A composition for use in the treatment of osteoarthritis in a subject includes an adipose-derived stem cell and an effective amount of a biologically active agent. The composition also includes a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. The biologically activate agent is a BMP-6 polypeptide or a functional fragment thereof. The treatment includes exposing the ADS cell to an effective amount of said biologically active agent. The effective amount of the biologically active agent is sufficient to induce the adipose-derived stem cell to differentiate into a cell capable of treating the osteoarthritis in the subject upon administration of the composition to the subject.

Cells are employed in conjunction with unique biologically-compatible scaffold structures to generate differentiated tissues and structures, both in vitro and in vivo. The presently disclosed subject matter further relates to methods of forming and using improved tissue engineered scaffolds that can be used as substrates to facilitate the growth and differentiation of cells.

The present invention relates to a culture medium for isolating and culturing urine-derived stem cells, a method for isolating and culturing urine-derived stem cells using the culture medium, urine-derived stem cells cultured in the culture medium, and a cell therapy product composition containing same.

The present invention discloses an in-vitro culture, induction, activation and cryopreservation method and cell bank establishment for immune cells. The method includes the follows: using a dedicated amplification medium of immune cells to perform first-stage amplification culture on mononuclear cells to obtain preliminarily amplified immune cells; using a dedicated induction medium of immune cells to perform second-stage induction and amplification culture on the preliminarily amplified immune cells to obtain induced immune cells; using a dedicated activation medium of immune cells to perform third-stage activation and amplification culture on the induced immune cells to obtain a large number of immune cells with activation functions; using a dedicated cryopreserving fluid of immune cells to cryopreserve the immune cells to obtain cryopreserved immune cells; and performing preservation according to ABO/RH typing and HLA typing; and establishing an information file of immune cells for retrieval to construct an immune cell bank.
