PROCESS FOR KIDNEY CELL MANUFACTURE AND TREATMENT
Embodiments described herein relate to a method for preparing cultured cells, the method comprising: obtaining kidney tissue from a human subject; mechanically dissociating the tissue; subjecting the tissue to enzymatic digestion; incubating the tissue with media in a cell culture plate to form cultured cells.
USE OF MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS AND COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THEM IN THE MANUFACTURE OF A MEDICAMENT FOR TREATING HARD-TO-HEAL BURN WOUNDS
The invention provides the use of mesenchymal stem cells for preparing drugs/medicines for the treatment of non-healing burn wounds. The inventor found that the mesenchymal stem cells of the present application are used to treat burn wounds and have significant curative effects. They can effectively promote the repair of hard-to-heal burn wounds, increase the healing rate of hard-to-heal burn wounds, and shorten wound healing time, with non-toxic side effects, easy absorption and other advantages. Therefore, the mesenchymal stem cells and the composition containing them can be used to prepare drugs/medicines for treating non-healing burn wounds.
ASSESSING RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIAL CELL POPULATIONS
A method of qualifying whether a cell population is a suitable therapeutic for treating an eye condition is disclosed. The method comprises analyzing co-expression of premelanosome protein (PMEL17) and at least one polypeptide selected from the group consisting of cellular retinaldehyde binding protein (CRALBP), lecithin retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) and sex determining region Y-box 9 (SOX 9) in the population of cells.
METHODS FOR DIFFERENTIATING STEM CELLS INTO DOPAMINERGIC PROGENITOR CELLS
The present invention relates to methods for differentiating stem cells into ventral midbrain dopaminergic progenitor cells, and into mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons, and compositions, kits, and uses thereof.
PERMEATION OF WHOLE VERTEBRAL BODIES WITH A CRYOPROTECTANT USING VACUUM ASSISTED DIFFUSION
The present disclosure relates to, at least, a vacuum-assisted method for infiltrating cadaver bone with a cryoprotectant and a method for rapidly warming the cryopreserved cadaver bone for bone marrow processing.
PREPARATION OF ADIPOSE TISSUE-DERIVED CELL POPULATION
A method for preparing a stromal vascular fraction from an adipose tissue, including a step of treating an adipose tissue with an enzyme solution containing a collagenase and a neutral protease, preferably an enzyme solution free of clostripain and thermolysin, and showing not less than 1 U neutral protease activity with respect to 10,000 U collagenase activity, and recovering cells is provided by the present invention.
CELL CONSTRUCT COMPRISING SCHWANN CELLS OR SCHWANN CELL-LIKE CELLS AND A BIOCOMPATIBLE MATRIX
A method for producing a cell construct including, contacting Schwann cells or Schwann cell-like cells with a biocompatible matrix, and subjecting to cultivation, where the cultivation is at least partially performed by administering mechanical stimulation on the cells in contact with the biocompatible matrix. A cell construct obtained by the method.
UMBILICAL CORD DERIVED REGENERATIVE AND IMMUNE MODULATORY STEM CELL POPULATIONS
The present invention provides universal donor cellular populations derived from umbilical cords possessing ability to elicit immune modulation and evoke regeneration when administered into a mammalian host. Generation of cellular products for clinical use are provided including methodologies of expansion, characterization, and means of therapeutic implementation.
METHOD OF GENERATION OF LYMPHO-MYELOID NICHES
The present invention relates to novel method of generating “Lympho-Myeloid Niches (LMN)” from peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC). The present invention relates to a method of generating macrophages, myeloid cells and T cell from Lympho-Myeloid Niches (LMN). The present invention also describes its application for developing novel cell based therapies, gene therapies, gene edited therapies for the treatment of various disease conditions using the Lympho-Myeloid Niches (LMN), and/or the cells generated from Lympho-Myeloid Niches (LMN) or their culture.
Methods and systems for conserving highly expanded cells
The methods described herein are for conserving highly expanded cells that have functional properties such as potential for use in neotissue constructs. For example, highly expanded chondrocytes that can be used to construct neocartilage exhibiting functional properties similar to native articular cartilage. The methods and systems feature processes that form functional, human cartilage using cells that have been expanded to at least 1.5×10.sup.5 times or P3 or greater. This enables a large quantity of engineered cartilage implants to be produced from few cells.
