Why Bank Your Stem Cells at American Cell Technology?

Posted by American Cell Technology on April 7th, 2021

A stem cell is essentially a blank slate of your DNA that can replicate and then, when given the right set of signals, differentiate into various different cells that make up the human body. Stem cell banking is the process of isolating your personal stem cells with your own DNA and eventually cryogenically preserving those stem cells for future use. Since stem cells have the ability to self-replicate, they can also be culture expanded or in laymen’s terms, grown, to much greater numbers. All of these cells can be stored for the future.

As we age, so do our cells. The stressors of daily activity, injuries, work, and exposure to bacteria and viruses causes all sorts of cellular damage. When you’re young, your body has much higher levels of stem cells, which makes the healing process quicker and easier. However, as we age, our readily available stem cell population decreases. Our cells are put under greater stress and their protective DNA endcaps (telomeres) shorten, resulting in a longer, more difficult, and sometimes nonexistent healing process. Cellular aging can eventually lead to age-related diseases such as arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative conditions.

One day, all newborns will have the opportunity to bank their young, healthy stem cells at birth, but in the meantime, over 300 million Americans who were not afforded this opportunity are able to safely bank their own stem cells for the future with American Cell Technology. Despite the aging process we all go through, you still have access to some very young, healthy and viable adult stem cells that are conveniently stored in your adipose (fat) tissue and even your bone marrow. 

Reasons to choose American Cell Technology

American Cell Technologyoffers a safe and trusted environment to store personal stem cells, already providing services to thousands across the country. Whether you are saving the stem cells from the birth of a new family member or banking your own adult stem cells, ACT can be the right choice. It is FDA-registered and makes no claims or promises as to what your personal stem cells can accomplish – something that is up to you and your doctor. However, ACT ensures the best care for your cells, as they are handled with a proprietary xeno-free technology in a cGMP laboratory, monitored for sterility throughout the process. ACT’s technology allows your cells to be grown in high numbers, cryogenically preserved for decades, and made available upon request.

American Cell Technology works with some of the best technology leaders and some of the most advanced laboratory-based processes and acts simply as the custodian of your own cells which belong to you. It is ultimately up to you and your doctor to decide when and how you want to use your cells.

Just like the rest of your body, your cells grow older each day. Cellular aging can be measured and quantified by evaluating your telomeres (the protective endcaps on your DNA), which shorten as you age. The stem cells derived from umbilical cord tissue are about as young as adult stem cells can be. Even though obtained from adults, the stem cells in your adipose tissue are actually quite young as well, with long telomeres, as they are largely sequestered from the rest of the body. As well, you can harvest viable stem cells from your bone marrow. All of these mesenchymal stem cells can be saved and stored with American Cell Technology today, when they are their youngest, so that they are ready to use in the future.
