Notes to Editors
WideCells Group PLC
WideCells Group PLC is building an integrated stem cell services
company, focused on making stem cell treatments both accessible and
affordable. This is delivered through three divisions:
-- CellPlan: the world's first stem cell healthcare insurance
plan with financial cover for medical treatment, travel and
accommodation expenses and concierge service to manage the
treatment process.
-- WideCells: The Institute of Stem Cell Technology has been
established and is based in the University of Manchester Innovation
Centre to focus on stem cell research and regenerative medicine.
WideCells also has international cryogenics divisions specialising
in stem cell storage.
-- Wideacademy: developing an education and training division to
promote awareness of the benefits of stem cell storage across the
global general practice community.
Stem Cell Fast Facts:
-- Cord blood (which is taken from the umbilical cord) provides
the most effective source of stem cells for families, because it is
simple, safe and painless to collect, relative to other sources of
stem cells such as bone marrow - WideCells will focus on promoting
the collection and storage of cord blood.
-- Since 2005, there has been a 300% increase in the number of
illnesses that can be treated using stem cells.
-- 82 illnesses can currently be treated using stem cell procedures.
-- Despite initial collection and storage often costing no more
than a few GBPthousands, actual treatment can cost in the
GBPhundreds of thousands - before the development of an insurance
product such as CellPlan, the treatment remained largely available
only to Higher Net Worth individuals.
