Umbilical Cord MSCs, Coordinated Through Reju

Stem cell therapy uses mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that research suggests may support the body’s own repair and inflammation-balancing processes. Reju uses MSCs from umbilical cord tissue (Wharton’s jelly), as part of a personalized plan designed by a licensed physician. Care is coordinated through Reju partner clinics or in-home visits. In-home care is available across the continental U.S. when clinically appropriate. Hawaii and Alaska are considered case by case.

What Is Stem Cell Therapy?

Stem cells are cells that can renew themselves and, in some cases, develop into other cell types. Stem cell therapy (also called stem cell treatment) works with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), a type of adult stem cell found in tissues like bone marrow, fat and umbilical cord tissue.

Researchers now believe much of what makes MSCs interesting isn’t that they turn into new tissue, but the signals they release. MSCs send out proteins, growth factors and tiny messenger particles called exosomes that communicate with the cells around them.

Stem cell therapy delivers these cells so they may send those signals where they’re needed. It is still considered investigational, and results vary from person to person.

Our Cells: Umbilical Cord (Wharton's Jelly) MSCs

Why umbilical cord tissue

Reju uses MSCs from Wharton’s jelly, the soft tissue inside the umbilical cord. Because the cells come from donated umbilical cord tissue, no cells are taken from the patient, and researchers study Wharton’s jelly MSCs for their active signaling.

Every batch is tested

Every batch is tested before use for sterility, endotoxin, mycoplasma and genetic stability (genetic screening), and cell viability is checked after thaw, so patients know what their vials contain. Viability, the share of cells that are alive and intact, is typically 94–99% in our batches.

Your amount is individualized

There’s no one-size dose. The amount of cells is decided by your treating professional based on your condition, weight, any complications and other factors.

What Research Has Observed

Here’s what researchers have observed about MSCs so far, in plain language.

Anti-inflammatory signaling

In laboratory and early clinical research, MSCs have been observed to release signals associated with calming excess inflammation. Researchers are studying whether this may support the body where inflammation plays a role.

Immune balance

MSCs have been observed to interact with immune cells and help regulate how strongly they respond, which scientists call immunomodulation. This is one reason MSCs are being studied in autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.

Repair signaling

Rather than simply replacing tissue, MSCs are thought to work mainly by releasing growth factors and other signals that cells use to coordinate repair. Research suggests this may support the body’s own natural repair processes.

Releasing exosomes

MSCs release exosomes, tiny messenger particles that carry cytokines, growth factors and other cargo to nearby cells. Much of the signaling researchers attribute to MSCs appears to happen through these exosomes.

Stem Cells and Exosomes: How They Work Together

Stem cells are thought to release exosomes gradually, over time, once they’re in the body. Exosome therapy delivers a concentrated amount of exosomes from the start.

That’s why our medical team usually pairs the two: the stem cells are thought to keep signaling over time, while the exosomes add a concentrated amount of the same signals at the start. Your physician decides whether stem cells, exosomes or both fit your plan.

How Stem Cell Therapy Is Given

How stem cells are given depends on your goals and your treating doctor’s recommendation. Your plan may use one method or a combination. Stem cells may also be part of a broader immune-support plan alongside NK therapy.

Stem Cell IV Therapy

Stem cell IV therapy delivers cells through a vein so they circulate throughout the body. Most plans include at least one IV infusion.

Stem Cell Injections (Targeted)

With targeted stem cell injections, cells are delivered directly to a specific area, such as a joint, a spinal disc or soft tissue. When appropriate, physicians use imaging such as ultrasound or fluoroscopy to guide placement.

Intrathecal

Cells are delivered into the fluid around the spinal cord, usually with local anesthesia. Your doctor decides whether this route is appropriate for you.

Stem Cell Therapy FAQs

What is stem cell therapy?

Stem cell therapy is the delivery of stem cells, at Reju mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from umbilical cord tissue, which research suggests may support the body’s own repair and inflammation-balancing signals. It is considered investigational, and results vary.

How does stem cell therapy work?

Research suggests MSCs work mainly by releasing signals, including growth factors, cytokines and exosomes, that communicate with nearby cells. These signals have been observed to influence inflammation, immune activity and repair processes.

Where do the stem cells come from?

Reju’s stem cells are mesenchymal stem cells from Wharton’s jelly, the soft tissue inside the umbilical cord. Every batch is tested before use for sterility, endotoxin, mycoplasma and genetic stability, and viability is checked after thaw.

What are mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)?

Mesenchymal stem cells are adult stem cells found in tissues like bone marrow, fat and umbilical cord tissue. They are widely studied for their signaling, anti-inflammatory and immune-balancing properties.

Is stem cell therapy legal in the US?

Yes. Stem cell therapy is legal in the US, though the rules vary by jurisdiction. Being FDA-approved and being allowed are two different things: stem cell therapies for the conditions on this page are considered investigational, or experimental, and are not FDA-approved, but that doesn’t make them illegal. There are many regulations about which kinds of stem cells and processing are permitted, so it matters that a provider follows FDA guidelines in the US. At Reju, care follows applicable US regulations and is provided under licensed physicians. This is general information, not legal advice.

How is stem cell therapy given?

Stem cell therapy is given by IV infusion, targeted injection (into a joint, disc or soft tissue) or intrathecal delivery, depending on your treating doctor’s recommendation.

What is stem cell IV therapy?

Stem cell IV therapy delivers stem cells through a vein so they circulate throughout the body. Most Reju plans include at least one IV infusion, and your physician decides whether other routes are added.

How many stem cells will I receive?

The amount is individualized. Your treating professional decides it based on your condition, weight, any complications and other factors.

What's the difference between stem cells and exosomes?

Stem cells are living cells; exosomes are the messenger particles stem cells release. Stem cells are thought to release exosomes gradually over time, while exosome therapy delivers a concentrated amount at once, which is why the two are often paired.

Is stem cell therapy safe?

Stem cell therapy is still being studied, and long-term safety data are limited. Every Reju batch is tested before use for sterility, endotoxin, mycoplasma and genetic stability, with viability checked after thaw, and your physician will review possible risks with you and decide whether it’s appropriate for you.

How much does stem cell therapy cost?

Does insurance cover stem cell therapy?

Usually not. Because stem cell therapy is considered investigational, insurance generally doesn’t cover it. The good news: Reju offers financing for qualifying individuals, so ask about payment plans during your free consultation.

Where can I get stem cell therapy near me?

Reju coordinates stem cell therapy through partner clinics and in-home visits. In-home care is available across the continental U.S. when clinically appropriate. Hawaii and Alaska are considered case by case. Schedule a free consultation to discuss the appropriate care option.
