What is Cord Tissue?
Your baby’s umbilical cord contains valuable stem cells that are different from those found in the cord blood. Cord tissue refers to the tissue inside the umbilical cord. Wharton’s Jelly, is a substance found within the umbilical cord and is an abundant source of valuable stem cells.
The Value of Cord Tissue
Clinical trials have shown cord tissue to be more useful than cord blood in certain therapies. These include treatments for spinal cord injuries, cartilage repair, autoimmune disease, liver disease, orthopedic indications and neurological conditions.
The Potential
These cord tissue stem cells are called mesenchymal stem cells or MSC’s. Mesenchymal stem cells have the potential to evolve into many types of cells, including organ, muscle, skin, bone, cartilage, and fat cells.
