Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying a cell suspension with therapeutic potential for skin regeneration and related compositions are disclosed herein. In some variations, a method may include receiving a cell suspension that comprises a population of viable cells and non-viable cells, then measuring a value indicative of at least one characteristic of the cell suspension, such as but not limited to one or more of total cell count, total cell viability, cell viability percentage, and median live cell diameter. A cell suspension composition having therapeutic potential may comprise a cell suspension met certain thresholds relating to total cell count, total viable cell count, cell viability percentage, and median live cell diameter.

Abstract: A bioactive suspension derived from freshly disaggregated tissue is provided, as well as related methods of formulation and use. The bioactive suspension may comprise a cell-free supernate derived from epidermal and dermal tissue that has been enzymatically and mechanically disaggregated, then separated, and which may contain tissue regeneration factors known to speed healing. The bioactive suspension may further comprise genetically-modified treatment cells, wild type cells, or both, and may be combined with one or more scaffolding elements to form a bioactive suspension combination product suitable for treatment of a cutaneous defect. Synthetic bioactive suspensions and bioactive suspension combination products are also provided.

Abstract: Devices and methods for activating a therapeutic composition, delivering a therapeutic composition to a specific region or tissue in a body, and containing a therapeutic composition within a body cavity are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a therapeutic capsule is shown having an outer element defining an interior chamber and including a matrix disposed therein and wherein the interior chamber is elongated along a chamber axis.

Abstract: A bioengineered skin substitute was developed that contains a microfabricated basal lamina analog that recapitulates the native microenvironment found at the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ).
