Abstract:
Provided herein is a placental product comprising an immunocompatible chorionic membrane. Such placental products can be cryopreserved and contain viable therapeutic cells after thawing. The placental product of the present invention is useful in treating a patient with a tissue injury (e.g. wound or burn) by applying the placental product to the injury. Similar application is useful with ligament and tendon repair and for engraftment procedures such as bone engraftment.

Abstract:
This invention provides disrupted cartilage products, methods of manufacturing disrupted cartilage products, and methods of treating a subject comprising administering a cartilage product. The cartilage products are manufactured by a method comprising disrupting a collagen matrix, e.g. to produce a flexible cartilage product. Optionally, the cartilage products comprise viable chondrocytes, bioactive factors such as chondrogenic factors, and a collagen type II matrix. Optionally, the cartilage products are non-immunogenic.
Abstract:
This invention provides porated cartilage products and methods of producing porated cartilage products. Optionally, the cartilage products are sized, porated, and digested to provide a flexible cartilage product. Optionally, the cartilage products comprise viable chondrocytes, bioactive factors such as chondrogenic factors, and a collagen type II matrix. Optionally, the cartilage products are non-immunogenic.
Abstract:
This invention provides a fluid therapeutic placental product comprising placental cells and a placental dispersion comprising placental factors. The placental cells and the placental dispersion are derived from placental tissue. A placental tissue can optionally be an amnion, chorion, or a trophoblast-depleted chorion. The placental product of the present invention is useful in treating a patient with a tissue injury (e.g. wound or burn) by applying the placental product to the injury. Similar application is useful with ligament and tendon repair and for engraftment procedures such as bone engraftment.

Abstract:
Provided herein is a bone repair composition that is composed of periosteum containing an angiogenic growth factor(s), cancellous bone chips containing viable osteogenic cells, and, optionally, demineralized bone matrix (DBM) chips. Also provided herein are articles of manufacture and methods of use thereof to treat bone defects.
Abstract:
Disclosed are compositions comprising a meniscal tissue. For example, disclosed are compositions comprising a meniscal tissue, wherein the meniscal tissue comprises one or more engineered channels. Disclosed are compositions comprising a meniscal tissue comprising viable cells native to the meniscal tissue and devitalized blood vessels. Disclosed are compositions comprising a previously cryopreserved meniscal tissue, wherein after cryopreservation and subsequent thawing the meniscal tissue comprises a) cells native to the meniscal tissue and greater than 30% of the cells are viable, b) extracellular matrix that is native to the meniscal tissue, c) one or more growth factors that are native to the meniscal tissue, and d) depleted amounts of one or more types of functional immunogenic cells. Also disclosed are methods of producing and using these compositions comprising meniscal tissue.
