MIRACHYMALSM stem cells are extracted from the Wharton's Jelly inside the umbilical cord after the birth of a baby. They are a type of stem cell technically termed a Mesenchymal stem cell. These "MIRACLE MESENCHYMAL" ("MIRACHYMALSM") stem cells create specialized cells in the body that make up the musculo-skeletal system (bone, cartilage, fibrous tissue and muscle). Mesenchymal stem cells have special immune-regulatory functions and have been used to treat immune and inflammatory diseases.
MIRACHYMALSM stem cells create muscle and connective tissue, such as heart and bone tissue. By comparison, umbilical cord blood stem cells, which are extracted from the umbilical cord blood after the birth of a child, create the cells of the blood system.
Stem Cell Authority's innovative MIRACHYMALSM Stem Cell Preservation program provides parents in the US with the exclusive opportunity for the collection and cryogenic preservation of the MIRACHYMALSM stem cells, in addition to the preservation of the Hematopoietic umbilical cord blood stem cells. Both cells are cryogenically preserved for the possible future therapeutic use of the family at the birth of their child. The cells are preserved in liquid nitrogen at a temperature of -196C. The cells are thawed if they are ever needed for transplant for the treatment of disease. They regenerate the musculo-skeletal tissues of the body – bone, cartilage, ligaments and tendons, and muscle. Current research also has shown that these cells may be used to treat many other immune, inflammatory and degenerative diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, or liver conditions. In addition, there is a possibility that transplanting them together with umbilical blood stem cells may reconstitute a patient’s bone marrow.
Mesenchymal stem cells can also be harvested from bone marrow, and are being used for the treatment of many diseases, including heart disease, Crohn’s disease, and bone diseases. However, the extraction of the cells from bone marrow is a painful, invasive procedure, and the resulting supply of cells is limited. By comparison, the volume of Mesenchymal stem cells that can be extracted from the Wharton's Jelly inside the umbilical cord is much, much higher.
The possible benefits to the child and potentially other family members of preserving the MIRACHYMALSM stem cells in addition to the Hematopoietic stem cells may be considerable. Only Stem Cell Authority Ltd. can offer the preservation of these precious stem cells. Contact us today to find out how you can preserve your baby's stem MIRACHYMALSM and Hematpoietic stem cells!
