  • Method of isolating cells from umbilical cord
    Patent number: 7939323
    Abstract: The present invention relates a method for isolating four cell types from a single umbilical cord as pure cultures. These cell lines (epithelial cells, fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells) can be characterized and utilized in experimental models and for therapeutic purposes. Particularly, the umbilical cells isolated herein are used to form a tissue replacement or engineered living composition. Also, the isolated umbilical cells of the invention may have the potential of progenitor cells.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for improving functionality of tissue constructs
    Publication number: 20050079604
    Abstract: The present invention relates two new methods of improving the functionality of human or animal tissues by physically or biochemically treating the tissue prior to submitting it to different tests or before grafting it to a recipientpatient. Such a treated tissue is therefore rendered having a greater capability to resist to mechanical stress or shows a higher contractility.
