Abstract: Provided herein are methods of producing natural killer (NK) cells and/or ILC3 cells using a three-stage expansion and differentiation method with media comprising stem cell mobilizing factors. Also provided herein are methods of suppressing tumor cell proliferation using the NK cells and/or ILC3 cells and the NK cell and/or ILC3 cell populations produced by the three-stage methods described herein, as well as methods of treating individuals having cancer or a viral infection, comprising administering the NK cells and/or ILC3 cells and the NK cell and/or ILC3 cell populations produced by the three-stage methods described herein to an individual having the cancer or viral infection.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are new aromatic compounds, compositions that include one or more aromatic compounds, and methods of synthesizing the same. Also disclosed herein are methods of increasing and/or expanding cells, including stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells, progenitor cells, and placenta or cord blood-derived cells, with one or more compounds or compositions described herein. Also disclosed herein are methods of increasing and/or expanding differentiated hematopoietic cells with one or more compounds or compositions described herein.

Abstract: The present invention provides an induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell, or population of iPS cells, wherein the cell or cells giving rise to the iPS cell(s) are obtained from human postpartum tissue or cells, wherein the iPS cell(s) have increased levels of one or more factors selected from Group I: an Oct family member, a Sox family member, a Klf family member, a Myc family member, Nanog, Lin28, and combinations thereof. The present invention also provides differentiated cells derived from the cells of the invention and compositions, including pharmaceutical compositions comprising the cells of the invention. The invention further provides uses of the cells of the invention, e.g., in the treatment of a subject suffering from a disease of disorder. The invention additionally provides methods of generating iPS cell(s) from postpartum tissue, such as the cells of the invention.
