摘要:
Compositions and methods of using cells derived from umbilical cord tissue, to stimulate and support angiogenesis, to improve blood flow, to regenerate, repair, and improve skeletal muscle damaged by a peripheral ischemic event, and to protect skeletal muscle from ischemic damage in peripheral vascular disease patients are disclosed. In particular, methods of treating a patient having a peripheral vascular disease with umbilical derived cells and fibrin glue are disclosed.
摘要:
Cells derived from human umbilical cords are disclosed along with methods for their therapeutic use. Isolation techniques, culture methods and detailed characterization of the cells with respect to their cell surface markers, gene expression, and their secretion of trophic factors are described.

摘要:
This invention relates to methods of treating stroke by intranasal administration of umbilical cord tissue-derived cells, which are isolated from mammalian umbilical cord tissue substantially free of blood or expanded in culture from a cell isolated from mammalian umbilical cord tissue substantially free of blood, are capable of self-renewal and expansion in culture, and do not produce CD117 and/or telomerase. The methods of the invention regenerate, repair and improve neural tissue and improve behavior and neurological function in stroke patients.
摘要:
This invention encompasses methods, pharmaceutical compositions, and kits for modulating (e.g. reducing) the production of pro-inflammatory mediators involved in the pathology of a lung disease, disorder, and/or injury in a patient having the lung disease, disorder, and/or injury. The invention also encompasses methods, pharmaceutical compositions, and kits for inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory mediators involved in the pathology of a lung disease, disorder, and/or injury in a patient having the lung disease, disorder, and/or injury. In one embodiment, the umbilical cord tissue-derived cells are isolated from human umbilical cord tissue substantially free of blood, are capable of self-renewal and expansion in culture, lack the production of CD117 or CD45, and do not express hTERT or telomerase.
摘要:
Cells derived from postpartum umbilicus and placenta are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions, devices and methods for the regeneration or repair of neural tissue using the postpartum-derived cells are also disclosed.

摘要:
The invention relates to a fibrin-based scaffold suitable for supporting a population of cells comprising mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and/or umbilical tissue derived cells (UTC) at the site of administration for a prolonged period of time. The scaffold is capable of supporting at least 1×106 cells/ml scaffold. The invention also relates to the preparation of the scaffold and to its use. Preparation of the scaffold is carried out with a fibrinogen component comprising fibrinogen having a final concentration of higher than 17.5 mg/ml scaffold. The scaffold and the embedded MSC and/or UTC can be used for increasing vascularization and/or wound healing at the site of administration.
摘要:
Methods for treating a patient having a disease or condition related to IVD degeneration are provided. The methods comprise administering cells obtained from human umbilical cord tissue, or administering pharmaceutical compositions comprising such cells or prepared from such cells and optionally a hydrogel. In some embodiments, administering the cells promotes repair and regeneration of degenerated IVD tissue in the patient. Pharmaceutical compositions for use in the inventive methods, as well as kits for practicing the methods are also provided.
