The birth of your baby grants your family a unique opportunity
to collect and store Umbilical Cord Blood & Peristem™ Tissue
Stem cells. These precious stem cells are the fundamental
building blocks of the organs and tissue of the body and have
great therapeutic potential. CReATe is dedicated to helping
you protect your family's lifelong health by offering you the
exclusive option of storing both types of stem cells.
What is Cord Blood?
What is Cord Blood?
Cord blood is the blood remaining in the placenta and umbilical cord,
typically discarded after a baby is delivered. This blood is an
extremely rich source of the body’s master cells - the building blocks
of our blood and immune system, the “stem cells”. In addition, recent
evidence has shown that these cord blood stem cells have the
potential to develop into all of the body's various cell types, such a
those in the brain, spinal cord, heart, kidney and liver. Therefore,
they could potentially replace critical cells in tissues all over the
body that have been destroyed or damaged by disease.
If your child, or possibly someone in your family develops a life-threatening illness or debilitating disease, a transplant from cord-blood-derived cells could save their life or greatly reduce the symptoms and effects of their illness.
Unlike the use of embryo-derived cells, cord blood collection and storage is not controversial or ethically charged in any way, because these cells are generally discarded, and do not compromise potential human life.
Cord blood-derived stem cells have been successfully used on thousands of patients to treat numerous conditions and diseases and there is exciting new research on many additional conditions that it could be used for in the near future.

What is Peristem?
Peristem™ program offers parents the option to bank
a new type of stem cell that is found in the tissues surrounding the
blood vessels of the baby’s umbilical cord. These cells are called
mesenchymal stem cells and are the building blocks of the structural
tissues (bone, cartilage, muscle, and fibrous tissues) of our body.
Peristem™ stem cells could be used in the treatment of conditions such as degenerative arthritis, heart disease, traumatic injuries, birth defects, burns, liver disease, MS, autoimmune diseases (such as Crohn’s disease or rheumatoid arthritis) and some cancers. Together with cord blood stem cells, they could enhance the treatment of leukemia, lymphoma and other diseases.
If you and your family are interested in the opportunity to collect and store Umbilical Cord Blood & Peristem™ Tissue Stem cells, please feel free to contact CReATe for additional information. You may register at any time during your pregnancy although it is advised to register early to receive your collection kit at least one month before your due date.
