The mitochondrion produce a substance called adenosine triphosphate. It is also known as ATP. It is believed to be our source of energy. ATP's main purpose is to transport chemical energy within cells for metabolism[2]. Metabolism is the sum of the physical and chemical changes that take place in living organisms.
Stem cell harvest. Stem cells used to be harvested from the bone marrow. That has now largely been abandoned in favour of harveting directly from the peripheral blood.
Not ViaCord. We extract cord tissue stem cells prior to storage so they are treatment-ready. Upon arrival at the ViaCord Processing Laboratory, which is AABB accredited for cord tissue (somatic cells) processing, the umbilical cord tissue is immediately processed using a scientifically proven method of extraction. Once extracted, the stem cells are cryopreserved making them ready for use.
