Accidents Are a Fact of Daily Life

Nothing is more important than protecting your child. But you can't always be there and accidents happen everyday. Unfortunately, children fall out of their cribs or down stairs - sometimes resulting in traumatic brain injury. That is why CBR is leading the way in advancing regenerative medicine, the use of one's own stem cells to repair or replace damaged or diseased tissue, by bringing leading-edge treatment options to CBR clients.

• More than 1 million children sustain brain injuries every year
• One of the highest risk groups is children ages 0-4 years-old

Previously, there’s been no therapy that can repair damage to brain tissue. That’s why the CBR Center for Regenerative Medicine has made this area of medicine a priority focus. Research is showing that stem cells from a baby's own cord blood may play an important role in inducing healing with nerve and brain cells. In fact, leading pediatric specialists in neurology suggest that a child who has access to his or her own cord blood stem cells may improve by receiving an infusion of those cells after the injury occurs.

We would like to hear from you, if you have a child who has cord blood stored with us and has been diagnosed with one of the following conditions:

• Any type of brain injury from a fall or accident
• Cerebral Palsy
• Stroke
• Brain injury resulting from lack of oxygen prior to or during birth (anoxia)

In addition, compelling research is exploring the use of a child’s own cord blood for other conditions like type 1 diabetes.
