Abstract: Described are platforms, systems, media, and methods for maintaining a database of items associated with one or more skill requirements and a visit duration; maintaining a database of experts associated with one or more skill proficiencies, a location, and a schedule; receiving a request from a consumer for delivery by an expert of one or more items in the database to a consumer address; identifying experts in the database having skill proficiencies matching the skill requirements of the one or more items and available in a timeslot for the visit duration of the one or more items; presenting timeslots for which one or more experts are identified to the consumer and allowing the consumer to select a timeslot; and selecting an expert from among the identified experts in the selected timeslot based on shortest travel time; provided that utilization of the selected expert exceeds a predetermined utilization threshold.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides distinct therapeutic populations of cells that form a pharmaceutical composition useful in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell transplant. For example, the present disclosure provides a therapeutic population of cells, comprising an enriched population of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, memory T cells, regulatory T cells, and wherein the population of cells is depleted of naïve conventional ??-T cells. The present disclosure further provides methods of treatment using the therapeutic population of cells. In other embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods of producing a therapeutic population of cells.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include methods of treating a subject to reduce adhesion formation, the method comprising administering to a subject in need of thereof an agent that that targets adhesion-formation by injured mesothelial cells. The agent can act at a variety of checkpoints in the development of adhesions by injured mesothelial cells, including: targeting the injured mesothelial cells for destruction, recruiting inflammatory macrophages to the site of adhesion, preventing neutrophil recruitment to the site of adhesion, and/or inhibiting the expression or activity of a gene product whose expression is induced in the injured mesothelial cells. Compositions and kits for performing the methods are also provided.
