With over 500 million active users on Facebook, their membership is now equivalent to the size of a country that would rank third in population behind the People's Republic of China and India and roughly 190 million ahead of the United States. It is undeniably a phenomenon for the record books. And what better way for ViaCord to connect with you...

Blood Stem Cells—Playing a Positive Role in Stroke Recovery Studies

According to the National Stroke Association, strokes rank as the third leading cause of death in the United States and serve as a leading cause of disability in adults.1 There are two ways that a stroke can occur: a blood clot blocks an artery or a blood vessel ruptures. Once a pathway to the brain is blocked or damaged, brain cells start to die—causing brain damage. And until recently, many scientists believed that damage to the brain was irreversible. But studies on the effects of cord blood stem cells on rats are showing otherwise...

“Hope they keep up this type of research. Any type of stroke therapy is a blessing.”

ViaCord is AABB-accredited. What Does That Mean for You?

“When you bank your baby's cord blood, you want the best chances for a successful stem cell transplant. That's why it's important to ask the cord blood bank's representative if their bank is fully accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB). AABB accreditation is one indicator to ensure donors and clients that a cord blood bank is delivering a quality process—from collection to storage and, if necessary, transplantation. And since 2003, ViaCord has been proud to be AABB-accredited.”
