Matthew Farrow

Matthew Farrow

The World’s First Successful Cord Blood Transplant
USA

In 1987, at the young age of 4, an American boy named Matthew Farrow was diagnosed with Fanconi Anaemia. It is a rare genetic disease that causes congenital defects, abnormalities of the skin, short stature, kidney problems and a shortened lifespan. The umbilical cord blood sample was collected after Matthew’s sister was born, then cryogenically frozen and stored at a facility in Indianapolis. It was then flown to Paris where the procedure was performed by Dr. Eliane Gluckman of the Hôpital Saint-Louis. Matthew’s cord blood stem cell transplant was a success and he was cured of Fanconi anaemia. He hopes that his story of being the world’s first successful umbilical cord blood transplant recipient will encourage more parents to consider preserving their child’s umbilical cord blood – an important decision that could protect their child’s health in the future.

Mohammad Naji Aldarmaki

Cord Blood Stem Cell Donor for Mahra Naji
UAE

Mahra was born on 26th August, 2008. When she was 4 months old, she was diagnosed with Thalassemia. This meant that every 3 weeks she needed blood transfusion. When her mother gave birth to a baby boy, Mohammad Naji (photo on the right side), his cord blood stem cell was collected. Fortunately he was a perfect match for his sister, Mahra. When Mahra (recipient) turned 2 years old and Mohammad (donor) turned 1 year and 2 months old, they travelled to UK to conduct bone marrow transplantation using HSC from Mohammad’s cord blood stem cell and bone marrow. The transplantation was very successful and Mahra now is a 14 year old survivor from Thalassemia, due to stem cell therapy!

Mrs. Elizabeth Lee, 67 years old, received Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) from Cord Tissues. This further helped her to improve her immunity, muscle mass and bone density. Additionally, MSCs also repaired her cartilage, disc and ligaments. She also received Exosomes to prevent Alzheimer’s and maintain a youthful face.
