What does it mean to bank stem cells?
Banking stem cells is acquiring and storing your stem cells in a safe place so when you need them, they are ready for your withdrawal. We prepare a Master Stem Cell Bank from your initial tissue deposit that can provide you, on average, over 1000 therapeutic doses for stem cell treatment in the future.

How do you extract stem cells?
After receiving the placenta, we carefully remove the amniotic membrane, a thin tissue that covers the outside of the placenta.The stem cells are extracted from the amniotic membrane.
What happens to my placenta?
After we remove the amniotic membrane, a thin tissue covering the outside of the placenta, the rest of the placenta will be appropriately discarded.
What is a Master Cell Bank?
A Master Cell Bank are master cells that are stored at various generations. In the future, these master cells are used to manufacture over 1000 treatments over the course of a lifetime.
Is the banking process painful for the mother or the baby?
Absolutely not. The cells used for Newborn Stem Cell Banking come from the placenta. The whole process is not invasive in any way.
How do I take my placenta?
Let your physician or midwife know that you would like to take your placenta for stem cell storage. Letting them know in advance will help them prepare the placenta for release. After the baby is born, they will appropriately package the placenta for you.
Why bank MSCs now, before they are FDA approved for use?"
Banking MSCs from the placenta is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity since it can only happen at birth. The advantage of banking at birth is that the MSCs will be stored from Day 1. This means that if there is a need for stem cells early on in life, cells can be accessed without the need for an invasive procedure. Also, banked cells can be released in the event of an emergency or life-threatening circumstance.
Banking your stem cells ensures you’ll have access to future treatments as they become available.
Hope Biosciences' cultured stem cells are being actively studied in FDA authorized clinical trials. Click here f(https://www.hope.bio/clinical-trials)or an up-to-date list of active studies.
What is the advantage to banking now instead of waiting until my child needs the cells?
Birth, is the one and only time when a child's stem cells can be harvested completely uninvasively. If a child is found to have a life threatening condition early on, they could have access to their banked cells from birth.
What is the difference between Hope Biosciences stem cell banking and other stem cell banks?
Hope Biosciences uses our proprietary process and culture media to create your own Master Cell Bank which can produce, on average, more than 1000 therapeutic doses, on demand.
We are the only clinical grade stem cell bank in the nation that banks pure MSCs from both adults and newborns. We do not bank tissue or blood. We simply bank the cells that matter.

Why is stem cell banking with Hope Biosciences so expensive?
Hope Biosciences does not throw your tissue or blood in a freezer and expect that you will have viable cells to use in the future. We ensure that pure Mesenchymal Stem Cells that we bank from you are banked in a way that can generate over 1000 treatments that can be used in the future. This 5-7 week patented banking process in exclusively available only at Hope Biosciences.

How can I use the cells that I have banked?
Currently, in the United States, the cells that we process are considered drug products. Therefore, we can only release them in FDA approved clinical trials. Many bankers are participating in clinical trials utilizing their own stem cells. Click here (https://www.hope.bio/clinical-trials)for a comprehensive list of active clinical trials using Hope Biosciences' stem cells.
What happens if there are no stem cells in the placenta?
Hope Biosciences' Peace-of-Mind Guarantee: If we are unable to successfully process and bank your stem cells, every penny will be refunded.
