Blood from the umbilical cord and placenta is a rich source of stem and progenitor cells, and can be used to treat many blood cancers, immune deficiencies and genetic disorders. In addition, the function and biology of the cells present a unique potential for the development of novel cell therapies, which is why so many of our partners working in advanced therapies and regenerative medicine choose to use it.
Umbilical tissue is a potent source of mesenchymal stromal cells, which have shown to have potential benefits in a range of conditions because of their ability to help regulate the immune system and to self-renew and differentiate into a wide range of tissue, such as bone, cartilage, or liver.
