Abstract: Provided herein are recombinant lentiviral vectors and methods of using the same to produce genetically modified keratinocytes that can be maintained in culture for over 100 population doubling without loss of morphological features or differentiation capacity. Immortalized keratinocytes and immortalized cell lines obtained by the methods of this disclosure are useful for studying the role of pathogenic mutations in skin disease phenotype, for screening for potential therapeutic agents, and for producing race-, sex, and age-specific epidermis for research and clinical applications.

Abstract: The invention is directed to transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN)-mediated DNA editing of disease-causing mutations in the context of the human genome and human cells to treat patients with compromised genetic disorders.

Abstract: This disclosure describes methods for organoid generation including, for example, for generation of a mid-brain organoid including an A9 neuron. Specifically, the methods comprising: introducing an input cell into a cell culture medium comprising hyaluronic acid, wherein the input cell comprises an embryonic stem cell, an induced pluripotent stem cell, or a neural progenitor cell; transferring the input cell to a cell culture device; and culturing the cell in the cell culture device for at least 7 days. This disclosure further describes methods for using the organoids.

Abstract: Methods of preparing naive human pluripotent stem cells are described. The methods include the use of xeno-free media and do not include the use of feeder cells.

Abstract: Methods of gene correction, methods of generating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and methods of deriving multi-lineage cell types with therapeutic value. In some embodiments, the gene correction affects the expression and/or function of the functional type VII collagen protein (C7).

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for providing lysosomal enzymes to a subject by administering stem cells, preferably Multipotent Adult Progenitor Cells (MAPCs). The invention further relates to methods for treating lysosomal storage disorders by administering stem cells.

Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, polynucleotides, cells, compositions, and treatment methods that involve channeling a genomic nucleotide sequence. Generally, the method includes introducing a donor polynucleotide and a nucleotide that encodes an enzyme that cuts at least one strand of DNA into a cell that has a genomic sequence in need of editing, allowing the enzyme to cut at least one strand of the genomic sequence, and allowing the donor sequence to replace the genomic sequence in need of editing.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for treating pathological conditions associated with an undesirable inflammatory component, including graft-versus-host disease. The invention is generally directed to reducing inflammation by administering cells that express and/or secrete prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). The invention is also directed to drug discovery methods to screen for agents that modulate the ability of the cells to express and/or secrete PGE2, such as PGE2 receptor agonists. The invention is also directed to cell banks that can be used to provide cells for administration to a subject, the banks comprising cells having desired levels of PGE2 expression and/or secretion. The invention is also generally directed to delivering cells directly to lymphohematopoietic tissue, such as spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow. The invention is, thus, also directed to a method for treating inflammation by administering cells directly into sites of lymphohematopoiesis, such as spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow.
