  • Publication number: 20150376572
    Abstract: The present invention provides adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), adipose-derived stem cell-enriched fractions (ADSC-EF) and adipose-derived lattices, alone and combined with the ADSCs of the invention. In one aspect, the present invention provides an ADSC substantially free of adipocytes and red blood cells and clonal populations of connective tissue stem cells. The ADSCs can be employed, alone or within biologically-compatible compositions, to generate differentiated tissues and structures, both in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, the ADSCs can be expanded and cultured to produce molecules such as hormones, and to provide conditioned culture media for supporting the growth and expansion of other cell populations. In another aspect, the present invention provides a adipose-derived lattice substantially devoid of cells, which includes extracellular matrix material from adipose tissue.

  • Publication number: 20050256065
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for stabilizing a change in corneal curvature, stabilizing refractive error improvements and stabilizing (maintaining) unaided visual acuity improvements after corneal reshaping procedures. This stabilization process is accomplished by administering compositions containing at least one stabilizing ophthalmic agent to the cornea of the eye after a corneal reshaping procedure.
