摘要:
Provided are fibrin or silk matrices comprising an oxygen carrier, and matrices, which comprise an oxygen carrier and mesenchymal stem cells. Also provided are methods of generating and using same for ex vivo or in vivo tissue regeneration and/or repair such as for treating a non-union bone fracture and a condition requiring spinal fusion.
摘要:
A system for qualifying cells of a cell sample labeled with a magnetic or magnetizable moiety is provided. The system includes a cell sample holder for holding a cell of the cells and a first cell analyzer which includes a magnetic field source for applying a magnetic field to the cell and a sensor for qualifying and/or quantifying an effect of the magnetic field on the cell.
摘要:
The invention relates to methods of isolating and implanting mesenchymal stem cells for tissue repair or formation, without prior culture expansion of the mesenchymal stem cells. In particular, the invention relates to methods of isolating mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow, for repairing or inducing formation of bone, without prior culture expansion of the mesenchymal stem cells. The invention further relates to an isolated, non-culurally expanded human adult mesenchymal stem cell population.
摘要:
Cyclic to Synthetic pseudopeptide derivatives of osteogenic growth polypeptide (OGP) and OGP(10-14) which are capable of enhancing bone cell proliferation and bone formation. Pharmaceutical composition comprising as active ingredient at least one pseudopeptide derivative of the invention and to the use of these pseudopeptide derivatives in the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for stimulating the formation of osteoblastic or fibroblastic cells, enhancing bone formation in osteopenic pathological conditions, repairing fractures, healing wounds, grafting of intraosseous implants, reversing bone loss in osteoporosis and other conditions requiring enhanced bone cells formation.
摘要:
A biochemically pure polypeptide(s), termed osteogenic growth polypeptide (OGP), which exhibits stimulatory effects on osteoblastic cells, in vivo bone formation and hemopoietic reconstruction. OGP, identified from regenerating bone marrow, has an amino acid sequence ofAla-Leu-Lys-Arg-Gln-Gly-Arg-Thr-Leu-Tyr-Gly-Phe-Gly-Gly.
摘要:
A method is provided for making a flexible superconductive composite wire by drawing a wire of noble metal through a melt formed from solid superconducting material. The preferred superconducting material comprises the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O class of materials.
摘要:
A composite scaffold for engineering a heterogeneous tissue is provided. The composite scaffold includes: (a) a first scaffold being capable of supporting formation of a first tissue type thereupon; and (b) a second scaffold being capable of supporting formation of a second tissue type thereupon; wherein the first scaffold and the second scaffold are arranged with respect to each other such that when the first scaffold supports the first tissue type and the second scaffold supports the second tissue type, a distance between any cell of the second tissue type and the first tissue type does not exceed 200 μm.

摘要:
This invention is directed to methods, nucleic acids and compositions in TAK1-mediated regulation of SMAD activity. Promotion of TAK1 interaction with MH2 domains in SMADs negatively regulates SMAD biological activity. BMP-mediated SMAD activity is subject to TAK1 effects.
摘要:
This invention is directed to a BMP-6 ERE nucleic acid sequence, vectors, cells and compositions comprising same. This invention also provides methods for identification of estrogen agonists, antagonists and therapeutic applications of same. This invention also provides methods of treating conditions, which are associated with estrogen insufficiency or with lack of response to external estrogen or agonists thereof utilizing sequences, vectors, cells and/or compositions described herein.
