Abstract: The present invention is based on the discovery that nitric oxide (NO) is an important growth regulator in an intact developing organism. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of increasing in a mammal a population of hematopoietic stem cells which are capable of undergoing normal hematopoiesis, differentiation and maturation in hematopoietic tissue, wherein the hematopoietic tissue is contacted with at least one inhibitor of NO, such as one or more inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), thereby producing hematopoietic tissue having an increased population of hematopoietic stem cells which are capable of undergoing normal hematopoiesis, differentiation and maturation. The present invention also relates to a method of increasing a population of cells in S phase in a tissue of a mammal, comprising contacting the tissue with an inhibitor (one or more) of NO, such as an inhibitor of NOS.

Abstract: A single cell electroporation assembly and method involve delivery of a substance into a single cell. The substance is combined into an electroporation fluid and placed into a container having a distal opening. The distal opening of the container is placed in proximity to a target cell. Electrical pulses are delivered between a first electrode which is at least partially disposed in the container, and a second electrode outside the cell, the cell being positioned between the distal opening and the second electrode. The electrical pulses induce temporary formation of pores in the cell membrane and the substance enters the cell through the pores by passive diffusion or by active electrophoretic motion.

Abstract: The present invention is based on the discovery that nitric oxide (NO) is an important growth regulator in an intact developing organism. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of increasing in a mammal a population of hematopoietic stem cells in bone marrow which are capable of undergoing normal hematopoiesis and differentiation, wherein the bone marrow is contacted with an inhibitor of NO, such as an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), thereby producing bone marrow having an increased population of hematopoietic stem cells which are capable of undergoing normal hematopoiesis and differentiation. The present invention also relates to a method of increasing a population of cells in S phase in a tissue of a mammal, comprising contacting the tissue with an inhibitor of NO, such as an inhibitor of NOS. The invention also pertains to a method of regenerating tissue in an adult mammal comprising contacting a selected tissue (e.g.
