Abstract: Methods are provided for distinguishing a cardiomyocyte subset in a heterogeneous cellular sample. Aspects of the methods include contacting the heterogeneous cellular sample with a cell surface marker specific binding member, and then distinguishing a cardiomyocyte subset of the cellular sample based on binding to the cell surface marker specific binding member. Also provided are devices, compositions and kits that fmd use in performing the subject methods.

Abstract: The inventors disclose methods and systems that provide for the isolation and purification of neurons directly from heterogeneous cell cultures. The expression of various cell adhesion molecules was examined in pluripotent stem cells. Changes in the expression of one or more of these molecules correlates with the progression of cells from non-lineage committed to neural cells. Using one or more antibodies for these molecules in combination with antibodies specific for CD200 will enable one to identify and isolate neurons from a population cells.

Abstract: The medically equippable walker device provides numerous important features to aid a patient in ambulation and in personal medical equipment carriage. The inverted U's may provide wheels in front and feet in the rear so that a user can easily walk as desired, by tilting the walker off of the feet, and also maintain stability when stopped by allowing the feet to be firmly planted. One side of the device provides two cross rails that are ideal for the sleeves to slideably adjust for desired positioning of a ring and a basket to hold an oxygen tank securely. The second side inverted U holds like upper and lower cross rails with an adjustably positioned rail between. Any number of right angled supports are provided for the carriage of various medical equipment such as IV bags and urine bags, for example.
