Abstract: Methods are provided for the ex host maturation of immature germline cells into haploid gametes for restoration of fertility in patients in need thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for cryopreserving cells and tissues under clinical conditions, allowing production of viable cell products suitable for transplantation.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for promoting tissue regeneration, particularly skin regeneration, with adipose-derived stem cells are provided. Additionally methods and compositions for promoting tissue regeneration with adipose-derived stem cell side population cells are provided. The adipose-derived cells are administered in a tissue regenerating effect amount optionally with a bioactive agent. Additionally the adipose derived cells can be autologous or syngeneic.

Abstract: Therapeutically programmed cells and methods for making such cells are provided. Therapeutically programmed cells are stem cells which have been matured such that they represent either a more differentiated state or a less differentiated state after contact with stimulatory factors. The therapeutically reprogrammed cells are suitable for cellular regenerative therapy and have the potential to differentiate into more committed cell lineages. Additionally, hybrid stem cells suitable for therapeutic reprogramming and cellular regenerative therapy are provided.

Abstract: Pluripotent therapeutically programmed cells and methods for making such cells are provided. The pluripotent therapeutically programmed cells are post-natal stem cells which have been matured such that they represent either a more differentiated state or a less differentiated state after contact with stimulatory factors. The pluripotent therapeutically reprogrammed cells are suitable for cellular regenerative therapy and have the potential to differentiate into more committed cell lineages. Also disclosed are culture media for therapeutically reprogramming post-natal stem cells.

Abstract: Methods are provided for therapeutically reprogramming differentiated cells with nuclear extracts from pluripotent stem cells to generate a pluripotent epigenetic state in the differentiated cells. Additionally, therapeutically programmed cells for therapeutic use in patients are provided. Therapeutically programmed cells are stem cells which have been matured such that they represent either a more differentiated state or a less differentiated state after contact with stimulatory factors.
