摘要:
This invention relates to an expandable population of amniotic fluid-derived cells that can be differentiated into a β-cell lineage. This invention also provides methods for isolating and expanding such amniotic fluid-derived cells, as well as related methods and compositions for utilizing such cells in the therapeutic treatment of diabetes.
摘要:
The present invention generally relates to biocompatible devices suitable for increasing cellular HIF-1 α protein levels. In particular, the present invention relates to an implant comprising a biocompatible support loaded with at least one pharmaceutical agent capable of increasing cellular HIF-1 α protein levels to promote vascularization at or near the implant site. Vascularization of the implanted support results in enhanced survival of cells optionally incorporated within the support. Methods for treating a disease or injury via implanting the support of the present invention are also provided.

The present invention generally relates to biocompatible devices suitable for increasing cellular HIF-1 ± protein levels. In particular, the present invention relates to an implant comprising a biocompatible support loaded with at least one pharmaceutical agent capable of increasing cellular HIF-1 ± protein levels to promote vascularization at or near the implant site. Vascularization of the implanted support results in enhanced survival of cells optionally incorporated within the support. Methods for treating a disease or injury via implanting the support of the present invention are also provided.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods to promote the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells. In particular, the present invention provides an improved method for the formation of pancreatic endoderm, pancreatic hormone expressing cells and pancreatic hormone secreting cells. The present invention also provides methods to promote the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells without the use of a feeder cell layer.
摘要:
The present invention generally relates to biocompatible devices suitable for promoting the movement of cells from a first location to a second location and their retention in the second location. In particular, the present invention relates to an implant, comprising a biocompatible support loaded with at least one pharmaceutical agent capable promoting the movement of cells from a first location to a second location and their retention in the second location. The at least one pharmaceutical agent promotes vascularization at or near the implant site. Vascularization of the implanted support results in enhanced survival of cells optionally incorporated within the support. Methods for treating a disease or injury via implanting the support of the present invention are also provided.
