  • Mesenchymal stem cells and uses therefor
    Publication number: 20080095749
    Abstract: Methods of treating autoimmune diseases, allergic responses, cancer, inflammatory diseases, or fibrosis in an animal, promoting would healing, repairing epithelial damage and promoting angiogenesis in an organ or tissue of an animal by administering to the animal mesenchymal stem cells in an effective amount.
    Type: Application
    Filed: March 22, 2007
    Publication date: April 24, 2008
    Inventors: Sudeepta Aggarwal, Mark Pittenger, Timothy Varney, Alla Danilkovitch
  • Cardiac muscle regeneration using mesenchymal stem cells
    Publication number: 20070003530
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing cardiomyocytes in vivo by administering to the heart of an individual a cardiomyocyte producing amount of mesenchymal stem cells. These cells can be administered as a liquid injectible or as a preparation of cells in a matrix which is or becomes solid or semi-solid. The cells can be genetically modified to enhance myocardial differentiation and integration. Also disclosed is a method for replacing cells ex vivo in a heart valve for implantation.
