Cordlife has transplant experience across Asia
Cordlife has processed and stored more than 400,000 cord blood, cord lining, cord tissue, and placenta stem cell samples.
The Group has made 77 cord blood releases to 21 healthcare institutions in ten different countries, allowing their clients to use their cord blood for transplantation or cellular therapy. Cordlife has also assisted its clients in the release of 21 cord lining and cord tissue samples for medical use. All of the samples processed and stored by Cordlife were used successfully in cellular therapy, which is the ultimate validation of the Group’s processing and storage capabilities.
Over the years, the Group has also grown to offer diagnostics and other healthcare services. This has helped to strengthen their position as a leading company focused on protecting the health of mother and child.
The umbilical cord, once discarded as medical waste after childbirth, is a rich source of readily available stem cells for therapies. Cordlife Group is constantly collaborating with credible researchers and partners to help families live healthier, happier, and longer. Cordlife has published a study with one of their strategic partners, CellResearch Corporation (CRC), on the superior effects of using their patented culture media to extract and accelerate the growth of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) from cryopreserved umbilical cord tissue. The study also discussed the numerous advantages of umbilical cord-derived MSCs in the healing of chronic wounds. As the healthcare industry shifts towards a greater focus on early detection and preventive care, umbilical cord-derived MSCs will play an important role in not only treating diseases but also slowing their progression or even delaying their onset entirely. This collaboration validates Cordlife Group’s commitment to being a part of the future of medicine and healthcare to help people live better lives.
