Stem Cells in Menstrual Blood
Stem cell research is undoubtedly a hot and controversial topic with people nation-wide as well as internationally. The topic only grew more heated in early March when Barack Obama overturned a ban on federal funding human embryonic stem cell research and promised to remove all ideology from scientific studies. However, no matter what your position on stem cell research is, it can undoubtedly mean great things for the health industry and go on to cure many illnesses and diseases, such as diabetes, cardiac, stroke, vascular regeneration, and many cancers.
It has been hypothesized that menstrual blood contains a viable source of stem cells to be utilized or preserved for future use, providing an ideal source for a vast range of stem cell research and therapies. In November 2007 Cryo-Cell announced a discovery of stem cell technology, launching the world’s first commercial service to allow women to collect and cryopreserve their own stem cells, found in their own menstrual blood.
Menstrual blood contains millions of adult stem cells that demonstrate properties similar to bone marrow and embryonic stem cells. The stem cells found in menstrual blood rapidly multiply, turning into possibly every cell type in the human body.
Whether you agree with stem cell research or not, everyone supports the research to cure many illnesses and diseases and retrieving stem cells from menstrual blood would not infringe upon anyone’s moral code, considering that menstrual blood is something that arrives monthly for all women.
This miraculous discovery was hypothesized and put in motion by C’elle , a company that has created an easy-to-use collection kit to collect life-saving stem cells found naturally in the menstrual blood of women. You can read more about their company and work at the C’elle Blog .
