There is uniformity in the belief that stem cells will play a key role in fighting disease as we move forward through this century. Some scientists are confident that stem cells will launch a new era in medicine, perhaps even curing some of our most intractable diseases. The umbilical cord which, at birth, traditionally has been thrown away, contains a rich store of stem cells. Cord Blood America, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiaries, CorCell Companies Inc., and Cord Partners, Inc., markets a service to preserve the umbilical cord blood in a patented process for future use exclusively by the donating family. The collection takes less than five minutes, is painless, easy and non-invasive. Cryogenically preserved umbilical cord stem cells have already been used to treat 75 major diseases, including leukemia, severe anemia, metabolic blood disorders and immune deficiencies. This list is guaranteed to grow as medical research learns more about the incredible healing power of stem cells.

Zahlen des Unternehmen vom 21.05.09 zeigen eine klare Verbesserung. Weiterhin wird die neue US-Regierung wahrscheinlich das "Verbot" der Stammzellenforschung aufheben. Sie bereits angekündigt, dafür große Summen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Das hat e n o r m e positive Auswirkung auf die Geschäfte des Unternehmens. Sollte dies zutreffen wird der Aktienkurs explodieren!!
Die werden wir wohl niemals bei 1,x sehen. Trotzdem: 100k gebunkert und die sehe ich mir 2012 wieder an.

Übrigens wenn sich einer die letzte Quartalsbericht Phonekonferenz angehört hat, da wurde zumindest angedacht das CBAI Expansion in Europa plant. (Primär durch Aufkauf europ. Konkurrenten)
Obama fördert Stammzellenforschung in den USA
09.03.2009
Washington (AFP) — US-Präsident Barack Obama hat eine Kehrtwende in der Stammzellenforschung seines Landes vollzogen. Die Forschung an embryonalen Stammzellen werde in den USA ab sofort wieder mit staatlichen Mitteln unterstützt und vorangetrieben, sagte Obama am Montag in Washington. Der Präsident machte die Bestimmungen seines Vorgängers George W. Bush rückgängig, die den Einsatz von Staatsgeldern stark eingeschränkt hatten.
In der Stammzellenforschung sollten die USA wieder an die Weltspitze rücken, sagte Obama. "Wir eröffnen heute eine neue Front in der Wissenschaft", kündigte er an. Zwar könne er nicht garantieren, ob diese Forschungsrichtung die Hoffnungen auf Durchbrüche bei der Heilung schwerer Krankheiten erfülle. "Ich kann aber versprechen, dass wir es versuchen werden - aktiv, verantwortungsbewusst, und mit der nötigen Dringlichkeit, um verlorenen Boden gutzumachen."
