Diseases that are treatable using stem cells|MyCord

Since hematopoietic stem-cells (HSCs) can transform into any type of blood cell, they are currently being used in the treatment of various blood cancers and disorders. These include:

Leukemias
Lymphomas/solid tumors
Myelodysplasias
Bone marrow failure syndrome
Hemoglobinopathies
Immune deficiencies
Metabolic storage disorders
Histiocytosis
Neutrophil disorders

EMERGING THERAPIES WITH CORD TISSUE STEM CELLS

Alzheimer’s Disease
Bone Fractures
Brain Injury
Burns
Cardiac Regeneration
Cerebral Palsy
Cystic Fibrosis
Diabetes
Heart Disease
Hearing Loss
Liver Failure
Multiple Sclerosis
Osteoarthritis
Parkinson’s Disease
Spinal Cord Injury
Stroke
Others

As per Latest draft of “ National Guideline for stem cell Research “ published by the Apex regulatory body of cellular therapy in India ICMR guidelines 2013 and also ICMR draft guideline 2017 it is clearly mentioned

14.1. Banking of Umbilical Cord Blood

UCB is a rich source of CD34+ hematopoietic and mesenchymal (stromal) stemcells. Use of UCB derived HSCs for treatment of various haematological and immunological disorders is currently well established, particularly where an HLAmatched sibling is not available. However, there is a paucity of public funded UCBbanks in India. On the other hand several private UCB banks have come-up, thatengage themselves in promotional advertisements offering storage of cord bloodwith the promise of future therapeutic use. Such advertisements are oftenmisleading for the public and lack comprehensive and accurate information to theconsumer. So far there is no scientific basis for preservation of cord blood forfuture self-use and this practice therefore raises ethical and social concerns.
