Stem cells reside in adult bone marrow, fat, other tissues and organs of the body including the umbilical cord. These cells have a natural ability to repair damaged tissue. Adult stem cells can be extracted from most tissues in the body, including the bone marrow, fat, and peripheral After the cells have been harvested, they are sent to the lab where they are purified and assessed for quality before being reintroduced back in the patient. CRMC offers the use of both Mesenchymal and Adipose stem cells.

Human Umbilical Cord Tissue Mesenchymal Stem Cells (HUCT-MSC) Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells reside in the *umbilical cords of newborn babies. HUCT-MSC stem cells, like all post-natal cells, are “adult” stem cells.

CRMC Wellness uses cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells that are separated from the umbilical cord tissue. For certain indications, these cells are expanded into greater numbers in US laboratories under very strict, internationally recognized guidelines.

Mesenchymal stem cells from the umbilical cord tissue are known to help reduce inflammation, modulate the immune system and secrete factors that may help various tissues throughout the body to regenerate. The body’s immune system does not reject these stem cells yet uses them in every case to maximize the health benefits. Human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that were isolated and grown to create master cell banks are currently being used in the United States. These stem cells are very beneficial but NOT FDA approved.

Adipose Stem Cells
Adipose stem cells are also known as fat stem cells. These stem cells are essentially isolated and are not available to the rest of the body for repair or immune modulation. Studies suggest fat-derived stem cells not only can develop into new tissues but also suppress pathological immune responses as seen in autoimmune diseases.
