential.
Highest source of Hematopoietic
stem cells (HSC) & Hematopoietic
progenitor stem cells (HPCs).
The most convenient source of stem
cell retrieval.
No ethical concerns as cord is
discarded after delivery.
www.CryobanksIndia.com
4. Umbilical Cord – The Ultimate Source Of
Master Cells
Umbilical Cord- Premiere source for stem cells by researchers and medical
fraternity :
Contains blood -Rich source for haemopoetic progenitor cells found in abundance.
The Wharton's jelly present in the inner lining of the cord is a rich source
for multipotent MSC’s found in abundance.
Painless extraction process .
Quality of stem cells extracted have higher potential compared to other adult
derived stem cells sources.

5. Stem Cells & Types
The term “stem cells“ was proposed by a histologist A. Maksimov in 1908.
Every stem cell has two main characteristics:
• Self-renewable, which means that it can go through many cell division
process and still remain in the same state.
• Potency, which means that it is capable of differentiating into various
specific cell types.
Totipotent | Pluripotent | Multipotent | Unipotent

6. Different Sources of Stem Cells
Embryonic Others (minimally manipulated)
Stem cells
Cord blood & Tissue Peripheral Blood
(HSC, HPC, MSC stem cells
VSELs, Others) (HSC, MSC)
Bone marrow stem Adipose tissue
cells for autologous derived stem cells
& allogeneic use in for varied clinical
varied clinical conditions
applications
For Research
purpose only Organs specific stem cells, Dental pulp, etc.

7. Wonder cells in Cord blood
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs)
Hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs)
Very small embryonic like stem cells (VSELs)
Endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs)
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)
Mixed resident cells
www.CryobanksIndia.com
11. Cord blood banking & Beyond..
WJ – MSCs (Wharton’s jelly derived MSCs) possess
an extensive proliferative potential and ability to
differentiate into various cell types.
Key characteristics of MSCs:
• Most primitive cell population with
high regenerative potential.
• Self-renewal capacity.
• Multi-potent – can differentiate into
various cell lineages.
• Immunosuppressant &
immunomodulatory effects.
• Minimal / Nil HLA representation

13. Steps in cord blood banking
1 2 3
Collected cord blood is safely
After birth the umbilical Cord blood is collected from packed in proprietary transfer
cord is clamped and cut umbilical cord vein by experts kits and within 24 hours reach
our labs
6 5 4
Cord blood is processed by The sample quality is evaluated and
The end product is stored at -196 deg. C patented technologies to yield all the required tests are conducted
for 21 years maximum number of stem cells for maximum safety
www.CryobanksIndia.com
14. Stem cell therapy in Heart disease
There is an enormous data suggesting the role
of stem cells in treatment of varied heart related ailments &
have shown excellent results in improving heart functions.
Heart diseases in final stage of clinical trials with SCT
• Acute Myocardial Infarction
• Chronic Myocardial Infarction
• Dilated Cardiomyopathy
• Congenital defects
Cord blood stem cells are useful in revascularization of heart tissue.
MSCs differentiate into Cardiomyocytes and replace the dead heart muscles.
Advance storage of stem cells ensures ready availability of stem cells during medical
urgencies.
www.CryobanksIndia.com
15. Stem cell therapy in Diabetes
Stem cells play significant role in modulating
the disease progress in diabetes patients.
Useful protocols of SCT in diabetic patients:
•Diabetes Mellitus type 1 & 2
• Diabetic neuropathy
• Diabetic retinopathy
• Diabetic foot
• Chronic non healing ulcers
The multi-potent stem cells harvested from Wharton’s jelly of umbilical cord show
Immuno-Modulatory effects and can largely reduce the required dosage of insulin
among Diabetic patients.
The cord blood stem cells (HSCs) are in particular used therapeutically for treating
varied stage diabetic Ulcers and chronic wounds.
www.CryobanksIndia.com
18. Cerebral Palsy
• Incidence of CP in India is 2-3 cases per 1000 live births
• Brain injury during delivery is among the common causes of CP
• Current estimate is >25 lakh children living with CP in the country.
SCT
