Stem cells from the umbilical cord tissue – known as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) – are among the most promising tools in modern medicine. These unique cells have the ability to repair and regenerate tissue, calm inflammation, and modulate immune responses.
These special cells – called mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) – are being researched all over the world because of their incredible ability to repair tissue, reduce inflammation, and support the immune system. One day, they may help treat everything from injuries to chronic diseases. MSCs can develop into different types of tissue and support the body’s natural healing processes in ways no other cells can. Their ability to reduce inflammation and promote repair makes them a critical area of research in regenerative medicine. When your baby is born, you have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to save something truly valuable: stem cells from the umbilical cord tissue. They are currently being studied in a wide range of clinical trials, exploring their use in conditions such as: E.g. type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis. E.g. cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorders. Involving bone, cartilage, or muscle Like graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) While cord blood contains blood-forming stem cells that help build the immune and blood system, cord tissue contains mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) – a completely different and incredibly versatile type of stem cell. MSCs have the unique ability to develop into several types of structural cells in the body, including: Which cushions joints and protects bones. Which plays a role in energy storage and healing Which transmits signals throughout the body Involved in detoxifying and processing nutrients. Which supports breathing Which supports the body and repairs fractures. Which is essential for movement and strength. Which pumps blood and supports heart function The transparent layer in the eye responsible for clear vision Which protects the body and heals wounds Because of this wide potential, MSCs are central to research in regenerative medicine, offering hope for future treatments in a variety of serious and chronic conditions. Storing your baby’s cord tissue stem cells is a thoughtful and future-focused decision – even if there are no known illnesses in your family today. The mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) found in cord tissue are being widely studied for their ability to repair damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, and support the immune system. They are especially promising in the field of regenerative medicine, with the potential to treat conditions that are currently difficult or impossible to cure. By preserving these cells at birth, you’re giving your child access to future medical opportunities – and preparing for the unexpected. Cord tissue stem cell storage is a valuable choice for all families, but may be especially meaningful in these cases: MSCs are being researched for conditions like multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, Crohn’s disease, and arthritis – where the immune system attacks the body’s own tissu Studies are exploring the potential of MSCs in treating cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorders, and brain injuries – aiming to reduce inflammation and support healing. Finding a perfect donor match can be more difficult across ethnic backgrounds. Having your own child’s stem cells stored ensures access to a fully compatible option. Storing stem cells from a newborn conceived via assisted reproduction helps preserve a unique genetic resource that may be harder to replicate later. If there’s a higher chance of complications, having stem cells stored at birth may give added peace of mind and open up options for future care. Even without a current diagnosis, stem cell science is moving fast. Storing MSCs now could open the door to tomorrow’s treatments for injuries, illnesses, or age-related conditions. At birth, your baby’s umbilical cord tissue contains powerful stem cells with the ability to repair and regenerate tissue in the body. These mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are being widely studied in regenerative medicine and may one day support treatment of injuries, inflammation, and immune-related diseases. Cellaviva is the only stem cell bank in Scandinavia that fully prepares and quality-checks cord tissue cells before storage – and you only pay if the cells are approved for future treatment use.
