20120128631 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR KINASE-MEDIATED CYTOPROTECTION AND ENHANCED CELLULAR ENGRAFTMENT AND PERSISTENCE - Disclosed are methods of protecting cells, especially non-vascular system, non-hematopoietic cells and tissues, from apoptosis and enhancing their engraftment, survival, and/or persistence by providing enhanced levels of PIM activity for the cell, including PIM-1 activity. Also disclosed are cells that have been engineered to express enhanced levels of PIM kinase, and methods of administering those cells to vertebrates. | 05-24-2012 |
