Cord Blood Treatments in Israel and Abroad
Umbilical Cord Blood - A Biological Breakthrough for Treatments in Cancer, Autism, and Cerebral Palsy
Cord blood transplants as a life-saving treatment and a treatment that improves the quality of life are already working in the field in Israel and around the world. While in Israel, in a small number of cases, it is a medical protocol that has come out of its research framework and stands on its own as part of the treatment options, around the world, the use of cord blood has been adopted in many places as an acceptable treatment.
Let's start from the end: Cord blood is a biological insurance policy that can be utilized in Israel and worldwide. While in some of the indicators, the treatment given through the use of cord blood is in the scope of research, it means that to the extent there is a treatment being performed in other clinics abroad, there is always the possibility to take a cord blood unit preserved at the National Cord Blood Center and fly it for the specific treatment conducted beyond the borders of Israel.
Additional Diseases in the Research Phase
Expanding the research into the possibilities for treatment and healing using umbilical cord blood
In recent years, there has been significant progress in studying the effects of cord blood among researchers around the world. In various parts of the world, studies are underway to examine the effect of cord blood transplantation in treating medical indications such as epilepsy, autism, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, orthopedic illnesses, and more…
The results of the studies encourage medical teams worldwide to try an ever-increasing batch of treatments based on a field known as regenerative medicine. Regenerative medicine aims to produce functional tissues to repair or replace tissues or organs with poor or missing function due to damage or birth defects. In this case, a medical field based on treatment through the use of biological cells (stem cells) derived from cord blood.
