Wharton’s Jelly Malaysia – Stem Cell Clinical Research Volunteer Information

Wharton’s Jelly Malaysia research studies how stem cells from umbilical cord tissue may help people with knee osteoarthritis and joint pain. These studies look at whether this treatment is safe and whether it can reduce pain and improve movement.

Research in Malaysia is led by Assoc. Prof Dato’ Dr Badrul Akmal Hisham Bin Md Yusoff, orthopaedic sports surgeon specialising in stem cell therapy, ACL reconstruction and joint preservation and the Managing Director of KL Orthosports.
