Presentation summary:
Cord blood monocytes differ from monocytes in adult blood and appear to be uniquely suited for use as source material from which to derive new therapeutics for treatment of brain disorders. DUOC-01, a cellular therapy that promotes myelination, is undergoing testing to augment umbilical cord blood transplants in children with leukodystrophies. We are studying whether infusions of cord blood cells could have efficacy in acquired brain injuries. Clinical studies to date have demonstrated safety and efficacy of intravenous infusions of autologous and sibling cord blood in hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, cerebral palsy, congenital hydrocephalus and autism, and acute ischemic stroke. Further development of these therapies using allogeneic cord blood products can expand access to these therapies for all patients in need. While you're there, be sure to ask our product experts how we can create better outcomes for you.
