The entire procedure of testing and collecting stem cells to be stored at the integrated stem cell bank will be supervised by experienced physicians at the CHA Medical Group.

- How long can I store the collected stem cells and immunocytes?
-
-
Bio Insurance stores stem cells and immunocytes for 20 years and 35 years, respectively. However, as semi-permanently frozen is possible for the cells, we offer the opportunity to extend the storage duration before the contract expires.

- Why is it necessary to store autologue stem cells and immunocyte?
-
-
There has been extensive research on stem cells with many clinical trials ongoing today. As a result, cellular therapy is expected to be commercialized in the next few years, contributing to extension of life and better health. However, the greatest concern in utilizing cellular therapy is immunorejection. Each human body has its own histocompatible leukocyte antigen(HLA), so patients who undergo stem cell transplantations run the risk that their immune system may reject the allogeniec cells. Transplanting cell autologous stem cells also relieves concerns about the possibilities of immune system rejection or other side effects. Banking your cells now provides the opportunity to multiply and utilize your younger, healthy cells at a later point in life
