The cells that help
rebuild and repair.
Your umbilical cord contains mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) being studied for their potential to help repair muscle, bone, cartilage, skin, and organs. Over 500 clinical trials are exploring their potential.
What are cord tissue stem cells?
Your umbilical cord contains a second type of stem cell — one that doesn't build blood, but helps the body repair and rebuild itself.
There's more than blood in the cord
The umbilical cord itself — the tissue — contains a different type of stem cell called mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). They live inside a jelly-like substance called Wharton's jelly.
They help repair, not replace
Where cord blood rebuilds your blood and immune system, cord tissue MSCs are being studied for their ability to help repair structural tissue — muscle, bone, cartilage, skin, and organs. They're the body's construction crew.
That changes everything
researchers are exploring potential applications for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, spinal cord injuries, diabetes, arthritis. Over 500 clinical trials are underway worldwide.
No matching required
Unlike cord blood, MSCs don't require HLA matching. That means they could potentially be used by any family member — parents, siblings, even grandparents — without the compatibility barrier.
