Provided herein are methods and systems for bio-printing of three-dimensional organs and organoids. Also provided herein are bio-printed three-dimensional organs and organoids for use in the generation and/or the assessment of immunological products and/or immune responses. Also provided herein are methods and system for bio-printing three-dimensional matrices.

A method of culturing an allogeneic immune cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure efficiently amplifies and activates natural killer cells (NK cells), which are effective in treating malignant tumors, by culturing lymphocytes derived from the blood of healthy donors rather than patients to whom an immune cell therapeutic agent is to be administered.

This disclosure describes efficient methods for separating desired populations of cells, including Multilineage-Differentiating Stress-Enduring (MUSE) cells. Also described are the methods for isolating and enriching MUSE cells through a sorting, expanding, and re-sorting procedure. The enriched cells or cell populations can be used for treating cancer, repairing various tissues, and treating various degenerative or inherited diseases.

Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for generating immunotherapeutic cells (e.g., NK and T cells) with enhanced cytotoxicity and capacity for expansion thereof. The methods and compositions disclosed herein can further be used for enhanced expansion of CAR-modified NK and T cells with increased cytotoxicity.

This invention describes a novel CRISPR/Cas9 target identification platform permitting the discovery of novel genes and pathways involved in the ability of T cells and NK cells to react against and generate an anti-tumor response.

Methods of reducing T cell activation including co-culturing with T cells, term amniotic fluid mesenchymal stem cells (TAF-MSCs) isolated from term human amniotic fluid. Other aspects relate to methods of inhibiting macrophage polarization toward the M1 pro-inflammatory phenotype including co-culturing with macrophages TAF-MSCs isolated from term human amniotic fluid. Other aspects relate to methods of inhibiting cytokine secretion from activated Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell (PBMC) including co-culturing with the PBMC tissue-typed TAF-MSCs isolated from human amniotic fluid. Other aspects relate to methods of differentiating TAF-MSC including: obtaining TAF-MSC cells from term amniotic fluid, plating the TAF-MSC cells in limiting dilution to obtain expanded colonies from single cells, and transferring the cells to a differentiation media that contains one or more factor to differentiate the TAF-MSC cells.

Provided herein are methods for manufacturing T cells. In certain embodiments, methods for manufacturing T cells which express a novel group of cell surface receptors that recognize peptides on the surface of a target cell are provided. Also provided herein are populations of T cells produced by methods described herein and pharmaceutical compositions thereof.

Methods of treating diseases selected from the group consisting of an autoimmune disease, a neurodegenerative disease, triple negative breast cancer, head and neck cancer and an infectious disease are disclosed. The method comprises administering agents that bind to CD45.

The present invention relates to a topical pharmaceutical preparation for treating an inflammatory skin condition, preferably a condition associated with ischemia, comprising a supernatant of a physiological solution obtainable by cultivating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or a subset thereof in a physiological solution free of PBMC-proliferating and PBMC-activating substances for at least 1 h.

The present invention relates to a method for producing natural killer cells using T cells, and more particularly, to a method for producing natural killer cells, which comprises culturing seed cells using CD4(+) T cells as feeder cells. The method for producing natural killer cells using T cells according to the present invention is a method capable of producing natural killer cells by selectively proliferating only natural killer cells from a small amount of seed cells while maintaining the high killing activity of the natural killer cells. The method of the present invention can produce a large amount of natural killer cells that can be frozen, and thus is useful for commercialization of cell therapeutic agents.
