CBR Center for Regenerative Medicine

The CBR Center for Regenerative Medicine is a scientific research collaborative established by Cord Blood Registry — in partnership with leading research institutions from around the world — to promote greater scientific understanding of cord blood stem cells and advance their use to treat life-threatening and life-limiting injuries and diseases.

Hearing Loss Reversed in Animal Study Using Cord Blood - According to a study published in Cell Transplantation, cord blood stem cells have the ability to help restore hearing. In the study, which used animal models, subjects treated with cord blood stem cells showed significant healing to the damaged portion of the sensory hair cells and neurons in the inner ear.

Autism

The CBR Center for Regenerative Medicine is interested in identifying individuals who have access to their own cord blood stem cells AND who have been diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). Based on the most recent statistics, there could be more than 3,200 children with ASD whose cord blood is stored with CBR. This is a substantial patient population that could interest researchers.
If you have a child diagnosed with a form of ASD and would like to be notified in the event that a researcher is considering a trial and interested in contacting you, we encourage you to register with CBR's Center for Regenerative Medicine by entering and submitting the information below. Please note: no personal information will be shared without written permission from you.
While we do not know of any clinical trial is in development today, we are committed to keeping you informed about any significant advancements in research or potential research opportunities.
If you have a child who has their own cord blood stored and are interested in learning more, please enter the requested information below.
Your first name:
Your last name:
Email address:
Condition or Diagnosis:
Date of cord blood collection
(for child with condition):		 (xx/xx/xxxx)
Approximate date of diagnosis: (xx/xx/xxxx)
Does the child with the injury have their own cord blood stored? Yes No
 






Banking cord blood does not guarantee that the cells will provide a cure or be applicable for every situation. For inherited genetic conditions, the child will not be able to use his or her own stem cells. A matched sibling's stem cells would be the first choice. Ultimate use will be determined by the treating physician. Treatment for brain injury and juvenile diabetes is experimental and currently requires the use of your own cord blood. Medical treatments using family banked cord tissue are in early research and are not available today; there is no guarantee that therapies will be developed in the future.
