Wharton's Jelly is a gel-like connective tissue found in the umbilical cord. It contains collagen types I, III, and V, hyaluronic acid, and chondroitin sulfate. This jelly surrounds the arteries and vein within the umbilical cord, providing protection and cushioning against mechanical stress.

Its primary role is to safeguard the umbilical vein and arteries. Interestingly, due to its properties, Wharton's jelly has become valuable in medical applications. It has been used to replace damaged tissues that require cushioning and protection.

When applied to defects in the articular cartilage scaffold, Wharton's jelly has shown promising results in alleviating symptoms associated with arthritis. These treatments are non-invasive and non-surgical, making them suitable for muscle, ligament, and cartilage injuries.
