Abstract: Provided herein are methods of using amnion derived adherent cells, and populations of, and compositions comprising, such cells, in the modulation of an immune response. In various embodiments, the immune response is graft-versus-host disease, an allergy, asthma, or an immune-related disease or disorder, e.g., an autoimmune disease.

Abstract: Provided herein are compositions comprising placental stem cells and platelet rich plasma. Also provided herein are methods of treating an individual suffering from a disease or condition that would benefit from reduced inflammation, promotion of angiogenesis, and enhanced healing, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising placental stem cells and platelet rich plasma, as described herein, to said individual in an amount and for a time sufficient for detectable improvement of said disease or condition.

Abstract: Described herein are methods of cryopreserving cells that have been suspended in alginate as well as methods for encapsulating cryopreserved cells that have been suspended in alginate. Further provided herein are cellular compositions comprising cells that have been processed in accordance with the methods described herein.
