If you follow international news, chances are you might have come across the news that Cristiano Ronaldo, Rafael Nadal, Kim Kardashian, Tony Robbins, and David Beckham use stem cell therapy. And even many parents in Singapore are storing their child’s stem cells just after delivery.
Wondering why they are doing so? Let’s explore.

Stem cell preservation is also known as stem cell banking. It is the process of collecting, processing, and storing a baby’s stem cells just after delivery so they can be used in medical treatments in the future.
The different sources of stem cells from a newborn are:
Because they have the following qualities:
The primary factor is the unique benefits that stem cells offer.
Lets explore stem cells in detail so that you can understand the reasons why many parents in Singapore are choosing to store them at the time of birth.
These are the cells with the ability to develop into many different types of cells in the body. They function as a repair system for the body.
The doctors and scientists community is excited about stem cells because of their potential to help in many different areas of health and medical research.
Multipotent stem cells are cells that have the potential to self-renew by dividing and to develop into multiple specialized cell types present in a specific tissue or organ.
Stem cells can develop into needed cell types such as muscle or bone. This can help rebuild damaged areas from injuries or wear and promote natural healing.
For example, Cristiano Ronaldo has been reported to use autologous stem cell therapy for his knee and muscle injuries.
These cells are known to release anti-inflammatory signals. This helps calm overactive immune responses and promote recovery in conditions such as arthritis.
Mesenchymal stem cells have been studied to support your immune system and prevent attacks on healthy tissues in autoimmune diseases such as MS (Multiple Sclerosis).
Hematopoietic stem cells sourced from umbilical cord blood help rebuild blood and immune systems post-chemotherapy for leukemia. They have the ability to multiply rapidly, providing a lifeline when bone marrow fails.
By repairing root causes such as joint damage, these cells can manage chronic pain, often without the use of opioids or invasive surgery.
Stem cells have been studied to grow new heart muscle after attacks or retinal cells for vision loss in macular degeneration (an eye disease that affects central vision). This can lessen the organ transplant requirement by restoring functional tissue.
Stem cells have the potential to generate insulin-making cells destroyed in type 1 diabetes. This can help stabilize blood sugar naturally.
Stem cells allow for rejuvenation of tissues by replacing worn cells and support repair signals. This helps in slowing age-related decline and improving skin, joints, and vitality.
Khloe Kardashian documented her recent trip to Mexico to undergo muse stem cell treatment.
Cryoviva Singapore (an AABB-accredited private cord blood bank) follows safe banking:
The cost may depend on the service provider’s experience, location in Singapore, advanced technology used, storage years, and other factors.
Cryoviva costs range between 5,000 to 8,000 SGD, making it affordable for many parents living in Singapore.

Cryoviva Singapore is known as the top cord tissue banking facility in Singapore. We are backed by an experienced technical team in our Ministry of Health (MOH) licensed facility.
Doctors can use it to address more than 80 diseases, including blood cancers (like leukemia), immune deficiencies, and metabolic disorders.
It is the process of collecting, processing, and storing the blood from the umbilical cord and placenta after birth. It is rich in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), having the potential to be used to address many health conditions.
