Read the literature for yourself
A curated list of peer-reviewed studies and reviews on Wharton's jelly, umbilical cord tissue, and connective tissue applications. We believe informed patients make better decisions — so here are the sources, grouped by topic.
How to read this page. These links point to independent, third-party research. Listing a study is not a claim that any product is FDA-approved or that you will experience similar results. Some studies discuss cell-based therapies or stem cells that differ from the acellular connective tissue allografts Movera uses for cushioning and structural support (homologous use, FDA-registered, not FDA-approved). Use this as a starting point for your own reading, and discuss anything you find with a licensed provider.
