The present disclosure relates to heterogeneous cell compositions derived from canine or feline uterine tissue and methods of producing and use thereof. In some aspects, the heterogeneous cell compositions comprise a mixture of mesenchymal progenitor cells and epithelial progenitor cells. In some aspects, the heterogeneous cell compositions are used as an autologous or allogeneic treatment for the treatment of diseases such as chronic kidney disease, atopic dermatitis, immune mediated arthritis, hepatitis, liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease, osteoarthritis, intravertebral disc disease, keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye), pancreatitis, fibrosis, sclerosis, amyloidosis, immune mediated polyarthritis or wounds in canines and felines.

Methods are disclosed for treating an acute respiratory distress syndrome, such as an acute respiratory distress syndrome associated with a viral infection, such as SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19) in a subject in need thereof. These methods include administering to the subject a pharmaceutical preparation comprising isolated matrix bound vesicles (MBV) derived from extracellular matrix.

Processing and use of fluids from the reproductive tract (biofluids) to improve the in vitro production of mammalian embryos comprising the following steps: a) fractionation and processing of biofluids through a sorting, purification, lyophilization and subsequent storage; b) a method of sperm capacitation in a culture medium supplemented with biofluids; c) in vitro fertilization in a medium enriched with biofluids and d) subsequent in vitro culture with development of the obtained embryos to any stage of preimplantational development in culture media supplemented with biofluids.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising of preparations of human embryonic stem (hES) cells and their derivatives and methods for their transplantation into the human body, wherein transplantation results in the clinical reversal of symptoms, cure, stabilization or arrest of degeneration of a wide variety of presently incurable and terminal medical conditions, diseases and disorders. The invention further relates to novel processes of preparing novel stem cell lines which are free of animal products, feeder cells, growth factors, leukaemia inhibitory factor, supplementary mineral combinations, amino acid supplements, vitamin supplements, fibroblast growth factor, membrane associated steel factor, soluble steel factor and conditioned media. This invention further relates to the isolation, culture, maintenance, expansion, differentiation, storage, and preservation of such stem cells.
