Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC)
Mesenchymal stem cells obtained from the umbilical cord are abundant in a tissue called Wharton's Jelly and are known to be young, vital cells.
With their excellent tissue regeneration and immune-modulating capabilities, they are being widely researched in the field of regenerative medicine.
Advantages of Wharton's Jelly Stem Cells
Wharton's jelly stem cells, extracted from umbilical-cord tissue, have superior properties to other adult-tissue-derived stem cells and are highly valued clinically in regenerative medicine.
- Excellent proliferation — faster growth than other adult stem cells, stable quality
- High differentiation — into neural, cartilage, bone and other tissues with high efficiency
- Low immune rejection — very low immunogenicity, minimal rejection even in allogeneic transplant
- Clinical safety — no risk of tumor formation, low incidence of side effects
Functions of Wharton's Jelly Exosomes
Exosomes from Wharton's-jelly-derived stem cells contain diverse miRNAs and growth factors, delivering richer bioactive substances than ordinary adult stem cells for outstanding therapeutic effect.
- Anti-inflammatory & anti-fibrotic — reduced inflammatory cytokines and collagen deposition, promoted tissue regeneration
- Angiogenesis — contains VEGF and other angiogenic factors, promotes capillary formation
- Immunomodulation — regulates T cells and macrophages to optimize immune-cell function
- Telomere protection & anti-aging — extended cell lifespan, reduced ROS, repair of cell damage
- Improved mitochondrial function — higher energy-metabolism efficiency and ATP production
