  • METHODS FOR INCREASING TRICHOGENICITY OF DERMAL CELLS
    Publication number: 20120022433
    Abstract: Methods for increasing trichogenic activity of populations of dermal cells by inducing local trauma to skin tissue that serves as a source of the dermal cells are provided. Methods for obtaining dermal cells with increased trichogenic activity and for using the disclosed dermal cells to implant into a mammalian host at a site of desired follicle generation are also provided.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 30, 2011
    Publication date: January 26, 2012
    Inventors: Ying Zheng, Arben Nace, Luke Sergott, Michael Ensslin, Ying Homan, Kurt Stenn

  • Methods and compositions for modulating gamete adhesion
    Patent number: 7439221
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for modulating mammalian gamete adhesion are provided. Representative modulators of gamete adhesion include, but are not limited to polypeptides comprising at least one discoidin/C domain, and optionally at least one EGF domain. A representative polypeptide includes, but is not limited to SED1 polypeptides (SEQ ID NOs. 2-7), prodrugs, fragments, or derivatives thereof. Methods for identifying modulators of SED1-mediated gamete adhesion are also provided.
    Type: Grant
