CordMSCs are short for umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells, found in the Wharton’s jelly (a soft connective tissue within the umbilical cord). CordMSCs are the most primitive and youthful source of MSCs that can be ethically obtained from the human body. Their remarkable capability to transform into various cell types (bone, heart, nerve, cornea, fat, and cartilage cells) allows for treating significant tissue injuries as they can repair and regenerate these organs.
Through extensive ongoing research and clinical trials, CordMSCs have proven medical potential in the treatment of a variety of illnesses. These cells aid tissue regeneration, modulate immune responses, have anti-inflammatory effects, and can counteract fibrosis.
As of 27 March 2025, there were 1,344 clinical studies on MSCs, with rising clinical registrations in this field. This exponential increase since the first trial in 1995 offers confidence in the effectiveness of mesenchymal stem cell therapy.
CordMSCs benefit everyone, as HLA matching is not required for mesenchymal stem cell therapy. However, the ideal and recommended source of CordMSCs is from a family member.
CordMSCs storage involves the collection of the umbilical cord right after birth. It is then sent to the laboratory to be cleaned, selected and cut.
Prior to storage, CryoCord’s CordMSCs undergoes lab-induced cellular dissociation and expansion so that the characteristics, viability, and cell count can be determined. Treatments often required much more cells than those obtained from cord tissue. Therefore, cell multiplication prior to storage is critical to ensure enough CordMSCs when needed.
CryoCord is the leading stem cell storage facility in Malaysia, where we offer more than baby cord blood storage. These bio-investments are continually channelled towards clinical research and R&D. From various studies, we can project that CordMSCs hold the potential to aid or cure unknown diseases that may appear in the future. Learn more about our services and commitment to preserving the health of the current and future generations through baby stem cell storage.
We do not want scientific jargon to be in the way of you understanding the enormous health benefits and protection that cell and gene technology can bring to you and your family. Direct your questions to us. We look forward to answering them.
