Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are powerful multipotent cells that can differentiate into various types of tissues, such as bone, cartilage, and muscle. At D&R Biotech, we use umbilical cord-derived MSCs, known for their high regenerative potential. These cells promote healing and regeneration in damaged tissues, making them an excellent treatment option for conditions like osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, and degenerative diseases.
MSC therapy works by injecting these stem cells into the affected area, where they release growth factors and cytokines that encourage the body’s natural healing processes. The therapy reduces inflammation, enhances tissue repair, and improves cellular function. As a non-invasive, natural solution to many chronic conditions, MSC therapy is becoming one of the most sought-after treatments in regenerative medicine.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are highly effective in regenerative medicine due to their:
Why using patient’s own bone marrow or adipose stem cell are not recommended? This is because a lot of stem cell in one’s body are as old as that person it, and hence not very active. Their ability to successfully increase sufficient blood flow and allow for tissue regeneration is inferior to umbilical cord stem cells.
Specifically, the therapeutic potential of autologous bone marrow or adipose stem cell in the treatment of older patients is impaired by a number of age-related factors such as oxidative stress, telomere length, DNA damage, disease, and long-term use of some medication.
This is in stark contrast to the youthful genotype and phenotype of neonatal tissue-derived stem cells such as from the umbilical cord. They are better at facilitating repair and regeneration of tissue damage, creating new blood flow with superior anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory efficacy compared to mature stem cells form one’s adipose or bone marrow.
As a result of the inferiority of autologous stem cells due to the reasons above and better results being seen with umbilical cord stem cells, D&R only uses the donor stem cells today.
Umbilical Cord MSCs are the most potent due to being the youngest and most primitive. They are immuno-privileged, meaning less risk of rejection, and found abundantly in Wharton’s Jelly, making them an ideal choice for regenerative therapies.
