| 20120009618 | ENDOTHELIAL CELL PRODUCTION BY PROGRAMMING - The invention generally regards methods for providing endothelial cells and precursors of endothelial cells from a variety of cell sources, such as pluripotent stem cells. Also provided are therapeutic compositions including the provided endothelial cells, and methods of using them for the treatment of subjects. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20110280844 | HEPATOCYTE PRODUCTION BY FORWARD PROGRAMMING - The invention generally features methods for providing hepatocytes from a variety of cell sources, particularly pluripotent stem cells, therapeutic compositions featuring such cells, and methods of using them for the treatment of subjects. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20100279403 | DIFFERENTIATION OF PLURIPOTENT CELLS - Provided herein are methods for the in vitro maintenance, expansion, culture, and/or differentiation of pluripotent cells, such as human embryonic stem cells (hESC) or induced pluripotent cells (iPSC), into hematopoietic precursor cells or endothelial cells. The pluripotent cells may be maintained and differentiated under defined conditions; thus, the use of mouse feeder cells or serum is not required in certain embodiments for the differentiation of the pluripotent cells into hematopoietic precursor cells or endothelial cells. The resulting hematopoietic precursor cells may be further differentiated into various myeloid or lymphoid lineages. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20100216181 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR THE DIFFERENTIATION OF STEM CELLS - The present invention provides methods and compositions for the production of hematopoietic progenitor cells or endothelial progenitor cells from human pluripotent stem cells using a defined cell culture medium without the need to utilize feeder cells or serum. In some embodiments, differentiation is accomplished using hypoxic atmospheric conditions. The defined medium of the present invention may contain growth factors and a matrix component. The hematopoietic progenitor cells may be further differentiated into cell lineages including red blood cells, macrophages, granulocytes, and megakaryocytes. The endothelial progenitor cells may be further differentiated into endothelial cells. Also disclosed are screening assays for identification of candidate substances that affect differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into progenitor cells. | 08-26-2010 |
