Babycell is the umbilical cord blood stem cell banking service provided by RMS. Babycell services are available all across India through its vast spread bio-network of hospitals, medical doctors and collection centres. Babycell service briefly includes harvesting of the cord blood from the umbilical cord of the placenta at birth, isolation of the Haemotopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs), and cryopreservation for 21 years in RMS Stem Cell Bank for future transplantation of these stem cells into patient.

4. Milestones

5. Stem Cell Banking

6. The magic of regeneration has always been seen in nature.
We humans are discovering its powers NOW!
Regeneration can be seen perfectly in sea cucumbers. Their bodies can grow up
to three feet long and if cut into pieces, each piece can REGROW into a new sea
cucumber.
The White-tailed deer can REGROW their antlers and this is the
most extreme example of regeneration!

7. Lizards have the ability to REGROW their tail within nine months.
The starfish have the ability to REGROW their arms and sometimes their
whole bodies. Even if the critter is down to one arm, as long as it has its
central nerve ring intact, it can grow into an entirely new starfish.
The human body has so much to offer, we are exploring its capacity to the best!

8. What are these magical cells?
“Basic unit of life”
Stem cells are the body's raw
material — from which all other
cells with specialized functions are
generated.
How amazing is it that life begins with a single cell!

9. Where do we find them?
• Umbilical Cord Blood
• Umbilical Cord Tissue
• Bone Marrow
• Peripheral Blood
• Other sources under research
• Dental Pulp
• Adipose Tissue (Fat)
• Embryo

10. Disease statistics
1. Worldwide, the annual number of new cases of childhood cancer exceeds
200,000 and more than 80% of these are from the developing world.
2. Every year around 32,000 children with Thalassemia are born in India
3. Approximately 8,000 cases (4,400 males and 3,820 females) of Hodgkin's
Lymphoma are detected per year . In India, 21% of all Hodgkins disease was seen
in children with a marked male female ratio of 5.5:1
4. Each year approximately 300,000 children are born with sickle cell anaemia or
one of its variants and nearly 80 per cent of these births occur in poor socio-
economic countries

12. Umbilical Cord Stem Cells and upcoming uses
• Acquired Hearing Loss : 63 million people in India suffer of acquired hearing loss
• Cerebral Palsy : In India, it is estimated at around 3 cases per 1000 live births.
• Congenital Heart Disease : Every year 78,000 infants born with congenital heart disease in India die
• Juvenile Diabetes : India is home to an estimated 97,700 children with Type 1Diabetes Mellitus
• Pediatric Stroke : Prevalence of stroke in India range from 44 to 843 per 100,000 population.
• Traumatic Brain Injury : 1.5 – 2million persons are injured and 1million die every year in India.
• Autism : India is home to about 10million people with autism.
In a landmark decision, approval given by U.S. FDA for the following diseases.
Approvals expected for commercial use as early as 2017

13. Cord blood stem cells and future use
Acquired hearing loss
Autism
Paediatric stroke Traumatic brain injury

14. Umbilical Cord Blood Umbilical Cord Tissue
• Tissue of the umbilical cord (not the blood inside it)
• Contains Mesenchymal Stem Cells. These have the ability
to regenerate tissue, nerve cells and damaged organs.
• Repairs bone, cartilage and connective tissue. Future
treatment may include spinal cord injuries and strokes
• First clinical trial - 1995
• Is now being researched and explored with over 200
clinical trials under way (globally)
• Blood that flows in the umbilical cord and placenta
• Contains Hematopoietic Stem Cells. These have the
ability to regenerate all types of blood cells.
• Treats blood related diseases and cancers such as
leukemia, anemia, thalassemia and autoimmune
disorders.
• First case - 1988
• Is now being used to treat over 80 blood related diseases
with 30,000 successful transplants (globally)

15. Why should we preserve
Umbilical Cord Stem Cells when
other sources are available?

16. • Cell Concentration is almost 10%-20% higher
than other sources.
• Faster differentiation and multiplication
potential since they are immature cells unlike
adult stem cells from other sources.
• Less prone to rejection as they have less
developed features.
• Preserved only for your family’s use and no
queuing to find a matching donor.
• Requires only a 4/6 match
Case study: Stanford professor dies after long search for bone marrow donor

28. Cord Blood Processing
Babycell uses ‘’Double
sedimentation spin (DSS)
technology’’

29. Cord Tissue Processing
Cord Collection Kit
Umbilical Cord is processed and
segmented into small pieces.
Cells obtained from
enzymatic digestion of
Umbilical Cord Tissue are
transferred into several
cryovials
The cells are frozen in the
controlled-rate freezer, where
the temperature is lowered
gradually to optimize
preservation of stem cells.
After the controlled-rate freezing
process, the cryovials are
transferred for long term
cryopreservation at -196°C.
Isolation of UCT to give Whole Cell
Population (WCP) including MSCs,
Epithelial cells and fibroblasts

30. Exclusive Tests • Total nucleated cell count
• Total mononuclear cell count
• Total CD 34+ stem cell count

34. ‘’Babycell Processing Technology
is superior to any other banks &
the value added services like
CFU, HLA Typing, and
personalized ANC/PNC sessions
are second to none. Thanks
Babycell!!’’
Speaking about CFU and

Speaking about their
visit to Babycell CPCTM Speaking about Logistics
Speaking about New
born screening
Mr. and Mrs. Bhanushali (Mumbai) Mr. and Mrs. Mulchandani (Mumbai)
One of the most important factors
to choose Babycell was that their
storage facility is close to our city
and they had the confidence to
invite us to visit the lab to see their
operations if we wished. We
availed of their services for both
our children and have been
extremely satisfied till date!
Mr. and Mrs. Saini (Kota)
“The experience that we had with
Babycell, at every phase was
superior, like the presentation,
coordination done at the time of
collection and post sales services.
They have worked extremely hard
to help us to know the minutest
details of the concept.”
Mr. and Mrs. Anand
“One of the best things about
Babycell is their post sales
services like the ‘New born
screening test’ that they had
provided for our new born
babies, Aamya and Avin. The
online post-natal sessions for
mothers were helpful too. We
can completely rely on Babycell
for any advice in the future!!
Thank you Babycell.”
Client testimonials

35. “In our case the delivery
happened 5 weeks prior to the
predicted date! Babycell
exceeded our expectations, with
the staff (Rajeshwari) immediately
arriving at the hospital and
staying all night waiting for the
delivery. She left only after she
had completed the collection of
the cord. We are extremely happy
and grateful to Babycell.”
Speaking about on time
collection
Speaking about easy
plans
Speaking about entire
process
“During the birth of my first child, I
wasn’t very sure about the benefits of
stem cell banking, but during my
second child’s birth, I had enough
wisdom and the awareness of the
benefits of the banking. When I
bought this from Babycell, in my view
at that point in time, the offer from
Babycell was best in comparison to
the other companies.
Babycell is reputed and
professional and most important
part for middle class people like
us. It was affordable and the
instalment scheme helped us
preserve the baby’s stem cells as
per our needs.
Staying away from India and
delivering baby was not an easy
decision, whereas collecting
stem cell and storing back in
India was only in our dreams.
With the Babycell overall service
from the case owner, supervisor,
logistics shipment, delivery,
storing and testing cell the
entire process were Just in time
(JIT) process 100%.
