The Sewing Mom

As many of you all ready know, I am a friend of several people who have had to battle breast cancer and, therefore, I’m also a supporter of breast cancer research. There are of course, many ways to support breast cancer research and I have chosen to make monetary donations to a few select organizations and support individuals who do things like 3-day walks.

Cryo-Cell has recently partnered with the National Institutes of Health to perform research the potential treatment of breast cancer using stem cells collected from menstrual blood. This is exploratory research to determine if stem cells collected from menstrual blood can be used in the potential treatment of breast cancer. The research will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to track stem cells. The ability to use MRI to monitor the journey of menstrual blood stem cells in the body holds great promise in the utilization of menstrual stem cells in the future of treating diseases.

Cryo-Cell, America’s most established cord blood bank,  is committed to excellent customer service with highly trained customer service consultants available 24/7.   There are certainly many reasons to consider storing cord blood, and now, with Cyro-Cell’s partnership with the NIH, their research using stem cells easily collected during the menstrual cycle, could be a huge step forward for breast cancer research.
