What is
Placenta Tissue?
The placenta is an integral component of your baby’s life support system. The placenta is responsible for transferring oxygen and nutrients between mother and baby, but its usefulness does not stop at birth. Stem cells from the placental tissue have tremendous potential for use in regenerative medicine.
Why is it Valuable?
The placenta is a rich source of Mesenchymal stem cells and mesenchymal-like stem cells, which are multipotent in nature. This means they have the ability to differentiate into specialized cells with specific functions. Scientists have successfully repaired bones, cartilage and fat tissues using MSCs in clinical trials.
How is Placental Tissue Collected?
The collection of placental tissue is a safe, non-invasive procedure that takes place immediately after birth. Much like umbilical cord blood collection, this process poses no harm to the mother or baby. Once the placenta is delivered, healthcare professionals at the hospital prepare it for secure transport to the laboratory.
At the laboratory, trained professionals carefully test and preserve the tissue to maintain the viability of its stem cells. This meticulous process ensures that the cells remain intact for potential future medical applications, maximizing their therapeutic value. By preserving the placental tissue alongside umbilical cord blood, families gain access to an invaluable resource in regenerative medicine for years to come.
The Benefits of Banking Placental Tissue
Banking placental tissue offers families long-term benefits by preserving a valuable source of stem cells that could be used in future medical treatments. Placental tissue is rich in unique stem cells with regenerative potential, making it a powerful resource for emerging therapies. By storing this tissue, families secure a personalized medical resource that may support treatments for a variety of diseases and conditions.
This proactive step provides families with peace of mind, knowing they have safeguarded access to potentially life-saving or life-enhancing treatments for themselves or close relatives. As regenerative medicine advances, the stored cells in placental tissue could become an invaluable asset in addressing future health needs.
The Potential
Placenta tissue stem cells are currently being used in more than 100 regenerative medicine clinical trials worldwide. These studies include treatment for conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, and spinal cord regeneration.
