Umbilical cord blood stem cells are recognized as a valuable resource that can restore the function of damaged tissues.
To date, more than 50,000 umbilical cord blood transplants have been performed worldwide to treat malignant and non-malignant diseases, with an effectiveness rate of nearly 75%.

What do specialists say about umbilical cord blood stem cells?

Dr. Morteza Zarrabi

CEO of Royan Cord Blood Bank, PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology

Royan Cord Blood Bank is the only genetic reserve bank that has been able to store cord blood bank, bone marrow stem cell bank, peripheral blood stem cell bank, non-hematopoietic umbilical cord stem cell bank, dental pulp stem cell bank, HLA bank, and umbilical cord blood plasma together and provide them to transplant and research centers.

Dr. Saeid Abrun

Specialist in Clinical Hematology

Umbilical cord blood samples are stored at -197 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, molecular motion becomes zero, and the cells practically go into a dormant phase, allowing us to preserve them for as long as families desire.

Dr. Amir Ali Hamidiyeh

Secretary of the Stem Cell Science and Technology Development Headquarters - Hematologist, Oncologist, and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Specialist

Science and knowledge have advanced, and we must be able to use tissues and materials related to childbirth such as umbilical cord blood, placenta, fetal membranes, etc. 37 products can be produced from birth waste. Different medical fields are going to use umbilical cord blood stem cells, and we are happy that the placental product refinery has been launched.

Dr. Hossein Baharvand

Stem Cell Researcher, Royan Institute

Umbilical cord blood stem cells have the ability to differentiate into various blood cells and are effective in treating diseases such as leukemia, severe anemia, and immune system deficiencies. In Iran, we have repeatedly used samples stored in the cord blood bank for successful transplantation.

Dr. Gholamreza Bahoush Mehdizadeh

Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Subspecialist

Our recommendation to people is to store newborn umbilical cord blood. Storing stem cells is a service to humanity. This hidden wealth should be introduced to families because in most cases after childbirth, it is discarded as biological waste.

Dr. Ali Ghasemi

Stem Cell Transplant Subspecialist

For a patient in need of a stem cell transplant where a suitable donor is not available, umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation is the best option. Fortunately, transplants performed in Iran with cord blood, like in other countries that have undertaken this activity, have been successful. If bone marrow is perfectly matched, I recommend using bone marrow. However, if the degree of matching between stem cells and the body and umbilical cord blood with the body is equal, I recommend cord blood.

Dr. Marzieh Ebrahimi

Faculty Member, Royan Institute

Instead of discarding the umbilical cord blood of newborns, it can be stored in stem cell banks so that for the treatment of certain diseases, their cells can be transformed into immune cells with the ability to target tumor cells. We have been able to convert umbilical cord blood stem cells into immune cells that can powerfully target cancer cells.
