    摘要: Disclosed are treatments, compositions of matter, and protocols for reducing, ameliorating, or reversing excess inflammation and/or cytokine storm through administration of Sphagnum and/or extracts thereof. In particular embodiments, a patient at risk for cytokine storm is administered a Sphagnum extract at a concentration sufficient to induce an immunomodulatory change in said patient, including suppression of macrophage activation, reduction of neutrophil activation and inhibition of DNA extracellular trap release. In some embodiments, Sphagnum, or extracts thereof are administered together with other agents to enhance activity in treatment of Covid-19 infection and associated pathologies. In some embodiments, humic acid and/or analogues thereof are administered for reduction of pathological inflammation and/or stimulation of immunity.

    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to methods and compositions for inducing the generation of cells capable of killing cancer associated fibroblasts at least in part through the generation of ex vivo expanded cord blood cells which are programmed to kill cancer associated fibroblasts. Certain aspects relate to generation of immune cells, including T cell and Natural Killer (NK) cells, for use in targeting cancer cells and cancer associated fibroblasts. Further aspects are directed to gene editing and/or gene silencing of immune checkpoint proteins in therapeutic immune cells.

    摘要: Disclosed are means of enhancing therapeutic effects of fibroblast administration through utilization of extracorporeal shock waves. In one embodiment, enhancement of intravenously administered fibroblast therapeutic activity is accomplished by introducing extracorporeal shock waves to the patient in need of therapy. In one specific embodiment, enhancement of the ability of fibroblasts administered intravenously to treat a condition is accomplished by exposure of areas areas affected by the condition to extracorporeal shock waves. In another specific embodiment, the invention provides transfection of IL-12 and/or IL-23 into fibroblasts to augment regenerative activity, including neuroregenerative and anticancer activity. In further embodiments the invention provides augmentation of regenerative activity by induction of T regulatory cells utilizing IL-35 transfection, wherein said T regulatory cells provide an optimized environment for stimulation of regenerative activity.

    摘要: Disclosed are means of suppressing production of the inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha through contact-dependent and contact-independent means by fibroblast populations and products and/or derivatives of fibroblast populations. In one embodiment, fibroblasts are cultured under conditions allowing proliferation of said fibroblasts, wherein said proliferative status of fibroblasts correlates with the ability to directly suppress TNF-alpha production, and/or to release one or more factors capable of suppressing TNF-alpha production. In one embodiment, fibroblasts are used for treatment of inflammatory diseases by their ability to suppress TNF-alpha production. In other embodiments, conditioned media and/or exosomes of said fibroblasts are utilized to treat inflammatory diseases by their ability to suppress TNF-alpha production.

    摘要: Disclosed are means, methods, and compositions of matter useful for enhancing therapeutic efficacy of fibroblasts, fibroblast products such as exosomes, or fibroblast apoptotic bodies, through modulation of the recipient microbiome prior to, concurrent with, and subsequent to administration of fibroblasts. In one embodiment, assessment of dysbiosis is performed prior to administration of fibroblast therapy, and dysbiosis is repaired by means including: a) microbiome transplant; b) prebiotic treatment; and/or c) probiotic treatment.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for treating or preventing ovarian failure using fibroblasts or cells derived from fibroblasts. In some embodiments, ovarian failure is pathological, the result of an intervention, or the result of aging. In some embodiments, regenerative fibroblast cells are administered locally into the ovary or peri-ovary areas or systemically. In some embodiments, regenerative cells act to suppress fibrosis of the ovaries, inhibit inflammation, stimulate maturation of immature ovarian progenitor cells, or directly differentiate into oocytes. In some embodiments, regenerative fibroblasts produce factors that inhibit apoptosis of oocytes and/or oocyte progenitors.
