Umbilical cord blood is blood that is rich in stem cells, and it remains in the placenta and the attached umbilical cord after birth. The umbilical cord is an important organ that connects the growing baby to the placenta in the womb. It comprises one vein that carries the oxygenated blood to the baby and two arteries that carry away the deoxygenated blood and waste material.

 

Cord blood stem cells contain red and white blood cells, along with platelets and plasma. It comprises hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic stem cells that can regenerate all the cells found in the body and also cells in the immune system.

It contains mesenchymal stem cells and tiny embryonic-like stem cells, which can mature into different types of tissue cells, like nerve tissues, sensory organs, cartilage, skin, and bone.

What is Cord Tissue?

The umbilical cord is of utmost importance as it comprises veins and arteries that supply the oxygen and nutrients to support the healthy development of the fetus. Now, to protect the veins and arteries from getting compressed and affected, the cord is surrounded with Wharton's Jelly.

The Wharton's Jelly contains cord tissue, which contains blood vessels with a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). This surrounding tissue comprises other types of cells, like epithelial and endothelial stem cells.
