Lifeline Business Profile
Umbilical cord tissue and the tissue of the placenta are rich sources of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Currently MSC are the most popular form of stem cells that are being used in clinical trials and are appearing in published regenerative medicine research. MSC show great promise for treating a wide variety of auto-immune disorders and treating injuries to muscle or bone (heart disease, sports injuries). The MSC from birth sources, such as cord tissue and the placenta, grow faster than MSC from adult donors and have never been exposed to disease.
