  • Patent number: 12364715
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for promoting donor-specific tolerance and immunocompetence to a recipient of a solid organ transplant, by implanting an allogeneic solid organ in a recipient in need of a solid organ transplant and further comprising surgical implantation of a tissue-engineered allogeneic cultured postnatal thymus tissue product in the recipient of a solid organ from a donor. Methods of producing an allogeneic cultured postnatal thymus tissue-derived product suitable for implantation into a human; methods of culturing allogeneic cultured postnatal thymus tissue-derived product suitable for implantation into a human and methods of using allogeneic cultured postnatal thymus tissue-derived product by implantation in a human subject.

  • Publication number: 20210279442
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing quantitative histopathology analysis for determining tissue potency are disclosed. According to some embodiments, a method training a tissue classifier is provided. According to the method, training the tissue classifier includes generating feature fingerprints of detected nuclei within slide images in a control library and clustering the slide images based on their corresponding feature fingerprints. According to some embodiments, a method for utilizing the trained tissue classifier is provided. According to the method, the trained tissue classifier determines whether tissue in an unknown slide image corresponds to slide images clustered during the training of the tissue classifier.
