Life Line Stem Cell is one of the first providers in Indiana to establish an active cord blood collection program for public cord blood banking.
Umbilical Cord Blood
Cord Blood contains numerous hematopoietic stem cells that help in the treatment of certain diseases including cancers, MS, and other diseases. Cord Blood can only be donated immediately following your baby’s birth.
Umbilical Cord
Not only can you donate the cord blood within the umbilical cord, you can also donate the cord itself. Stem cells from the umbilical cord are used to treat auto-immune diseases such as Parkinson’s and Crohn’s. They are also used in vaccines for epidemic viruses.
Placenta Tissue
Amniotic membrane is the innermost layer of the placenta. Amnion can be used to repair a damaged eye surface, diabetic wounds, serve as a temporary burn barrier, and breast reconstruction to name a few.
