| Patent application number | Description | Published |
| 20090092653 | REPAIR AND REGENERATION OF RENAL TISSUE USING HUMAN UMBILICAL CORD TISSUE-DERIVED CELLS - Methods for treating a patient having a disease or damage to at least one kidney are provided. The methods comprise administering cells obtained from human umbilical cord tissue, or administering pharmaceutical compositions comprising such cells or prepared from such cells. When administered, the cells promote and support the repair and regeneration of the diseased or damaged kidney tissue in the patient. Pharmaceutical compositions for use in the inventive methods, as well as kits for practicing the methods are also provided. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090162411 | ENCAPSULATED KIDNEY TISSUE - Provided are therapeutic implants comprising renal tissue encapsulated within a polymer bead. Also disclosed are methods for treating a disease state in a subject comprising implanting within said subject a therapeutic implant comprising renal tissue encapsulated within a polymer bead. Also provided are methods for making a therapeutic implant comprising: providing renal tissue; mixing the renal tissue with a solution comprising a polymer, thereby forming a tissue-polymer suspension; extruding the tissue-polymer suspension into an bead-forming solution, thereby forming a therapeutic implant comprising beads of said polymer within which the renal tissue is encapsulated. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090275129 | TISSUE ENGINEERED BLOOD VESSELS - Compositions and methods of using tissue engineered blood vessels to repair and regenerate blood vessels of patients with vascular disease are disclosed. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100151575 | Method of Making Conditioned Media from Kidney Derived Cells - Methods of making conditioned media by culturing cells on nonwoven substrates are disclosed. More specifically, methods of making conditioned media by culturing mammalian kidney-derived cells on nonwoven substrates are disclosed. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100158877 | TREATMENT OF LUNG AND PULMONARY DISEASES AND DISORDERS - Compositions and methods of using cells derived from umbilical cord tissue to stimulate and support lung tissue angiogenesis, to improve blood flow to lung tissue, to regenerate, repair, and improve lung tissue damaged by lung disease, disorder and/or injury, and to protect lung tissue from damage caused by lung disease, disorder and/or injury in a patient. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20110076769 | MAMMARY ARTERY DERIVED CELLS AND METHODS OF USE IN TISSUE REPAIR AND REGENERATION - An isolated mammalian internal mammary artery-derived cell is disclosed. Furthermore, methods of isolating the mammalian internal mammary artery-derived cell are disclosed. The cell is useful in tissue engineering technologies, specifically in vascular tissue engineering. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110142805 | METHOD OF RENAL REPAIR AND REGENERATION AND THE TREATMENT OF DIABETIC NEPHROPATHY - We have disclosed methods for treating chronic kidney disease. More specifically, we have disclosed methods for treating diabetic nephropathy with human kidney derived cells. | 06-16-2011 |
