Abstract: The present invention provides composition and methods for the treatment of cancer or infectious diseases in a human. The invention includes the generation and administration of gamma delta T cells that express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) comprising an antigen binding domain, a hinge domain, a transmembrane domain, a costimulatory signalling domain with the inclusion or not of a CD3 zeta signalling domain. Expression of CAR sequence omitting the CD3 zeta signalling domain in gamma delta T cells, provides for a CAR-T therapy in vivo, which will effect cytolysis only on target cells providing ligands for activation of the gamma delta T cell receptor (TCR).

Abstract: The present invention is based on the discovery that when a tooth primordium is inserted into a mammalian jaw and tooth formation follows, new alveolar bone around the new tooth forms. The present invention is based on the idea of stimulating new tooth formation via the implantation of tooth primordia at selected places in the jaw (e.g. at four points in the molar regions) to result in the formation of bony protuberances which could facilitate denture retention. The teeth may then be removed from the jaw of the patient to leave the new alveolar bone.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for inducing organ or tissue formation by delivering inductive cells into an organ or tissue regenerative cellular environment using a controlled delivery device. For the regeneration of hair, the method includes inducing hair follicle formation by delivering inductive cells into a dermal layer using a controlled delivery device. The present invention further provides a method for using a controlled delivery device for the delivery of inductive cells into an organ or tissue regenerative cellular environment to induce organ or tissue formation. The method for using the controlled delivery device includes delivering inductive cells into a dermal layer to induce hair follicle formation.
