Cord Tissue Banking
Store your baby's umbilical cord tissue - a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells with exciting potential for regenerative medicine.
Unlock the Power of Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Cord tissue banking involves storing a segment of the umbilical cord itself, which is rich in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). These powerful cells have unique properties that make them valuable for potential future treatments.
Unlike cord blood stem cells (hematopoietic), mesenchymal stem cells can:
- Regenerate tissues - Form bone, cartilage, muscle, and fat cells
- Reduce inflammation - Powerful anti-inflammatory properties
- Modulate immune response - Help regulate immune system function
- Used without matching - Lower risk of rejection in treatments
Cord Blood vs Cord Tissue
Both contain valuable stem cells, but they serve different potential purposes.
| Feature | Cord Blood | Cord Tissue |
|---|---|---|
| Stem Cell Type | Hematopoietic (HSCs) | Mesenchymal (MSCs) |
| Primary Use | Blood disorders, immune conditions | Tissue regeneration, anti-inflammatory |
| Current Treatments | 85+ FDA-approved conditions | Clinical trials ongoing |
| Matching Required | Yes (for transplants) | No (universal use potential) |
| Cell Quantity | Limited to collection volume | Can be expanded in lab |
| Research Areas | Blood cancers, anemia | Autism, CP, diabetes, heart disease |
Recommendation: For maximum protection, consider storing both cord blood and cord tissue.
View Combined PackagesCurrent Research Applications
Mesenchymal stem cells from cord tissue are being studied for numerous conditions.
Neurological Conditions
- Cerebral Palsy
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Spinal Cord Injury
- Stroke Recovery
Cardiovascular
- Heart Failure
- Cardiac Tissue Repair
- Peripheral Artery Disease
Orthopedic
- Cartilage Repair
- Bone Regeneration

Frequently Asked Questions
Cord tissue can only be collected at birth. By storing it now, you're preserving a unique biological resource that could be valuable for future treatments. Research is advancing rapidly, and many clinical trials show promising results.
Yes! One of the advantages of mesenchymal stem cells is their immunomodulatory properties, which means they can potentially be used without perfect matching. This makes them valuable for the entire family.
After your baby is born and the cord blood is collected, a 10-20 cm segment of the umbilical cord is cut and placed in the collection container. The process is simple, painless, and takes just a few minutes.
For maximum protection, we recommend storing both. Cord blood has current FDA-approved treatments, while cord tissue offers potential for future regenerative therapies. Together, they provide the most comprehensive stem cell coverage for your family.
