1 Γιατί να φυλάξω στην ελληνική δημόσια τράπεζα τα μεσεγχυματικά βλαστοκύτταρά της ουσίας του Wharton για οικογενειακή χρήση και να της δωρίσω το αίμα του ομφαλίου λώρου του παιδιού μου; Έχει επιστημονική βάση η ενέργεια μου αυτή;
2 What are the mesenchymal cells that are derived from the of the umbilical cord ( Wharton’s jell) and what are they useful for?
3 In what cases the umbilical cord blood (UCB) stem cells can be used to treat diseases today?
4 Can UCB be used for autologous use, (own child’s cells), even for leukemia?
5 Is it possible my child’s UCB stem cells to be disease carrier, so we can not use them when needed.
6 The possibilities the stem cells to be used from the child or the family are low, so why we should be follow this procedure?
7 Can doctors use our child’s cryopreserved stem cells or a disease is transferred through them ?
8 Is any reason to bank my child’s stem cells since a public bank can supply in the case I needed?
9 Why should I store the stem cells from the umbilical cord blood and not take them from the bone marrow or adipose tissue when I need them?
10 Why do grafts from the umbilical cord blood have greater value from those of bone marrow?
11 Does the collection of the blood of the umbilical cord deprive blood from the newborn baby?
12 Is it possible that the stem cells remain alive for such a long period of time?
13 Is it possible that in the future stem cells will no longer be used or maybe replaced by something alse?
14 Can the stem cells from the umbilical cord blood proliferate, so we will have always a constant or rising number of stem cells?
15 If I choose private storage of the stem cells of my child do I deprive them from the public bank?
16 Can I donate the stem cells in a public bank and use them in the future, when I need?
17 What are the differences between public and private banking?
18 Why should I store stem cells of the umbilical cord since adult cells can be transformed into stem cells
19 What are the mesenchymal cells that are derived from the of the umbilical cord ( Wharton’s jell) and what are they useful for?
20 Should I store mesenchymal stem cells of the Wharton’s jelly for family use or should I donate the blood of the umbilical cord of my child? Has this action any scientific base?
21 Are there some tests that should be performed to the blood of the child in order to secure the right storage and the future use of stem cells?
