Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a composition for immune response inhibition in transplantation. SOLUTION: The method is one method to induce so as to reduce an immune response in a recipient by treating the recipient with a quantity of a fibroblast or a supernatant from a fibroblast culture substance effective to reduce or inhibit host rejection of a transplant. The fibroblast or the supernatant from the fibroblast culture substance is administered before, at the same time as, or after the transplantation. The method is effective in reducing the immune response to the transplant without compromising the immune response to other external antigen. Furthermore, a method to induce reducing the immune response against a host by external tissue, that is, graft versus host disease is disclosed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process and composition for maintaining a human hematopoietic stem cell to reduce or eliminate differentiation of a human mesenchymal stem cell into a committed lineage. SOLUTION: The process is provided for maintaining the human hematopoietic stem cell in co-culture with the human mesenchymal stem cell such that the CD34+/Thy1+ phenotype for the human hematopoietic stem cell is maintained. Furthermore, the composition therefor is provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide compositions and methods for directing mesenchymal stem cells cultivated in vitro to differentiate into specific cell lineage pathways at the time of implantation. SOLUTION: A composition for augmenting bone formation comprises porous ceramic in combination with isolated mesenchymal stem cells, wherein the porous ceramic is in particulate form and a structurally stable, three-dimensional implant. A composition for augmenting bone formation comprises a resorbable biopolymer selected from a group consisting of gelatin, cellulose and collagen in combination with isolated mesenchymal stem cells. Particularly autologous, culture-expanded, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) regenerate clinically significant bone defects. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for preparing a medical composition for repairing a mammal joint.SOLUTION: A method is used for repairing and/or stabilizing the joint by administering allogenic mesenchymal stem cells to the joint. Moreover, the allogenic mesenchymal stem cells are used in an effective dosage to repair osteoarthritis of the mammal in a site damaged by meniscus injury without any scaffolding.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of treating autoimmune diseases, allergic diseases, cancer, or inflammatory diseases in animals, a method of promoting would healing, and a method of promoting angiogenesis in an organ or tissue of an animal.SOLUTION: Mesenchymal stem cells, that are a homogeneous composition obtained by culturing adherent marrow or periosteal cells or a mixed cell population enriched in MSCs, are administered in an amount of from about 1×10cells/kg to about 1×10cells/kg, alternatively in an amount of from about 1×10cells/kg to about 5×10cells/kg.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To isolate and provide useful stem cells existing in the marrow at a very low rate. SOLUTION: The population of the isolated human mesenchymal stem cells is capable of differentiating into cells of more than one connective tissue type. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
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:
Disclosed are compositions comprising a non-homogenized chorionic matrix, a homogenized amniotic matrix and a homogenized UC (UC) matrix, wherein the non-homogenized chorionic matrix comprises viable cells. Disclosed are methods of making the compositions disclosed herein comprising preparing a non-homogenized chorionic matrix, preparing a homogenized amniotic matrix, preparing a homogenized UC matrix, and combining the non-homogenized chorionic matrix, the non-homogenized chorionic matrix, and the homogenized UC matrix. Disclosed are methods of treating a tissue injury or chronic pain comprising administering any of the disclosed compositions to an area of a subject comprising a tissue injury.
