Adult stem cells or Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) (also known as somatic stem cells) MSCs come from the connective tissue or stroma that surrounds the body's organs and other tissues. Unlike the pluripotent embryonic stem cells that can divide into any cell type, Adult stem cells are multipotent.
Multipotent means they can only differentiate into several distinct cell types. Their primary roles in a living organism are to maintain and repair the specific tissue in which they are found.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are multipotent, self-renewing cells that can be found in almost all post natal organs and tissues. The main characteristic of MSC is the its ability and capacity to self- renew and differentiate into variety of other cell types such as skin, muscle, brain, vascular, cartilage and bone.
Umbilical Cord Tissue Wharton’s Jelly derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells MSCs
Youngest and multipotent
Most vibrant and effective
Ethical
Easier to harvest compared with bone marrow-derived MSCs
Immune privilege
What is the Umbilical Cord MSCs?
MSCs are extracted from the Wharton Jelly
Also known as “multipotent” stem cell that has the potential to differentiate into a wide range of cells and tissues such as bone (osteoblasts), heart, fat (adipocytes), nerve, muscle (myocytes), liver, skin, cartilage (chondrocytes) and etc.
Abundant production of soluble growth factors and cytokines, and hematopoiesis supporting properties.
How Umbilical Cord MSC Therapy works?
The MSCs Stem Cells (from fifty million to a hundred million cells) are administered into the patient intravenously
MSCs have unique immunomodulatory function. They modulate the immune function of the body thereby improving the immune response and combating autoimmune diseases such as lupus, multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis and type-1 diabetes
MSCs have immune privilege properties. Therefore, they are well tolerated in allogenic (transplant onto a different person) transplantation, without any rejection or side effects
MSCs will release new cells, which will replace the old cells and regenerate our tissues/organs thereby promoting overall wellness and improved health
MSCs can migrate to the sites of inflammation and promote healing through its immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory benefits
