Methods of preparing platelet-rich plasma (PRP) compositions are disclosed which include adding CD34+ cells to the PRP composition. In addition, the concentration of stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) in the PRP composition may be adjusted to a pre-determined value. The compositions may have elevated levels of white blood cells but reduced levels of neutrophils. Compositions produced by the method are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to methods for producing immuno-stimulatory autologous dendritic cells. The present invention further relates to the use of such cells for treating patients suffering from hyper-proliferative disease such as cancer.

The invention relates to immuno-modulatory progenitor (IMP) cells and their use in therapy.

The present invention relates to production of autologous genetically engineered T cells for use in cell therapy applications.

Platelet lysate compositions and cell culture media compositions for maintaining and/or growing mammalian cells, such as mammalian endothelial cells (ECs) and mammalian endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), in particular human ECs (huECs) and human EPCs (huEPCs), such as primary huECs and primary huEPCs, are provided. The cell culture media compositions contain a basal medium, a platelet lysate and, optionally, one or more exogenously added growth factors. Also provided are methods for making and using such cell culture media compositions to grow and/or maintain ECs and EPCs, including huECs and huEPCs, as well as cell culture vessels, dishes, plates, and/or flasks pretreated with the cell culture media compositions.

There was no method for producing a cell preparation which contains an amount of xenogenic component as small as possible and is highly safe in order to reduce the xenogenic rejection and the risk of transmission of a prion or a viral pathogen after trypsin was used for releasing and dispersing cells. Provided is a method for producing a cell preparation, comprising: a step of culturing a cell which adheres to a base material, a step of releasing the cell from the base material using trypsin, and a step of contacting a human platelet lysate (hPL) with both the trypsin and the cell after said releasing.

Platelet lysate compositions and cell culture media compositions for maintaining and/or growing mammalian cells, such as mammalian endothelial cells (ECs) and mammalian endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), in particular human ECs (huECs) and human EPCs (huEPCs), such as primary huECs and primary huEPCs, are provided. The cell culture media compositions contain a basal medium, a platelet lysate and, optionally, one or more exogenously added growth factors.

Energetics of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-containing cells can be enhanced by obtaining platelets from blood, obtaining mitlets from the platelets, and co-incubating the mitlets with the CAR-containing cells. Uptake of the mitlets into the CAR-containing cells yields enhanced CAR-containing cells having increased metabolic activity. The enhanced CAR-containing cells can be for treatment of an indication treatable by the CAR-containing cells. The mitlets can include coated mitochondria or vesicle-enclosed mitochondria.

The present disclosure discloses a method for isolating osteoprogenitors like mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from clotted bone marrow and culturing with a platelet lysate obtained from a combination of discarded umbilical cord blood and maternal blood platelet-rich plasma (instead of non-human animal origin serum) and differentiating those MSCs into osteoblasts under sterile conditions for further therapeutic applications. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to a method for expansion of osteoblasts to make cell therapy products with a fixed cell dose, which are characterized and later cryopreserved for future use through its cell culture process. Further, the present disclosure relates to identifying specific gene expression from MSCs to osteoblast formation, an in-vitro differentiation process that replicates the in-vivo bone remodelling system.
