Fibroblasts from Wharton’s Jelly of the Umbilical Cord

Fibroblasts from Wharton's Jelly of the Umbilical Cord

Fibroblasts are connective tissue cells responsible for the synthesis of collagen, elastin and other components of the extracellular matrix. They play a key role in wound healing, maintaining the structural integrity of tissues, and regeneration.

What is Wharton's Jelly?

Wharton’s jelly is a gel-like connective tissue that surrounds the vessels within the umbilical cord. It is rich in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and fibroblasts, which have a high regenerative potential.

Characteristics of fibroblasts from the umbilical cord:

  • high proliferative activity – they multiply rapidly and contribute to tissue regeneration;
  • stimulation of regeneration – they are involved in wound healing, restoration of damaged tissues;
  • synthesis of matrix proteins – they produce collagen, hyaluronic acid and other components that strengthen skin, cartilage and blood vessels;
  • immunomodulatory properties – they may reduce inflammation and promote healing;
  • low immunogenicity – they do not trigger the immune response, thus avoiding the risk of rejection. 

Wharton’s jelly-derived fibroblasts are used in the following areas of medicine:

regenerative medicine – to repair skin, muscles, joints and bones; 

  • dermatology and cosmetology – treatment of scars, skin rejuvenation, and combating age-related changes
  • orthopedics – to regenerate cartilage tissue in patients with arthrosis and osteoarthritis;
  • cardiology – to help rebuild the heart muscle after a heart attack;
  • hepatology – to support the regeneration of liver tissue;
  • wound care – to improve the healing of chronic ulcers, burns and other injuries.

Wharton’s jelly-derived fibroblasts are successfully used to treat various disorders and improve the quality of life of patients, allowing for sustainable therapeutic results.

FAQ

General questions

Fibroblasts are connective tissue cells responsible for producing collagen, elastin, and other components of the extracellular matrix. They play a key role in tissue strength, wound healing, and regeneration throughout the body.

Wharton’s jelly is a gel-like connective tissue that surrounds the blood vessels in the umbilical cord. It is rich in regenerative cells, including mesenchymal stem cells and fibroblasts with high therapeutic potential.

Fibroblasts derived from Wharton’s jelly are characterized by high proliferative activity, strong regenerative capacity, low immunogenicity, and the ability to actively synthesize extracellular matrix components such as collagen and hyaluronic acid.

These fibroblasts support regeneration by accelerating wound healing, restoring damaged tissues, reducing inflammation, and strengthening tissue structure through the production of matrix proteins.

No. Wharton’s jelly–derived fibroblasts have low immunogenicity, meaning they do not typically trigger immune reactions. This reduces the risk of rejection and makes them suitable for regenerative therapies.

Wharton’s jelly fibroblasts are used in regenerative medicine, dermatology and cosmetology, orthopedics, cardiology, hepatology, and wound care to support tissue repair and functional recovery.

In dermatology and cosmetology, these fibroblasts are used for skin rejuvenation, scar treatment, and correction of age-related changes by stimulating collagen production and improving skin structure and elasticity.

Yes. In orthopedics, Wharton’s jelly fibroblasts are used to support cartilage regeneration and joint repair in conditions such as arthrosis and osteoarthritis by improving tissue structure and reducing inflammation.

These fibroblasts may support regeneration of internal organs such as the heart and liver by improving tissue repair, reducing inflammatory damage, and enhancing the structural integrity of affected tissues.

Wharton’s jelly fibroblasts are considered promising due to their high regenerative activity, safety profile, wide range of clinical applications, and ability to provide long-lasting therapeutic effects without provoking immune rejection.
