A method for vascular regeneration comprises delivering endothelial cells to a lung scaffold, delivering perivascular cells to the lung scaffold, and providing a multiphase culture program to the scaffold. The multiphase culture program comprises a first phase including delivering an angiogenic medium, e.g., having 40-100 ng/ml of pro-angiogenic factors, and a second phase including delivering a stabilization medium, e.g., having 0.5-2% of serum and 1-20 ng/ml of angiogenic factors.

A method for isolation, enrichment and co-culture of foetal polymix involving two or more components of mesenchymal stem cells derived from, but not limited to, placenta, amnion, amniotic fluid, chorion and umbilical cord and/or other products of conception under hypoxic or otherwise and/or normoxic/general conditions for treatment of a plurality of disorders ranging from congenital to degenerative to developmental to malignant disorders and diseases prior to therapeutic administration.

Human progenitor T cells that are able to successfully engraft a murine thymus and differentiate into mature human T and NK cells are described. The human progenitor T cells have the phenotype CD34+CD7+CD 1aCD5 or CD34+CD7+CD1aCD5+ and are derived from human hematopoietic stem cells, embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells by coculture with cells expressing a Notch receptor ligand (OP9-DL1 or OP9-DL4). Such cells are useful in a variety of applications including immune reconstitution, the treatment of immunodeficiencies and as carriers for genes used in gene therapy.

The present disclosure provides a method for producing lung mesenchymal cells that can be used as feeder cells in induction of alveolar epithelial cells. A method for producing lung mesenchymal cells of the present disclosure includes culturing mesodermal cells in a presence of a mesenchymal cell-inducing factor, KGF, and FGF10 so as to induce differentiation of the mesodermal cells into lung mesenchymal cells.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide spermatozoa having high motility. The present invention is a composition for treating sperm that comprises a mesenchymal stem cell culture supernatant. The composition for spermatozoa treatment of the present invention is used as a sperm preparing solution, a sperm diluting solution, a sperm storage solution, an artificial insemination solution, an in vitro fertilization solution, a solution for improving sperm motility, or a solution for retaining sperm fertilizing capabilities. Furthermore, mesenchymal stem cells in the mesenchymal stem cell culture supernatant comprised in the composition for treating sperm are preferably derived from adipose tissue, derived from umbilical cord tissue, or derived from bone marrow tissue.

The present disclosure provides ex vivo chamber-specific cardiac tissues, methods for generating the cardiac tissues in a bioreactor, and methods of using the cardiac tissues. Examples of cardiac tissues that can be generated include, but are not limited to, atrial tissues, ventricular tissues, and composite tissues having an atrial tissue connected to a ventricular tissue.

The present disclosure described herein provides, inter alia, a serum-free and xeno-free culture medium capable of supporting the prolonged expansion of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and a kit comprising the same. The present disclosure also provides a method for expanding mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) using the culture medium as disclosed as well as a substantially homogeneous population of MSCs produced by said method.

The present invention relates to: a composition for promoting angiogenesis, comprising extracellular vesicles derived from a three-dimensional spheroid-type cell aggregate that are produced using a novel production method; and a method for promoting angiogenesis. The extracellular vesicles produced by a novel method of the present invention highly express various factors capable of promoting angiogenesis and can induce the regeneration of blood vessels, and thus can be effectively used in the treatment of various diseases that require vascular regeneration.

Disclosed is a producing method of a mesenchymal stem cell for brain neuronal disease prevention or treatment including ghrelin treatment, a composition for producing a mesenchymal stem cell for brain neuronal disease prevention or treatment, a mesenchymal stem cell produced by the producing method, and a pharmaceutical composition for prevention or treatment of brain neuronal disease containing the same. When using the producing method of the mesenchymal stem cells with the increased AgRP (Agouti related peptide) expression level according to the present disclosure, the mesenchymal stem cells produced by the method, or ghrelin, various brain neuronal diseases such as Alzheimer's disease may be effectively prevented or treated. When the composition for producing the mesenchymal stem cells with the increased AgRP expression level containing ghrelin according to the present disclosure is used, the mesenchymal stem cells with the increased AgRP expression level may be effectively produced.

Methods of reducing T cell activation including co-culturing with T cells, term amniotic fluid mesenchymal stem cells (TAF-MSCs) isolated from term human amniotic fluid. Other aspects relate to methods of inhibiting macrophage polarization toward the M1 pro-inflammatory phenotype including co-culturing with macrophages TAF-MSCs isolated from term human amniotic fluid. Other aspects relate to methods of inhibiting cytokine secretion from activated Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell (PBMC) including co-culturing with the PBMC tissue-typed TAF-MSCs isolated from human amniotic fluid. Other aspects relate to methods of differentiating TAF-MSC including: obtaining TAF-MSC cells from term amniotic fluid, plating the TAF-MSC cells in limiting dilution to obtain expanded colonies from single cells, and transferring the cells to a differentiation media that contains one or more factor to differentiate the TAF-MSC cells.
