Stem cells are undifferentiated cells capable of generating the different cell types that make up the adult individual. Due to their differentiation capacities, stem cells are of great interest in various medical fields. What also makes them very interesting is their greater histocompatibility, which means that this type of cell can often be used within the family. In fact, the probability of finding a compatible donor outside the family nucleus is 0.001% (1 in 100,000 individuals). Between siblings, on the other hand, there is a 25% (1 in 4) probability of compatibility.
This means that if you have stored your baby’s stem cells with us at SSCS, who have a FACT-NetCord accredited laboratory (the specific accreditation for the storage of umbilical cord blood and tissue and the only one that allows the sample to be used in any transplant centre in the world should it be needed), there is a strong probability that they will be compatible with siblings.
Chembe za msingi ni chembe zisizo na tofauti zinazoweza kutokeza aina tofauti za chembe zinazofanyiza mtu mzima. Kwa sababu ya uwezo wao wa kutofautisha, chembe za msingi zinavutia sana katika nyanja mbalimbali za kitiba. Kwa sababu ya uwezo wao wa kuunganisha histocompatibility, aina hii ya seli inaweza kutumika katika familia. Kwa kweli, uwezekano wa kupata mtoaji anayefaa nje ya familia ni 0.001% (1 katika watu 100,000). Kwa upande mwingine, kati ya ndugu na dada kuna uwezekano wa 25% (1 kwa 4) wa kupatana. "Hii inamaanisha kwamba ikiwa umehifadhi seli za msingi za mtoto wako na sisi katika SSCS, ambao tuna maabara ya FACT-NetCord (kikosi maalum cha kuhifadhi damu ya kamba ya umbilical na tishu na moja tu ambayo inaruhusu sampuli kutumika katika kituo chochote cha kupandikiza ulimwenguni ikiwa inahitajika), kuna uwezekano mkubwa kwamba watakuwa sawa na ndugu."""
