A formulation, or tissular adhesive, obtained from a platelet-rich blood composition and/or growth factors, and method for the preparation of this adhesive. The preparation method of the adhesive comprises the steps of raising the temperature of the initial blood composition and subsequently activating the composition. Among other advantages, the tissular adhesive is biocompatible and biodegradable, has desirable biological or medical properties provided by the presence of platelets or growth factors, and also has a high adhesiveness and an accelerated coagulation process.

Liquid embolic preparations and medical treatment methods of using those preparations are described. In some embodiments, the preparations or solutions can transition from a liquid to a solid for use in the embolization. The preparations can include biocompatible polymers with covalently bound radioactive iodine isotopes.

The present disclosure is directed to blood dotting compositions comprising platelet microparticles, method of using said compositions, and methods of preparing the same.

The present invention relates to new plasma or new platelet-rich plasma preparations, new cell dissociation methods, new cell associations or compositions, a method of preparation thereof, a use thereof, devices for the preparation thereof and preparations containing such a platelet-rich plasma preparation and cell associations or compositions. Specifically, the invention provides plasma or platelet-rich plasma alone or in cell composition preparations for use in tissue regeneration and bone regeneration and pain reduction.

A surgical sealant consisting of (1) a first agent comprising a gelatin derivative, wherein the gelatin derivative (a) has a weight average molecular weight of from 10,000 to 50,000; (b) has a hydrophobic group bonded thereto, the hydrophobic group being an alkyl group having 6 to 18 carbon atoms; (c) has a molar ratio of imino group/amino group of the gelatin derivative ranging from 1/99 to 30/70; and (d) comprises a structure represented by the following formula: GltnNHCHR.sup.1R.sup.2, wherein Gltn represents a gelatin residue, R.sup.1 is the hydrophobic group, and R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom or the hydrophobic group; and (2) a second agent comprising a crosslinking agent for the gelatin derivative.

A phenol derivative-modified, tissue-derived extracellular matrix derivative for construction of artificial tissues. A hydrogel composition and a hydrogel prepared therefrom exhibit various effects such as hemostasis, blood coagulation acceleration, cell transplantation, drug delivery, cell differentiation promotion, etc. and thus can be applied to single or composite uses. Furthermore, the present invention is excellent in biocompatibility due to its biodegradability and being almost free of cytotoxicity, thus exhibiting very high applicability. In addition, a tissue structure including a single type or multiple types of cells can be formed through the cell-proliferating potential and adhesion of the hydrogel and can better simulate in-vivo microenvironments.

Provided herein are compositions and methods for treating a subject with damaged tissue, such as an injury associated with a tissue to tissue (e.g., a connective tissue-to-connective tissue or tissue to bone) interface. One aspect provides an adhesive film or adhesive layer, optionally comprising a biomaterial, tissue growth factors, including CTGF/CCN2, or cells.

Liquid embolic preparations and medical treatment methods of using those preparations are described. In some embodiments, the preparations or solutions can transition from a liquid to a solid for use in the embolization. The preparations can include biocompatible polymers with covalently bound radioactive iodine isotopes.

An embolic material contains at least one type of polymer and a liposoluble contrast medium. A method for producing an embolic material includes extruding a raw material that is in a molten state into a solvent, and cooling the raw material so as to solidify the raw material. The raw material contains a polymer and a liposoluble contrast medium.

This disclosure relates to a composition that, in some embodiments, includes cryopreserved platelets; and a cryoprotectant, wherein the composition comprises less than 6% (v/v) of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). In some embodiments, the composition is substantially free of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
