Stimulation using EA of LI-4, LI-11, GV-14 and GV-20 in humans, horses, and rodents results in mobilization of MSCs into systemic circulation. Methods are provided for increasing mesenchymal stem cells in the circulating blood of a mammal by contacting acupuncture points LI-4, LI-11, GV-14, and GV-20 of the mammal with a therapeutically effective amount of EA stimulation to mobilize MSCs into the circulating blood of the mammal. Methods for treating damaged tissue, specifically damaged tendons are also provided. Isolated mesenchymal stem cells made according to these methods, methods of isolated them, and stem cell banks that store them are also provided.

Polymeric reagents are provided comprising a moiety of atoms arranged in a specific order, wherein the moiety is positioned between a water-soluble polymer and a reactive group. The polymeric reagents are useful for, among other things, forming polymer-active agent conjugates. Related methods, compositions, preparations, and so forth are also provided.

A method of modulating hematopoietic stem cells and hematopoiesis includes administering to a subject in need thereof a 15-PGDH inhibitor.
