The invention relates to a method for producing a material for preparing a substrate for cultivating living cells. The invention further relates to a platelet lysate material and its use.The solution of the problem underlying the invention is based on the combination of at least two different treatments with different virus inactivation procedures.Combining two or more procedures for inactivation of virus particles and/or virus components ensures that a wide range of viruses (e.g. enveloped and non-enveloped viruses) are inactivated so as to provide a safe product for clinical and pharmaceutical applications. Moreover, a platelet lysate material comprising blood platelet lysate is provided, wherein the material is a liquid or dry material that is essentially devoid of vims particles and/or virus components.

Provided are methods for processing a blood related sample comprising: (a) providing a blood related sample comprising one or more target cells, platelet cells, red blood cells; and (b) reducing a number of the platelet cells in the blood related sample while maintaining a ratio of the red blood cells to the one or more target cells above a critical threshold to produce a reduced platelet blood related sample comprising the one or more target cells. Also described herein are cell compositions produced by applying the methods described herein.

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.

The present disclosure provides a composition comprising a bioactive fraction derived from a platelet concentrate, methods of making the bioactive fraction, and culture medium supplemented with the bioactive fraction. Preferred bioactive fractions have relatively low fibrinogen concentrations while retaining native growth factors in beneficial amounts and ratios.

This invention provides a cell population comprising mesenchymal cells capable of forming a cell sheet that can be spontaneously detached from a substrate. In such cell population comprising mesenchymal cells, the proportion of cells positive for CD324 is 70% or more and the proportion of mesenchymal cells positive for CD90 is 90% or more.

The present invention concerns a method for inducing differentiation of neuroectodermal oral stem cells, in particular from FCS osteogenic medium PL osteogenic medium gingival tissue (GSCs), into osteoblasts by culturing them in an optimal serum-free medium supplemented by necessary components such as platelet lysate, growth hormone, heparin, and/or growth factors. The invention method provides osteoblasts for cell therapy, particularly for the restoration of bone defects in maxillary bones.

Methods are described for using compositions containing platelet-rich plasma for the treatment of a variety of tissue lesions, and the use of compositions containing platelet-rich plasma to accelerate or complete the differentiation of a cell line. Particularly, use of platelet-rich plasma in conjunction with cell differentiation.

Cell therapy is getting a growing interest in a wide range of indications in human. In many cases, a substantial part of the therapeutic effects relies on cell-secreted factors and the extracellular vesicles (EV) are proposed as a cell-free surrogate for cell therapy. Currently, during the EV production phase, human cells are placed in serum-free media to produce EV, with limited cell survival. Here, the inventors describe a new procedure for GMP-compatible human cells-derived EV wherein Human Platelet Lysate (HPL) is produced from which the EV are removed by tangential-flow-filtration resulting in an EV-depleted HPL. Said EV-depleted HPL may be then uses as a culture medium for the production of EV by cells of interest.

The present disclosure provides a method for preparing a platelet lysate for use in the culture of cells collected from an individual. More specifically, the present disclosure provides a method for preparing a platelet lysate for use in the culture of cells collected from an individual, in which the method includes a step for freeze-thawing platelets collected from the individual or an equivalent of the platelets to produce a platelet lysate, and does not include a step for carrying out decomplementation. In some embodiments, the platelets or the equivalent thereof may be freeze-thawed one or several times.

Disclosed herein are non-naturally existing novel platelet variants or platelet like cells (PLCs), extracellular vesicles (EVs), and derivatives thereof. Composition comprising the same and methods for treatment or prevention of diseases or disorders therewith is also disclosed.
