| 20120107936 | CULTURED PANCREAS ISLETS - Methods of preparing pancreatic islets that may comprise pancreatites are provided. The methods may involve subjecting a pancreas and/or pieces thereof to disruption, such as, for example, an enzyme digest, and seeding the recovered cellular product comprising islets in a culture medium comprising at least a detectable amount of endocrine tissue and/or exocrine tissue. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20120015343 | METHODS FOR INCREASING ISOLATION YIELDS OF CELLULAR PRODUCTS - Methods of isolating cellular products, such as pancreatic islets, may be used in diabetes research and therapeutic transplantation. The methods may involve providing a donor tissue having desired cells and undesired cells, perfusing the donor tissue with a perfusion solution, developing edema during perfusion of the donor tissue to form a swelled tissue, and separating the desired cells from undesired cellular material to obtain a cellular product. The methods may also include disrupting the tissue, and separating the desired cells from undesired cellular material to obtain the cellular product. The methods may result in an increased yield of cellular product that retains sufficient functional integrity to be useful as a transplantation resource. | 01-19-2012 |
| 20100216110 | METHOD FOR ICE-FREE CRYOPRESERVATION OF TISSUE - Method for preserving tissue including immersing the tissue in a solution having a cryoprotectant concentration of at least 75% by weight, a cooling step where the tissue is cooled to a temperature between the glass transition temperature of the solution having a cryoprotectant concentration of at least 75% by weight and −20° C., a storage step where the tissue is stored at a temperature between the glass transition temperature of the solution and −20° C., a rewarming step, where the tissue is warmed, and a washing step. | 08-26-2010 |
