Dallas Hextell's Story
CBR has more experience than any other family bank at providing samples for use in lifesaving medical transplants.
Our clients depend on us to store their baby's stem cells for a lifetime. At CBR, we've done everything possible to honor that trust.
Dallas Hextell, diagnosed with cerebral palsy, is helping raise awareness of research exploring the use of a child's own cord blood stem cells in the treatment of brain injury.
Banking cord blood does not guarantee that the cells will provide a cure or be applicable for every situation. For inherited genetic conditions, the child will not be able to use his or her own stem cells. A matched sibling's stem cells would be the first choice. Ultimate use will be determined by the treating physician. Treatment for brain injury and juvenile diabetes is experimental and currently requires the use of your own cord blood. Medical treatments using family banked cord tissue are in early research and are not available today; there is no guarantee that therapies will be developed in the future.
