Wharton's Jelly

Name: Wharton's Jelly
SKU: WJ

Minimally processed UCT Wharton's Jelly whole-tissue preparation containing an intact extracellular matrix, matrix-bound growth factors, and trace resident cells — the most complete biological tissue preparation in the Akira Biotech portfolio. Processed by gentle rinsing, mechanical trimming, and cryopreservation without decellularization, culture, or expansion, so it is best understood as an acellular-dominant, matrix-driven biologic rather than a cell-therapy product.

Intact ECM scaffold

STRUCTURAL MATRIX

— Native collagen I/III/IV/VI, fibronectin, laminin, and hyaluronic acid architecture preserved intact for mechanical cushioning and host-cell infiltration.

Matrix-bound growth factors

SLOW-RELEASE DEPOT

— TGF-β, VEGF, FGF, and HGF retained within the ECM as a localized depot rather than delivered as a bolus.

Matrix-driven, not cell-therapy

MECHANISM CLASS

— Minimally manipulated whole tissue with low, variable resident-cell viability — a distinct product category from Akira's cultured, expanded MSC injections.

PRODUCT PROFILE

Minimally Processed Whole-Tissue Matrix

Gentle rinsing, mechanical trimming, and cryopreservation preserve the native Wharton's Jelly matrix without decellularization, culture, or expansion — delivering a structural scaffold and growth-factor depot distinct from Akira's cultured cell and exosome products.

Structural ECM scaffold

Collagens, fibronectin, laminin, and hyaluronic acid preserved intact for mechanical support and cell infiltration.

Growth factor depot

TGF-β, VEGF, FGF, and HGF physically retained within the matrix for localized, slow-release signaling.

Hydration & lubrication

Hyaluronic acid and proteoglycans (versican, aggrecan) support tissue hydration and joint lubrication.

Minimally manipulated

No decellularization, culture, or expansion — processed by rinsing, trimming, and cryopreservation only.
