Cell-free compositions for promoting restoration of tissue function or enhancement of tissue function and methods of stimulating or promoting restoration or enhancement of tissue function using the cell-free compositions. The compositions herein help stimulate endogenous pathways via a subject's own cells effectively for improving tissue function, enhancing tissue function, enhancing cell proliferation, etc. The compositions comprise one or a plurality of therapeutic components such as growth factors, extracellular matrix, DNA, RNA, hormones, drugs, cell surface receptors, enzymes, cytokines, angiogenesis modulating factors, etc., e.g., any material that can effectively activation endogenous pathways in the subject's own cell to a desired effect. The cell-free composition comprises a carrier or is attached to or integrated into and/or within a carrier. The carrier may help provide for containment of the therapeutic components and/or provide for time-release of the therapeutic components of the cell-free composition.

A pure platelet-rich plasma (P-PRP) composition as an alternative to conventional antibiotic treatment of subclinical mastitis caused by Gram-positive bacteria in bovine including five live platelets and leukocytes, an anticoagulant, and an activating substance.

The methods and compositions described herein improve cardiovascular outcomes using measures related to systemic chronic inflammation (the inflammatory age—iAge, the cardiovascular age—cAge, and levels of certain markers) to stratify patients into low risk and high risk groups. The personalized immune proteome signature creates an individualized initial therapy to reduce cAge and to convert high risk patients into low risk patients. High risk patients can be converted to low risk patients by treating the patients to reduce their cAge, iAge and/or improve their CRS.

Cells derived from postpartum tissue and methods for their isolation and induction to differentiate to cells of a chondrogenic or osteogenic phenotype are provided by the invention. The invention further provides cultures and compositions of the postpartum-derived cells and products related thereto. The postpartum-derived cells of the invention and products related thereto have a plethora of uses, including but not limited to research, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications, for example, in the treatment of bone and cartilage conditions.

Provided is a cell therapeutic agent for treating an inflammatory disease induced by a hyperimmune response, more specifically, a composition for treating an inflammatory disease induced by a hyperimmune response, which comprises (i) a chondrocyte or a cell capable of differentiating into a chondrocyte; and (ii) a cell into which a gene encoding TGF-β is introduced, wherein the cell in (ii) is derived from human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK-293) cell.

Provided herein is a placental product comprising an immunocompatible amniotic 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.

Provided herein is a bone repair composition that is composed of periosteum containing an angiogenic growth factor(s), cancellous bone chips containing viable osteogenic cells, and, optionally, demineralized bone matrix (DBM) chips. Also provided herein are articles of manufacture and methods of use thereof to treat bone defects.

The present invention is directed to compositions containing exosomes isolated from milk and methods and uses thereof for treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and conditions related thereto. In particular, disclosed are exosomes derived from milk and enteral formulations supplemented therewith for use in treating IBD. The compositions are preferably formulated for rectal administration and the exosomes comprise one or more miRNA molecules and TGF-β.
