The umbilical cords utilized by our affiliated cell expansion partners are certified ethically sourced umbilical cords obtained from consenting adult birth mothers who are between the ages of 18 and 25 and who have been monitored closely during their pregnancy and have undergone extensive testing.  Both birth parents of the umbilical cord donor have had their medical history properly evaluated, verified, and vetted to ensure no medical history of cancer, Alzheimer’s, other neurological diseases, autism spectrum disorder nor any associated risk factors. All children from whom the umbilical cord was obtained were successfully delivered during full-term cesarian section birth in a certified hospital. The Wharton’s Jelly-derived umbilical cord-derived Mesenchymal stem cells utilized by Trinity Stem Cells are early passage multipotent progenitor cells derived from human umbilical cord Wharton’s Jelly that is capable of supporting hematopoiesis and differentiating into multiple lineages (osteogenic, adipogenic, chondrogenic, neurogenic, myogenic, and cardiomyogenic.)

MSCs lack the co-stimulatory molecules of the B7 family that is required to initiate an immune response. This allows the administration of MSC preparations across MHC barriers without concern for immunological rejection or the need for immunosuppression, making Wharton’s Jelly umbilical derived Mesenchymal stem cells a universal stem cells source.
