Abstract: The invention is directed to methods of promoting the healing of spinal cord injury. The invention is further directed to methods of minimizing the extent of scarring following spinal cord injury. Such methods utilize novel compositions, including but not limited to extraembryonic cytokine secreting cells (herein referred to as ECS cells), including, but not limited to, amnion-derived multipotent progenitor cells (herein referred to as AMP cells) and conditioned media derived therefrom (herein referred to as amnion-derived cellular cytokine solution or ACCS), each alone or in combination with each other and/or other agents.

Abstract: The invention is directed to methods of modulating ischemic injury in tissues and organs. The invention is further directed to methods of increasing time to ischemic injury in tissues and organs. Such methods utilize compositions comprising cells capable of modulating inflammatory responses, referred to herein as Inflammatory Response Modulating Cells (IRMCs). The IRMCs any be used directly or cell membranes derived from them may be used in practicing the methods of the invention. In addition, the IRMCs and IRMC membranes may be used alone or in combination with each other and/or in combination with various suitable active agents.
