Our enhanced Placental Tissue 2.0™ processing method ensures families will have the flexibility to use their stored tissue now and for future treatment discoveries.”” — Ankur Gandhi, PhD, Vice President of Research & Development of AmericordNEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, February 22, 2022 /EINPresswire.com / -- Americord Registry®, a leader in the cord blood industry, announces the advancement of Placental Tissue 2.0™ processing - ensuring the potential for multiple treatment and therapeutic uses for the child, siblings, parents, or grandparents.

Placental Tissue 2.0™ is a unique proprietary processing method that uses a minimal manipulation method to isolate the amnion layer of the placental tissue to retain its inherent multipotent cells (epithelial and mesenchymal stem cells), growth factors, and cytokines. This process creates a versatile tissue and gives families the flexibility to use the stem cells for therapeutic applications and the tissue for wound and ocular applications.

“Placental tissue holds significant promise in the field of regenerative medicine for the development of potentially life-saving advanced therapeutics,” Ankur Gandhi, PhD, Vice President of Research & Development of Americord says.“Our enhanced Placental Tissue 2.0™ processing method ensures families will have the flexibility to use their stored tissue now and for future treatment discoveries.”

Amniotic epithelial and mesenchymal stem cells are currently being studied in clinical trials to treat autoimmune diseases, cancers, graft vs host disease, gynecological conditions, lung diseases, neurological disorders, orthopedic conditions, and more. In addition, the placenta tissue is being studied in a number of clinical trials as treatment options for corneal healing, dry eye, knee osteoarthritis, ulcers.

“At Americord, we are always staying up-to-date with the latest technology advancements and scientific research in the stem cell industry,” Martin Smithmyer, CEO of Americord Registry says.“With our in-house lab, our scientists are focused on creating a new generation of innovative products and processes that will provide real-world solutions to families facing challenging medical needs.”

Since 2008, Americord has aimed to improve and extend human life, leading the field with cutting edge and proprietary cell and tissue based therapeutics and services, including the cryopreservation of stem cells for newborns and their families for future therapeutic use.
