About Umbilical Cord
What is umbilical cord?
The umbilical cord is the connecting cord from the developing fetus to the placenta which allows blood to carry oxygen and nutrition to the baby in the womb. After the baby is delivered, the umbilical cord is cut and normally discarded with the placenta as medical waste until researchers became aware of its medical potential.

What are umbilical cord stem cells?
Umbilical cord contains Epithelial (EpSCs) and Mesenchymal (MSCs) stem cells which have shown immense potential in aiding the repair of injured tissues and organs and treatment of various diseases. EpSCs form the soft tissues that connect, support, or surround other structures and organs of the body including cornea, skin, and liver. MSCs are the building blocks of structural tissues of our body such as bone, cartilage, muscle, fibrous tissues and fat.
By storing a combination of HSCs, MSCs and EpSCs, you are availing your child the access to growing applications of stem cells and the therapeutic potential that they hold. These cells, only available at birth only, are the youngest and most potent cells obtainable ethically.
