It has been concluded by numerous studies that umbilical cord tissue is the best source for stem cells. Wharton’s Jelly is an excellent source for stem cells because umbilical cord cell injections are derived from it. When it comes to Wharton’s Jelly, it offers the best clinical utility for the following reasons:
1. Stem cells derived from Wharton’s Jelly have less non-stem cell contaminants
2. They can be generated in large numbers with very minimal culture avoiding changes in the phenotype
3. Their derivation is fast and easy to standardize
4. They are rich in stemness characteristics
5. They have high differentiation potential
