摘要:
Compositions and methods of using cells derived from umbilical cord tissue to stimulate and support lung tissue angiogenesis, to improve blood flow to lung tissue, to regenerate, repair, and improve lung tissue damaged by lung disease, disorder and/or injury, and to protect lung tissue from damage caused by lung disease, disorder and/or injury in a patient.
摘要:
Methods for treating a patient having a disease or damage to at least one kidney 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. When administered, the cells promote and support the repair and regeneration of the diseased or damaged kidney tissue in the patient. Pharmaceutical compositions for use in the inventive methods, as well as kits for practicing the methods are also provided.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to composite devices comprising a tissue-engineering scaffold and an anionic polysaccharide/structural protein coating. The composite devices are useful for the reparation and regeneration of tissue, particularly in the treatment of chronic wounds.
摘要:
An isolated mammalian internal mammary artery-derived cell is disclosed. Furthermore, methods of isolating the mammalian internal mammary artery-derived cell are disclosed. The cell is useful in tissue engineering technologies, specifically in vascular tissue engineering.

摘要:
Methods, pharmaceutical compositions and kits for regenerating or repairing neural tissue, decreasing apoptosis and improving neurological function following injury are disclosed.
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. 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.
摘要:
Compositions for the treatment of incontinence are disclosed. More particularly, compositions of human umbilical tissue-derived cells and a carrier are disclosed. The compositions are useful in the treatment urinary and fecal incontinence.
摘要:
There is provided a novel vascular endothelial growth factor, herein designated VEGF-X, in addition to the nucleic acid molecule encoding it, a host cell transformed with said vector and compounds which inhibit or enhance angiogenesis. Also provided is the sequence of a CUB domain present in the sequence of VEGF-X which domain itself prevents angiogenesis and which is used to treat diseases associated with inappropriate vascularisation or angiogenesis.
