  • Publication number: 20130217118
    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.

  • Patent number: 8241898
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for the isolation, culture and use of highly regenerative somatic mammalian cells. The cells are very small, and have an undefined nuclear structure. The cells may be isolated from fetal or adult tissues, and are found in tissue including, without limitation, fetal dermal tissue, blood, and bone marrow. The cells are characterized as expressing one or more markers selected from E-cadherin, integrin ?1, CXCR4, CD90 and CD34, and may be selected on the basis of such expression patterns.

    Abstract: The present invention provides adipose-derived stem cells and lattices. In one aspect, the present invention provides a lipo-derived stem cell substantially free of adipocytes and red blood cells and clonal populations of connective tissue stem cells. The cells can be employed, alone or within biologically-compatible compositions, to generate differentiated tissues and structures, both in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, the cells can be expanded and cultured to produce 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 lipo-derived lattice substantially devoid of cells, which includes extracellular matrix material from adipose tissue. The lattice can be used as a substrate to facilitate the growth and differentiation of cells, whether in vivo or in vitro, into anlagen or even mature tissues or structures.

  • Publication number: 20100169132
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for receiving business data regarding an entity from various disparate sources, structuring the received data in an enterprise system and executing a business transaction using the structured data. The method involves receiving business data of an entity from a plurality of sources, determining a part of the business data that is relevant to a business process based on a business context from the plurality of sources and mapping the part of the business data to fields of a business object in an enterprise system. Further, a business object instance of the business object is created and a business transaction is executed using the business object instance.

  • Patent number: 6436260
    Abstract: This invention is directed to a process for electrocoating bulk articles to provide a corrosion protective coating and comprises the following steps: (1) the bulk articles to be coated are placed in an electrically conductive receiving container and the container and bulk articles are electrocoated with an aqueous electrocoating composition containing a film forming binder and electrically conductive components; (2) baking the coated bulk articles and the receiving container to form an electrically conductive coating on the bulk articles and the container and removing the coated bulk articles from the container; and (3) repeating steps (1) and (2) at least once without any intermediate cleaning of the receiving container having an electrically conductive coating. The advantage of the novel process of this invention is that the receiving container can be used at least twice and up to six times without any intermediate cleaning or removal of the applied electrocoating layer.
