Stem Cells


Choices in Cord Blood Banking Factors Influencing Parental Decision Making

Cord blood banking is increasingly being used to improve and save lives. Stem cells derived from umbilical blood have been used in more than 14,000 transplants worldwide to treat a wide range of blood diseases, genetic and metabolic disorders, immunodeficiencies and various forms of cancer. However, many expectant parents still do not fully understand the significance of cord blood storage. A study published in the Journal of Reproductive Medicine shows that a third of expectant parents are unaware of the option to preserve cord blood. Of the two-thirds who have some knowledge, 74% describe themselves as ¡§minimally informed.¨

Part 1 of this market report used proprietary data-derivation techniques to analyze conditions of the cord blood banking industry. Part 2 of this report used an end-user survey of expectant parents to identify and analyze the factors involved in the decision to privately store, publicly donate, or discard cord blood at birth. More than 1,200 expectation parents throughout the U.S., as well as Canada, Mexico, Europe, Asia, South/Central America, Australia and other regions answered the detailed survey between November 2008 and January 2009.
The report includes:

Sources through which expectant parents learn of cord blood banking
Rates of parental awareness of cord blood banking by gender, household income, geographic location, education, birth order, and other critical factors
Reasons parents cite as driving the decision to store cord blood
Factors influencing the decision for private vs. public storage of cord blood
Price sensitivity and quality expectations
Comparative analysis of quality variables among cord blood banks and parent perceptions of them
Parental responsiveness to health statistics
Differences in perspective based on global region, as well as differences due to location (city vs. suburban vs. rural)
Critical trends in cord blood banking and the factors influencing them
Competitive analysis of the Cord Blood Banking Industry, including:

U.S. Public Cord Blood Banks
U.S. Private Cord Blood Banks
International Public Cord Blood Banks
International Private Cord Blood Banks
Population Profiling: Characteristics of those highly/moderately/least likely to purchase cord blood banking services

Methods to effectively communicate with your target audience: Expectant Parents

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are stem cells derived from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst, which is a stage reach 4-5 days post fertilization. hESCs are the most pluripotent of all stem cell types and can develop into over 200 different cell types of the human body.

hESCs were first derived from mouse embryos in 1981 by Martin Evans and Matthew Kaufman, and independently by Gail R. Martin. In 1995, the first successful culturing of embryonic stem cells from non-human primates occurred at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Another breakthrough followed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in November 1998 when a group led by Dr. James Thomson developed a technique to isolate and grow hESCs derived from human blastocysts. Federal funds to support hESC research became available on August 9, 2001, when President Bush announced his decision regarding federal funding for hESC research.

Because of their plasticity and unlimited capacity for self-renewal, hESCs have been proposed for use in wide range of applications, including toxicology testing, tissue engineering, cellular therapies, and basic stem cell biology research. Of particular interest to the medical community is the potential for use of hESCs to heal tissues with naturally limited capacity for renewal, such as the human heart, liver and brain.
