The present disclosure relates to a catechol group- or pyrogallol group-functionalized biocompatible polymer hydrogel patch having excellent biocompatibility and tissue adhesion, and uses for drug delivery, cell transplantation and tissue regeneration using the same. The biocompatible polymer hydrogel patch functionalized with the catechol group or pyrogallol group of the present disclosure has remarkably excellent mechanical properties and tissue adhesion compared with a solution-based bulk hydrogel. Therefore, it can load cells and a drug in vivo for a long time and also safely and efficiently deliver the cells and the drug to a target site.

This invention relates to the methods of preparation of a growth factor concentrate derived from platelet lysate and modified to be devoid of fibrinogen. Moreover, the present invention concerns therapeutic applications of said growth factor concentrate to enhance mitogenic, osteogenic, chondrogenic and angiogenic abilities. The disclosed preparation can be used immediately, or stored frozen until use, or lyophilized, or mixed with pharmaceutical formulation, such as biodegradable polymer or other delivery vehicles, to make products.

The invention relates to inhalable imatinib formulations, manufacture, and uses thereof.

The present disclosure generally relates to the field of infertility, and in particular male infertility. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides for compositions and methods for managing male infertility, caused by azoospermia. More particularly, the present disclosure provides a therapeutic composition comprising a platelet rich plasma (PRP) or a growth factor concentrate derived therefrom and a thermoresponsive polymer. The present disclosure also relates to the compositions of PRP and the concentrate themselves. Consequently, methods to obtain the said compositions, along with therapeutic applications for treatment of azoospermia are also provided.

The present disclosure provides for compositions and methods for managing female infertility, caused by diminished ovarian reserve. More particularly, the present disclosure provides a platelet rich plasma (PRP) having one or more of significantly higher platelet count and significantly low RBC and WBC count as compared to the starting blood, and a method to arrive at the same. Consequently, a growth factor concentrate derived from the PRP and a method to arrive at the same are provided. Further provided, along with therapeutic applications for treatment of infertility caused by diminished ovarian reserve are also provided.

The invention relates to inhalable imatinib formulations, manufacture, and uses thereof.

Cell cultures for treating peripheral arterial disease, methods for producing the cell cultures and methods for treating peripheral arterial disease using the cell cultures are provided. The cell cultures may be 100 to 500 μm in size and may possess an extracellular matrix on an outer surface of the cell culture, and the like are provided.

A method for promoting growth of bone, periodontium, ligament, or cartilage in a mammal by applying to the bone, periodontium, ligament, or cartilage a composition comprising platelet-derived growth factor at a concentration in the range of about 0.1 mg/mL to about 1.0 mg/mL in a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid carrier and a pharmaceutically-acceptable solid carrier.

A method for promoting growth of bone, periodontium, ligament, or cartilage in a mammal by applying to the bone, periodontium, ligament, or cartilage a composition comprising platelet-derived growth factor at a concentration in the range of about 0.1 mg/mL to about 1.0 mg/mL in a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid carrier and a pharmaceutically-acceptable solid carrier.

The invention relates to nebulized imatinib formulations, manufacture, and uses thereof.
