Stem Cells

Stem cells are remarkable undifferentiated cells with the unique ability to transform into specific cell types as required by the body. This versatility is attributed to two key characteristics:

1. Self-Replication: Stem cells possess the capability to replicate themselves, ensuring a sustainable source for potential therapeutic applications.
2. Multilineage Differentiation: Stem cells can differentiate into a wide array of specialized cell types, encompassing bone, cartilage, muscle, nerves, and connective tissue. This transformative ability makes them invaluable in regenerative medicine.

Stem cells, functioning as progenitor cells, possess the remarkable ability to regenerate and differentiate into a diverse range of specialized cell types. The process unfolds in a series of steps once these stem cells are introduced into the body.

1. Injection and Signal Recognition: Upon injection, stem cells keenly respond to inflammatory signals emitted by damaged tissues. This critical step serves as the initial trigger for their therapeutic action.
2. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs): Derived from the Umbilical Cord, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are recognized for their multipotent nature, allowing them to transform into various cell types with therapeutic potential.
3. Multifaceted Repair Mechanisms: Stem cells contribute to tissue repair through multiple avenues. Their actions include:
   • Anti-Inflammatory Activity: Stem cells exhibit anti-inflammatory properties, mitigating inflammation in damaged areas.
   • Immune Modulating Capacity: They possess the ability to modulate the immune response, fostering a balanced and controlled healing environment.
   • Regenerative Stimulation: Stem cells stimulate regeneration, actively participating in the restoration of damaged tissues.

To ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes, a rigorous high throughput screening process is undertaken. This meticulous screening identifies stem cells with the highest:

• Anti-Inflammatory Activity
• Immune Modulating Capacity
• Regenerative Stimulation Potential

We source our stem cells from Human Umbilical Cord Tissue, specifically utilizing adult stem cells with a rich concentration of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs). This choice is driven by the heightened efficacy of MSCs in addressing systemic autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, as well as their pivotal role in cellular signaling for tissue repair and regeneration.

Processing Journey:

1. Umbilical Cord Collection:
• The umbilical cord is collected in accordance with the stringent standards set by the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB).
• Approximately four weeks before a scheduled cesarean section, the mother is given the option to either store or donate her unborn child's umbilical cord. If she chooses donation, a thorough review of her medical and social history, along with a blood test, is conducted.
• Once the mother is deemed an acceptable donor, an experienced technician, during the cesarean section, clamps the umbilical cord and places it into a sterile collection bag.
2. Transport to Lab:
• The bag containing the umbilical cord is transported to the lab for processing.
3. Initial Testing:
• A sample of the umbilical cord tissue undergoes testing at a third-party independent FDA registered lab. The testing, following United States Pharmacopeia rule 71 (U.S.P. 71), checks for known communicable diseases.
4. Stem Cell Processing:
• While disease testing is in progress, stem cells are processed, and red blood cell products are meticulously removed.
5. Sterility Testing:
• A sample of the finished stem cell product is sent to another third-party independent FDA registered lab for rigorous sterility testing.
6. Final Approval:
• Stem cells are only made available for distribution after receiving "clean" reports from both labs, ensuring they meet and surpass regulatory requirements.

Exosomes are...

micro-vesicles (30-150nm) that are involved in cell communication. This is a new frontier in regenerative medicine. These exosomes have been recently discovered to be involved in direct cell signaling. Exosomes are isolated from donated human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and purified using our proprietary processing. The unique benefit to these exosomes is that they are stem cell-derived and bring a wide array of growth factors to stimulate and modulate many processes within the healing cascade. Exosomes are not cells but are micro-vesicles, which are about 1/1,000th the size of a cell and contain no nucleus or DNA. They can be regarded as the purest form of cellular therapy available, because their function is to direct tissue and wound healing by activating the patient’s own regenerative cell response. This is one of the latest generations of naturally bioactive stem cell-based products for patient treatment. Stem cells and stem cell therapy work by paracrine signaling (local cell-to-cell communication to induce changes in nearby cells) to create the appropriate healing environment to restore tissue. The exosomes are those paracrine signals isolated from stem cells that can be delivered without the need for delivering stem cells. As the technology and discovery of new methods of treating patients has evolved, the science shows that the optimal way to provide true “stem cell therapy” is to directly provide the signals as its own therapy and avoid potential issues with delivering and keeping transplanted cells alive. Stem cells by nature work to heal, repair, and restore the body. But, in some cases where there is a chronic abnormality, these cells fall into an inflammatory state, work in an unregulated capacity and inhibit healing. The 1000+growth factor proteins found to naturally occur in healthy tissue have shown to help modulate the inflammatory healing process. This is accomplished by activating and recruiting the patients “own cells” to the area, revascularizing the area and reducing the inflammatory response to allow natural healing.
