Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells have shown therapeutic effects in chronic degenerative diseases due to their ability to modulate immune responses and promote tissue repair. Here are some of their pathways to healing:

• Regeneration: These stem cells can differentiate into various cell types, such as bone, cartilage, muscle, and nerve cells, offering potential to replace damaged tissues.
• Anti-inflammatory Effects: They release bioactive molecules that reduce inflammation, a common contributor to degenerative diseases.
• Immunomodulation: Umbilical cord stem cells help regulate the immune system, preventing it from attacking healthy tissues and creating a favorable environment for healing.
• Localized repair and recovery: these cells have the ability to regain function by migrating to injured or diseased areas in the body, enhancing localized repair.
