1. They can regenerate tissue. Any tissue.
|
Umbilical Cord Stem Cells home in to areas of injury and inflammation and secrete cytokines and growth factors (also called trophic factors) to induce cellular proliferation, differentiation and angiogenesis (the development of new blood vessels).
Stem Cells are pluripotent, meaning they can reproduce or create many different types of cells. Umbilical Cord Stem Cells are masters of producing the right trophic factors at the right time and in the right place so that the body can restore its natural structure and function. The ability of a stem cell to regenerate tissue within the body lies not in the cell’s capacity to replicate itself and create another cell but, rather, in its stimulatory effect on the body to naturally regenerate its own cells. For example, if Stem Cells are injected into a joint that has damaged cartilage, the Stem Cells will create an environment where new cartilage will be generated. The same is true for other areas of the body including brain, nerves, heart, and more.

They are anti-inflammatory.Stem cells secrete a curtain of bio-active molecules, or trophic factors, that help to dampen inflammation where appropriate. At a site of injury, the cells release trophic factors that tell the immune system to stop overreacting to the injury (which is the immune system’s natural response to get to the site of injury and produce inflammatory molecules to help remove the damage). But… This inflammatory response often gets out of hand. Stem Cells don’t completely shut down the body’s inflammatory response, rather, they shut it down when it appears to be excessive or inappropriate.

They modify and regulate your immune function.Umbilical Cord Stem cells tell the immune system to calm down while also sending the body signals to regenerate healthy tissue and heal. Stem cells induce the production of T regulatory cells, a type of immune cell whose function is to protect the body against immunological self-attack (autoimmunity).

They are anti- apoptotic (stop your cells from dying)Umbilical Cord Stem Cells rescue apoptotic cells (cells on the point of death) from trauma, starvation, low oxygen, environmental toxins, radiation and oxidative stress (internal rusting).

5. They are anti-microbial |
|
|
Umbilical Cord Stem Cells have been shown to be effective against chronic infections and are able to manufacture and secrete antimicrobial peptides that are effective against bacteria, viruses and parasites.

6. They are anti-fibrotic (they break down scar tissue)
|
Scar tissue is fibrotic and can get in the way of the normal functioning of the body. Umbilical Cord Stem Cells assist in the breakdown of scar tissue. And, as stated above, Stem Cells are masters of producing the right trophic factors at the right time and in the right place so that the body can restore its natural structure and function. As a result, less scar tissue is formed. If you have ever had a scar, you know that it looks and feels different than normal skin. Scars also form inside the body at sites of injury.

7. They are safe with no major side effects
8. They are easy to obtain & are “immunologically neutral"
|
Umbilical Cord Stem Cells are easy to obtain and convenient as compared to bone marrow and adipose derived stem cells. No painful extraction procedure as with the latter.
Worried about having a reaction to Umbilical Cord Stem Cells? Don’t. They are immune privileged cells and are immunologically "neutral" and do not set off an attack from your own immune system. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2632684/ https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.07450 |

9. They are more potent & have longer telomeres than bone marrow & adipose stem cells. |
|
More potent that your bone marrow or adipose stem cells: Your own stem cells are older which make them susceptible to oxidative stress which can lead to loss of regenerative function and cell death. Umbilcal Cord Stem Cells proliferate faster, have longer telomeres, less accumulated genetic changes, and have more abundant growth and trophic factors.
