The present invention relates to a method for freezing and preserving a composition comprising a population of neonatal stromal cells (NSCs) and a cryoprotector, characterised in that it comprises a step of freezing the composition at a temperature of between −70° C. and −140° C., then a step of preserving the composition at between −10° C. and −40° C. The present invention also relates to a composition comprising a population of NSCs and a cryoprotector, characterised in that it is preserved at between −10° C. and −40° C., said NSCs being in particular placental NSCs.

Provided herein is a placental product comprising an immunocompatible chorionic membrane. Such placental products can be cryopreserved and contain viable therapeutic cells after thawing. The placental product of the present invention is useful in treating a patient with a tissue injury (e.g. wound or burn) by applying the placental product to the injury. Similar application is useful with ligament and tendon repair and for engraftment procedures such as bone engraftment.

Compositions are provided that contain biologically active components of amniotic fluid including growth factors and other proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and metabolites. The compositions containing biologically active components of amniotic fluid can be useful for a range of therapeutic treatments including joint and soft tissue repair, regulation of skin condition, and for use in organ preservation, such as for use in organ transplant procedures. Advantages of the compositions include that they can be reproducibly produced, without the inherent variability of amniotic fluid from individual donors, and that they are free of fetal waste.
