Stem cells derived from cord blood, isolated by ABCell-Bio, are used in scientific research.
They are widely studied in areas as varied as immunotherapy, cancerology, parasitology and cardio-vascular diseases.
The use of cord blood stem cells is regulated by Bioethics laws.
Women are asked to donate this blood product when they give birth.
Organizing the collection for research purposes is simpler than for therapeutic use:
An agreement is signed
between the hospital and Abcell-bio
Training
and support for the nursing staff by Abcell-bio
The equipment for extractions
is provided.
Transport is organized by Abcell-bio
“Donations of cord blood are indispensable in the care of patients around the world waiting for an organ transplant. Setting up safe and efficient techniques necessitates research in a number of indispensable steps. Donating for research is easy, altruistic and our duty.”
“The patients feel they are being useful and participating by donating their cord blood for their child’s future medical environment. This extraction is well accepted and is very often agreed to by the patients when we present it to them.”
