Biomaterial for articular cartilage maintenance and treatment of arthritis

The present disclosure provides biomaterials and methods for preventing and minimizing progression of cartilage and/or connective tissue damage. Also provided herein are biomaterials and methods for alleviating and/or reducing the risk for developing arthritis (e.g., osteoarthritis) associated with joint injury and/or joint surgery.

Methods and devices for high throughput purification

Described herein are devices and methods for high throughput purification of particles. In some cases, methods and devices described herein can be used to remove erythrocytes and purify leukocytes and raise the quality of umbilical cord blood and other transplant grafts, thereby significantly improving patient outcomes.

Autoimmune mechanical immunomodulation
11484637 · 2022-11-01 · ·

The present disclosure describes a novel therapeutic apheresis system and, more specifically, methods and an apparatus for performing therapeutic apheresis. The present disclosure provides highly efficient methods for therapeutic apheresis that modulate the immune system, thereby resulting in treatment of one or more underlying immunological disease processes. In some embodiments, the disclosed methods return at least a portion of blood from an extracorporeal circuit to a patient in pulsatile flow, where the portion of blood that is returned is augmented. In other embodiments, the disclosed methods and apparatus use the central arterial system to exchange volumes of plasma to immunomodulate disease processes.

BCL11B Overexpression to Enhance Human Thymopoiesis and T Cell Function

Methods of treating a subject using a T cell therapy are disclosed herein. The methods include increasing BCL11B expression in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), pluripotent stem cells, or mature T cells to form modified cells and administering a therapeutically effective amount of the modified cells to the subject for the T cell therapy. BCL11B expression in the HSPCs, pluripotent stem cells, or mature T cells increases production and/or proliferation of T cells from the HSPCs and/or the pluripotent stem cells, and/or increases proliferation of the T cells.
