20080254090 | Porcine Islets Cultured With Porcine Sertoli Cells For Xenotransplantation - Aggregates and their method of preparation suitable for implantation into a recipient in order to produce insulin in vivo. The methods involve culturing islet cells isolated from the pancreas of donor piglets with isolated Sertoli cells from the testes of donor piglets. A preferred period of culturing is 5 days and may be followed by a purification procedure. | 10-16-2008 |
20080286864 | Choroid Plexus Preparation and Uses Thereof - The present invention is directed to the use of choroid plexus cells and/or choroid plexus conditioned media for enhancing the growth, survival and/or maintenance of function of non-choroid plexus cells grown in long term or short term culture. | 11-20-2008 |
20080292611 | NOVEL METHODS OF TREATMENT AND DELIVERY MODES - The invention relates to a novel method of administration, and device employed in the method, for administering a treatment species to the lungs of a recipient patient. The method involves introducing the device of the invention to the venous system of the patient, the size of the treatment species being such that, upon introduction to the venous system of the patient, the device will impact in a region of a lung capillary of the patient. The treatment species gains access to the lung and/or lung epithelia due to proteases associated with the treatments species. The application of the method to the treatment of cystic fibrosis is also claimed. | 11-27-2008 |
20090047325 | XENOTRANSPLANT FOR CNS THERAPY - Disclosed are compositions and methods for the xenotransplantation treatment of neurological diseases of the central nervous system of a mammal. | 02-19-2009 |
20090075375 | CHOROID PLEXUS PREPARATION AND USES THEREOF - The present invention is directed to the use of choroids plexus cells and/or choroids plexus conditioned media for enhancing the growth, survival and/or maintenance of function of non-choroid plexus cells grown in long term or short term culture. | 03-19-2009 |
20090162325 | CELL IMPLANTATION TO PREVENT AND/OR TREAT AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE - The present invention is directed to the prevention or treatment of autoimmune diseases, and in particular, of type I diabetes, by administering a therapeutically effective amount of an implantable composition comprising living choroid plexus cells. | 06-25-2009 |
20090214660 | ENCAPSULATION SYSTEM - The present invention is directed to a composition comprising high mannuronic acid-containing alginate and a polycation having a polydispersity index of less than 1.5. The composition is particularly useful for making biocompatible microcapsules containing living cells for allo- or xeno-transplantation. Such microcapsules have enhanced durability and can maintain their structural and functional integrity over long periods of time compared to prior art alginate microcapsules. | 08-27-2009 |
