| 20100062435 | Methods for Stem Cell Production and Therapy - The present invention relates to methods for rapidly expanding a stem cell population with or without culture supplements in simulated microgravity conditions. The present invention relates to methods for rapidly increasing the life span of stem cell populations without culture supplements in simulated microgravity conditions. The present invention also relates to methods for increasing the sensitivity of cancer stem cells to chemotherapeutic agents by culturing the cancer stem cells under microgravity conditions and in the presence of omega-3 fatty acids. The methods of the present invention can also be used to proliferate cancer cells by culturing them in the presence of omega-3 fatty acids. The present invention also relates to methods for testing the sensitivity of cancer cells and cancer stem cells to chemotherapeutic agents by culturing the cancer cells and cancer stem cells under microgravity conditions. The methods of the present invention can also be used to produce tissue for use in transplantation by culturing stem cells or cancer stem cells under microgravity conditions. The methods of the present invention can also be used to produce cellular factors and growth factors by culturing stem cells or cancer stem cells under microgravity conditions. The methods of the present invention can also be used to produce cellular factors and growth factors to promote differentiation of cancer stem cells under microgravity conditions. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20090264316 | Ultraviolet/Ozone Patterned Organosilane Surfaces - UV/ozone treatment can be used to alter the hydrophobicity of organosilane coated surfaces. Methods are contemplated for producing micropatterned surfaces by coating a surface with an organosilane to produce an organosilane surface; and exposing the organosilane surface to ultraviolet light in the presence of oxygen, wherein the micropatterned organosilane surface is produced without the use of photoresist. Methods for producing substrate-micropatterned surfaces further are also contemplated. Suitable substrates include nucleotides, proteins, carbohydrates, and cells. The organosilane coated devices of the present invention may be used in, for example, arrays. | 10-22-2009 |
