Real families whose lives were changed by cord blood stem cells. Real physicians who trust StemCyte. Real outcomes.

Their own cord blood

Private banking saved their family

These families banked their baby's cord blood with StemCyte. Then they needed it.

Bailey
Used her own stem cells

Bailey

Perinatal Stroke · Diagnosed at 3 days old

Bailey was just 3 days old when she suffered a perinatal stroke. Fortunately, her mother Rebecca had banked her cord blood stem cells at birth with StemCyte. Bailey was able to use her own cord blood stem cells as part of her treatment.

Today, Bailey is 13 years old and living a healthy, normal life.
Ryden
Used his brother's stem cells

Ryden

Cerebral Palsy · Diagnosed at birth

Heather was in labor when her uterus ruptured, depriving her fourth child Ryden of oxygen. The MRI showed catastrophic brain damage and a diagnosis of extremely severe cerebral palsy.

The family banked their fifth child's cord blood with StemCyte and used it for Ryden six months later in a clinical trial for cerebral palsy.

Ryden received his sibling's cord blood in a clinical trial.

Donor stem cells

A donor match changed everything

When a child's own cord blood isn't enough, StemCyte's public bank can find a matching donor unit.

Itzel
Used donated stem cells

Itzel

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia · Diagnosed at age 6

Itzel Cervantes was 6 years old when she underwent a cord blood transplant for ALL. The leukemia kept relapsing after chemotherapy, and the only way to stop it was a stem cell transplant using donated cord blood.

Itzel remains in full remission from leukemia, 9 years after transplant.
