摘要:
The invention provides a method of harvesting, processing and storing a plurality of proteins from a mammalian feto-placental unit. The method includes dissecting a mammalian uterus to harvest at least one component of the mammalian feto-placental unit; blast freezing the component; and storing the blast frozen component; wherein the blast frozen component includes the proteins. In one embodiment, the method includes lyophilizing the blast frozen component to remove at least some water from the blast frozen component thereby creating a freeze-dried form; and storing the lyophilized component; wherein the lyophilized component includes the proteins. The invention also provides a composition including proteins from at least one lyophilized, blast frozen component of a harvested mammalian feto-placental unit reconstituted with a fluid. The invention further provides method of treatment of a disease or aging in a mammalian subject including administering to the mammalian subject a plurality of proteins from at least one blast frozen component harvested from a mammalian feto-placental unit; and reducing an accumulation of at least one intracellular protein in the subject.

Inhibition of geranylgeranylation of Rho GTPases and heterotrimeric G-proteins in the aqueous outflow pathway increases aqueous humor outflow, possibly through the tissue relaxation, and through altered cell adhesive interactions and actin cytoskeletal organization in cells of the outflow pathway. In addition, such inhibition is useful for treating age-related macular degeneration. The GGTase-I enzyme is a molecular target for lowering increased ocular pressure in glaucoma patients.

A method for growing adult cells includes harvesting a tissue sample from a subject and breaking the tissue sample into fragments. The fragments are placed into a culture vessel, and at least some of the fragments are induced to adhere to the culture vessel. The fragments are supplied with nutrients so that adult cells contained therein divide and grow.

摘要:
A method for treating an animal having damaged tissue structure includes harvesting a tissue sample from a subject harvesting a tissue sample from the animal, growing tendon-like cells from the tissue sample, and transplanting the tendon-like cells into the damaged tissue structure. Growing the tendon-like cells from the tissue sample can be accomplished by breaking the tissue sample into fragments, placing the fragments into a culture vessel, inducing at least some of the fragments to adhere to the culture vessel, and supplying the fragments with nutrients so that tendon-like cells contained therein divide and grow.
