SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- A child with a life threatening disease is heart wrenching for parents. Suddenly they are faced with no easy way to get a match for stem cells that could save their child. <\/p>\n
With cell therapy, there is a way to do that but it starts in the delivery room. <\/p>\n
Delanie Rinne's fourth child, Ezekial, was born earlier this year and even though he'll get older; proof of that day is being stored at Core23 BioBank in Springfield. <\/p>\n
\"We decided to look into banking the cord blood because we know that this is probably our last biological child,\" says Rinne. <\/p>\n
Core23 stores your child's blood, plasma or tissue from the umbilical cord to help treat 81 different diseases. <\/p>\n
\"If I had a child that has Leukemia and I was pregnant then that would be a treatment option.\" <\/p>\n
Emily and Michael Perry opened the private cord bank as another option for parents. <\/p>\n
\"We see that cell therapy is surpassing bone marrow, we truly believe that it is the medicine of the future.\" <\/p>\n
\"Cell therapy is taking a healthy, viable cell and putting it into somebody's body to treat a disease or a condition.\" <\/p>\n
The process starts in the delivery room and ends in a hydrogen tank in their lab. <\/p>\n
