  • Patent number: 8779089
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for tissue repair are provided including cell binding peptides and growth factor binding peptides. The cell binding peptides bind to one or more of stem cells, fibroblasts, or endothelial cells. The growth factor binding peptides include platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) binding peptides and growth differentiation factor (GDF) binding peptides. The tissue for repair includes tendon, muscle, connective tissue, ligament, cardiac tissue, vascular tissue, or dermis. Implantable devices for tissue repair are provided to which the cell and growth factor binding peptides are attached, such as acellular extracellular matrix having attached binding peptide.

  • Publication number: 20110117169
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for capturing cells. Cell binding peptides are provided that bind to one or more of stem cells, fibroblasts, or endothelial cells. In the methods, a sample containing cells is contacted with a cell binding peptide attached to a substrate, and the cells present in the sample are captured onto the substrate through binding to the cell binding peptide.
