| 20110243898 | SOMATIC CELL-DERIVED PLURIPOTENT CELLS AND METHODS OF USE THEREFOR - Provided are methods for producing a reprogrammed fibroblast. The methods can include growing a plurality of fibroblasts in monolayer culture to confluency; and disrupting the monolayer culture to place at least a fraction of the plurality of fibroblasts into suspension culture under conditions sufficient to form one or more embryoid body-like spheres, wherein the one or more embryoid body-like spheres comprise one or more reprogrammed fibroblasts that express one or more markers not expressed by a fibroblast growing in the monolayer culture prior to the disrupting step. Also provided are reprogrammed fibroblasts produced by the disclosed methods, formulations that include reprogrammed fibroblasts, and methods for treating an injury to a tissue in a subject by administering to a subject in need thereof a composition of reprogrammed fibroblast cells in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20090110668 | SUBPOPULATIONS OF BONE MARROW-DERIVED ADHERENT STEM CELLS AND METHODS OF USE THEREFOR - The presently disclosed subject matter provides an isolated subpopulation of bone marrow-derived adherent stem cells that are purified from bone marrow-derived adherent cells. Also provided are methods for isolating the subpopulation of bone marrow-derived adherent stem cells from bone marrow-derived adherent cells and for using the isolated subpopulation of bone marrow-derived adherent stem cells for treating tissue and/or organ damage in a subject. | 04-30-2009 |
