Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of generating an ex vivo tissue-like system in a bioreactor system capable of supporting continuous production of, and output of cells and tissues and an ex vivo tissue system made therefrom.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions of mesenchymal stromal cells which express B7-H3, their subsequent use in tissue repair, improved methods of producing tissue repair cells and method of producing a substantially pure population of CD14+ autofluorescent macrophages.

Abstract: The present invention provides CD 14+ cell compositions and methods of using same in treating disorders, such as inflammatory disorders, such as atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fluid exchange cell culture technique and tissue repair cells (TRCs) made by these methods, as well as methods using these cells. The method includes a new wash step which increases the tissue repair properties of the TRCs of the invention. This wash step allows for the production of TRC populations with greater tissue repair and anti-inflammatory capabilities. Embodiments of the present invention include a post-culture process for cultured cells that preferably includes the steps of: a wash process for removing unwanted residual culture components, a volume reduction process, and a harvesting process to remove cultured cells. Preferably, all these steps are performed within a aseptically closed cell culture chamber by implementing a separation method that minimizes mechanical disruption of the cells and is simple to automate. The harvested cells may then be concentrated to a final volume for the intended use.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for treating critical limb ischemia (CLI), including increasing wound healing, decreasing wound size, increasing survival-free amputation, preventing amputation, preventing or delaying de novo gangrene, increasing survival probability, and preventing or delaying death, in subjects who prevent a vascular occlusion that cannot be resolved by using a standard method of revascularization, i.e. a subject with “no-option” CLI.
