3. A brief overview of stem cell usage
in medicine over the years
Over the years, stem cells are
becoming increasingly popular.
4. In 2010, there were 57900 hematopoietic stem cell
transplants done. This shows that there has
been a 35% increase in the past five years
5. In 2014 alone, almost 78000 hematopoietic
stem cell transplants were performed
world wide
6. Transplants using stem cells found in the
umbilical cord accounted for more than
30000 transplants
7. In 2009, the number was only 11000. This
shows a massive increase in the number
of transplants performed using stem cells
present in the umbilical cord.

9. The various cell therapies world wide
Hematopoietic stem cells are recovered
from bone marrow, umbilical cord blood or
peripheral blood
10. The various cell therapies first used:
Bone Marrow Transplant – 1956
Peripheral Blood Transplant – 1986
Bone Marrow Transplant – 1988
11. Umbilical cord blood is the second most
common source of stem cells for cell
therapy
12.
13. Ways to handle cord blood
There are mainly 3 different ways you can
handle your baby’s umbilical cord blood:
Publicly donate
Privately bank
Discard as medical waste
14. In a recent study in the US, 77% of
600+ parents had not heard about
stem cell banking
16. Lack of awareness is causing the umbilical
cord to go as medical waste
17. Most people don’t realize that cord
blood treatment is fast, non-
invasive and completely pain-free
18.
19. A few diseases curable with stem
cell therapy
More than 80 diseases can be currently
treated with stem cells.
20. The diseases include sickle cell disease,
leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, other
forms of cancer, auto immune diseases
and anemia
21.
22. Stem cells being used to treat
Autism
Autism is a complex development disorder
affecting behavior, language and social
skills
23. A institute performed a trial to see if autism
can be treated using stem cell therapy
24. There are a number of known causes but
there is no cure for autism.
25. In the US, 1 in 88 children are diagnosed
with Autism and boys are affected 5 times
more than girls.
