The present invention provides a preparation method of a three-dimensional construct for regenerating a cardiac muscle tissue comprising; a step of forming a three-dimensional construct by printing and crosslinking the first bioprinting composition comprising a tissue engineering construct forming solution containing decellularized extracellular matrix and a crosslinking agent, and cardiac progenitor cells, and the second bioprinting composition comprising the tissue engineering construct forming solution, mesenchymal stem cells and a vascular endothelial growth factor, to arrange the first bioprint layer and the second bioprint layer alternately; and a step of obtaining a crosslink-gelated three-dimensional construct by thermally gelating the crosslinked three-dimensional construct, and a three-dimensional construct for regenerating a cardiac muscle tissue, and the preparation method according to the present invention not only equally positions the cardiac progenitor cells in the construct but also implements a vascular network composed of vascular cells in the construct, so that the viability of cells can be maintained for a long time and the cell transfer efficiency into the myocardium can be significantly improved.

The present invention discloses a method for expansion of natural killer (NK) cells or CAR-NK cells using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and culturing the cells in a medium comprising a feeder layer having a population of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with disrupted or deleted MHC class I gene and/or MHC class II gene and a heterologous gene for expressing Interleukin-21 (IL-21), and Interleukin-2 (IL-2). The present disclosure further provides a method and a model for evaluating natural killer (NK) cells or CAR-NK cells using tester line comprising induced Pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) comprising disrupted or deleted MHC class I gene and/or MHC class II gene and a heterologous gene encoding a tumor antigen.

A composition comprising a co-culture of: a) activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC); and b) stem or progenitor cells, is provided. The composition is useful for the regeneration of tissue in a subject in need thereof, and for forming of a tissue in vitro.

The disclosure relates to mitochondria-enhanced immune cells, their compositions and therapeutic use.

Methods of producing stem cell conditioned media to treat mammalian injuries or insults. In at least one embodiment of a method of producing a stem cell conditioned media of the present disclosure, the method comprises the steps of culturing at least one stem cell in a first cell culture medium, replacing some or all of the first cell culture medium with a second cell culture medium and further culturing the at least one stem cell in the second cell culture medium, and collecting a quantity of the second cell culture medium after a culture duration, wherein the quantity of the second cell culture medium contains a cell culture byproduct effective to treat a mammalian insult or injury.

Various embodiments of the invention provide methods of treating diabetes and other glucose regulation disorders. In one embodiment, the method comprises removing L-cells from a donor, obtaining stem cells from a patient, and culturing the L-cells in the presence of the stem cells under conditions such that the stem cells differentiate into stem cell-derived L-cells (SCDLC). An amount of the SCDLC is introduced into the patient sufficient to cause a lowering of the patient's blood glucose level after ingestion of food. In another embodiment, the method comprises removing K-cells from a donor, obtaining stem cells from a patient, and culturing the K-cells in the presence of the stem cells under conditions such that the stem cells differentiate into stem cell-derived K-cells (SCDKC). An amount of the SCDKC is introduced into the patient sufficient to cause a lowering of the patient's blood glucose level after ingestion of food.

The present invention relates to a culture support for cultivating hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and/or hematopoietic progenitors (HPs), comprising a calcium biomaterial, osteoclasts, endothelial cells and mesenchymatous stem cells (MSCs) and/or osteoblasts and/or adipocytes. The present invention also relates to a method for preparing such a culture support, and an in vitro HSC and/or HP cultivation method. The use of such a culture support for studying cellular mechanisms involved in hematopoiesis and/or differentiation of HSC/HPs and/or for studying the efficacy and/or the toxicity of a medicament candidate is also described.

The present invention provides a culture method for culturing, in recesses (10), a population including two or more cells including a cell derived from a stem cell and a mesenchymal cell. The cell derived from a stem cell is a cell obtained by differentiating a stem cell in vitro. The cell is a cell of one or more types selected from the group consisting of an endodermal cell, an ectodermal cell, and a mesodermal cell. The population is cultured in the recesses (10) together with a vascular cell or a secretor factor. Each recess (10) includes a space in which cells are movable. When a volume of the space is represented by V mm.sup.3 and the number of mesenchymal cells seeded in the space is represented by N, V is 400 or less and N/V is in a range from 35 to 3000.

Provided are transplants and methods for augmenting formation and restoration of organ and tissue, for example, bone formation, by administering autologous or allogeneic human embryonic-like adult stem cells (ELA cells). Also provided is a method for augmenting formation of tissues and organs by administering a transplant having ELA stem cells or combination of ELA stem cells.
