In 1997, the Leipzig doctors founded the first company in Europe that allowed the private storage of cord blood: Vita 34 GmbH. The goal: to contribute to the healing of serious diseases. Today it is the largest stem cell repository in the German-speaking region and the most important blood and cord blood bank in Europe. A close-up.
Leipzig. “Blood is a very special juice” – Mephisto already knew this in Goethe’s Faust. It is the elixir of human life. There is no existence without blood. And this magical liquid can also save lives. In particular, the stem cells contained in the blood of the umbilical cord. They are the building blocks of human existence, vital and powerful, capable of overcoming disease.
The Leipzig company Vita 34 has been dedicated for years to the preservation of the umbilical cord blood of newborns for use in emergencies for healing. Founded 25 years ago, today it is Europe’s most important cord blood and tissue bank and at the same time the largest stem cell repository in the German-speaking region. The effect this red liquid can achieve is a miracle. A moving story illustrates this quite vividly.
