Abstract: Compositions and preparations of fetal support tissue that prevent or reduce the proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of epithelial cells, wherein the epithelial cells may be human epithelial cells and the human epithelial cells may be conjunctival, retinal, corneal, limbal, or renal epithelial cells. Methods of preventing or reducing the proliferation, cell migration, and EMT of epithelial cells in an individual in need thereof, wherein the epithelial cells may be human epithelial cells and the human epithelial cells may be conjunctival, retinal, corneal, limbal, or renal epithelial cells. Methods of preventing or treating proliferative vitreoretinopathy in an individual in need thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to the fields of biology and life sciences. More particularly, the invention relates to compositions and methods for modulating cellular physiology and pathological processing using a combination of compounds that can be found in morselized amniotic membrane tissue and morselized umbilical cord tissue preparations.

Abstract: Compositions having a combination of specific biological components have been found to exert a number of useful effects in mammalian cells, including modulating TGF ? signaling, apoptosis, and proliferation of mammalian cells, as well as decreasing inflammation in mice. These components can be obtained commercially, or can be prepared from biological tissues such as placental tissues. Placental amniotic membrane (AM) preparations described herein include AM pieces, AM extracts, AM jelly, AM stroma, and mixtures of these compositions with additional components. The compositions can be used to treat various diseases, such as wound healing, inflammation and angiogenesis-related diseases.

Abstract: Disclosed herein, are methods of preparing fetal support tissue powders. Further disclosed herein, are methods of using the fetal support tissue powder product.
