The present disclosure relates to methods of using a compound to induce regeneration of hematopoietic stem cells or increase the recovery of red blood cells. In some aspects, the present methods can be used to with or in place of erythropoietin in patients to mitigate the side effects of erythropoietin.

Disclosed is an Andrias davidianus cartilage preparation. The Andrias davidianus cartilage enzymatic extract of the present invention is obtained by a method comprising: obtaining cartilage from Andrias davidianus, proteolyzing the obtained cartilage, obtaining a supernatant after the proteolysis, and drying the supernatant. The Andrias davidianus cartilage enzymatic extract and an alcohol-soluble component thereof according to the present invention comprise a cartilage polypeptide, and have the effects of lowering uric acid, or treating hyperuricemia.

The present invention relates to a method of treating a chemical injury of the eye, in particular alkali burn of the cornea, as well as ocular GVHD and similar inflammatory ocular conditions, with extracellular vesicles, in particular exosomes obtained from human cardiospheres or cardiosphere-derived cells. The present invention also provides a formulation comprising extracellular vesicles, in particular exosomes obtained from human cardiospheres or cardiosphere-derived cells, for subconjunctival or topical administration to the eye in the treatment of a chemical injury of the eye, in particular alkali burn of the cornea, as well as ocular GVHD and similar inflammatory ocular conditions.

The growth factor profile, connective tissue matrix constituents, and immunoprivileged status of urodele extracellular matrix (ECM) and accompanying cutaneous tissue, plus the presence of antimicrobial peptides there, render urodele-derived tissue an ideal source for biological scaffolds for xenotransplantation. In particular, a biological scaffold biomaterial can be obtained by a process that entails (A) obtaining a tissue sample from a urodele, where the tissue comprises ECM, inclusive of the basement membrane, and (B) subjecting the tissue sample to a decellularization process that maintains the structural and functional integrity of the extracellular matrix, by virtue of retaining its fibrous and on-fibrous proteins, glycoaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans, while removing sufficient cellular components of the sample to reduce or eliminate antigenicity and immunogenicity for xenograft purposes. The resultant urodele-derived biomaterial can be used to enhance restoration of skin homeostasis, to reduce the severity, durations and associated damage caused by post-surgical inflammation, and to promote progression of natural healing and regeneration processes. In addition, the biomaterial promotes the formation of remodeled tissue that is comparable in quality, function, and compliance to undamaged human tissue.
