Biocell Center is the first company in the world to offer this service and, after several successful years in Europe, the company has recently opened a facility in the United States. The cells are collected during a prenatal diagnostic test called genetic amniocentesis. The collection is performed without any changes to the standard amniocentesis procedure itself and the sample may then be stored for decades in Biocell’s state-of-the art laboratory.

“The medical community worldwide is already using stem cells for organ and tissue regeneration, and more medical breakthroughs are foreseen in the future for treatment of diabetes, pathologic tissue and organ damage, neurodegenerative, and other diseases,” says Dr. Giuseppe Simoni, scientific director of Biocell Center in Italy, and a world-renowned medical geneticist.

The Bump comes from the creators of The Knot and The Nest is one of the most popular online resources for expecting moms, and gives future parents invaluable information on fertility, pregnancy, and birth with stage-by-stage advice, local resources, and interactive tools.
