It was recently learned from Taizhou Medical City that the second phase of the Jiangsu Provincial Stem Cell Bank project, jointly constructed by Jiangsu Beike Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and Taizhou Medical City, was officially put into use this month. It will also become an Asian-scale comprehensive Stem cell bank.
According to reports, the stem cell bank has a total reserve of up to 1 million people and a daily processing capacity of 500 stem cells. It will become a world-class comprehensive stem cell bank on an Asian scale and the first in Jiangsu Province to engage in umbilical cord and umbilical cord treatment. A comprehensive stem cell bank for the preparation and storage of various types of stem cells including blood. Currently, the stem cell bank cooperates with more than 150 hospitals in Jiangsu Province to provide umbilical cord stem cell storage technology services.
Stem cell technology is the core medical technology in regenerative medicine. If the umbilical cord stem cells are stored when the baby is born, they can be taken out when they become sick in the future. Through processes such as isolation, in vitro culture, and genetic modification, they can be New, normal or even younger cells, tissues or organs are grown in vitro and used to treat clinical diseases through transplantation.
Ye Shengqin, general manager of Jiangsu Beike Biotechnology Co., Ltd., said that this method can be applied to 96 diseases, including leukemia, nervous system damage, cardiovascular disease, injury disease, paraplegia, diabetes and its complications. technology. In addition to the child himself, the entire family can benefit from stored umbilical cord stem cells.
“Stem cells are collected completely in a sterile environment and stored in cryogenic storage containers at minus 196°C.” Ye Shengqin said that once needed, through cell recovery, expansion, and testing, they can be used clinically in one week. Treatment of disease. According to estimates, ordinary people will spend about 20,000 yuan in 22 years to store their own stem cells, which averages about 3 yuan per day.
