    Abstract: Provided are methods for isolating potent extracellular vesicle populations from mesenchymal stem cells. In particular, the present disclosure identified a protein profile specific for MSC-derived EV populations. Moreover, disclosed herein is the use of the isolated extracellular vesicles in treating a variety of diseases and conditions, including chronic or acute lung diseases such as pulmonary hypertension, ARDS and diseases and conditions characterized by vasculopathy, reduced angiogenesis, apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, acute inflammation, fibrosis, or chronic inflammation.

    Abstract: An automated bioreactor system for decellularizing an organ includes a main chamber for containing the organ. The system further includes a reagent chamber containing a liquid phase reagent. A reagent conduit delivers the liquid phase reagent to the main chamber, and a perfusion conduit delivers the reagent from the reagent outlet in the main chamber into the organ. A perfusion pump drives the flow of the reagent. A perfusion pressure sensor detects a pressure of the flowing reagent. A control system controls the perfusion pump to drive the flow of the reagent based on a received input representative of a desired pressure and a received input of the detected pressure. The control system may automatically perform all of the steps of a decellularization protocol based on sensor input. An automated waste decontamination system may also be provided.
