    摘要: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for providing hematopoietic function to human patients in need thereof, by selecting a pool of expanded human cord blood stem/progenitor cell samples for administration to the patient, wherein the samples in the pool collectively do not mismatch the patient at more than 2 of the HLA antigens or alleles typed in the patient; and administering the selected pool of expanded human cord blood stem/progenitor cell samples to the patient. Methods for obtaining the pools of expanded human cord blood stem/progenitor cell samples, banks of frozen pools of expanded human umbilical cord blood stem/progenitor cell samples, and methods for producing such banks are also provided herein.

    摘要: The present disclosure generally pertains to methods of treating non-healing wounds. Specifically, the method includes injecting amnion fluid derived cells along the periphery of the wound. The wound is then treated with a placental membrane material including a plurality of slits for increasing the membranes capacity to expand. The slits produce a mesh-like pattern in the membrane material. The amniotic derived cells deliver to the wound electrolytes, growth factors, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, amino acids, lactate, pyruvate, enzymes, hormones and other factors useful in wound repair. The membrane material provides a scaffolding structure supporting cell growth, prevents microbial infection and decreases the rate of passive evaporative water and heat loss. The combination of the amniotic derived cells and the membrane material protects the wound and promotes cell regeneration.

    摘要: Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for an extracorporeal, artificial, placenta. In some embodiments, an artificial placenta and amniotic bed system may comprise a control unit, a gas delivery unit, a gas exchange unit or membrane oxygenator, a fluids delivery unit, an amniotic fluid bed, and a human machine interface. In some embodiments, the artificial placenta and amniotic bed systems, devices, and methods described herein may improve survival rates and minimize long-term disabilities in preterm, gestational-age, newborns. In some embodiments, the extracorporeal systems, devices, and methods comprise an artificial network through which oxygen and nutrient-rich blood may flow into a fetus (residing in an amniotic fluid bed), while carbon dioxide and wastes may be removed, thus re-establishing a form of intrauterine placental circulation.

    摘要: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for providing hematopoietic function in immunodeficient human patients, by selecting an expanded human umbilical cord blood stem/progenitor cell sample without taking into account the HLA-type of the expanded human cord blood stem/progenitor sample or the HLA-type of the patient; and administering the selected expanded human cord blood stem/progenitor cell sample to the patient. Methods for obtaining the expanded human cord blood stem/progenitor cell samples, banks of frozen expanded human cord blood stem/progenitor cell samples, and methods for producing such banks are also provided herein.

    摘要: A method for preparing placenta membrane tissue grafts for medical use, includes obtaining a placenta from a subject, cleaning the placenta, separating the chorion tissue from the amniotic membrane, mounting a selected layer of either the chorion tissue or the amniotic membrane onto a drying fixture, dehydrating the selected layer on the drying fixture, and cutting the selected layer into a plurality of tissue grafts. Preferably, the drying fixture includes grooves or raised edges that define the outer contours of each desired tissue graft, after they are cut, and further includes raised or indented logos that emboss the middle area of the tissue grafts during dehydration and that enables an end user to distinguish the top from the bottom side of the graft. The grafts are comprised of single layers of amnion or chorion, multiple layers of amnion or chorion, or multiple layers of a combination of amnion and chorion.
