Abstract: The invention relates to the treatment of various injuries, disorders, dysfunctions, diseases, and the like of the brain with MAPCs, particularly in some aspects, to the treatment of the same resulting from hypoxia, including that caused by systemic hypoxia and that caused by insufficient blood supply. In some further particulars the invention relates, for example, to the treatment of hypoxic ischemic brain injury with MAPCs, in children for example, and to the treatment of cortical infarcts and stroke with MAPCs in adults, for example.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions that improve the success of organ transplantation. The methods and compositions are directed to exposing a desired organ to stem cells prior to, during, and/or after transplantation. In one embodiment, the stem cells reduce the deleterious effects of ischemia on an organ designated to be harvested for transplantation or that has been harvested for transplantation. In another embodiment in which an organ designated for transplantation is perfused ex vivo, the method involves reducing ischemic reperfusion injury by perfusing the organ with a medium that contains stem cells.

Abstract: The invention is generally directed to a method of enhancing proliferation of T regulatory cells (Tregs) in vitro, comprising contacting Tregs with cells (I), or conditioned medium from the cells, in the presence of one or more Treg stimulation agents. The Treg stimulation agent(s) is present in an amount and for a time effective to stimulate proliferation of the Tregs. The cells (I) are present in an amount and for a time effective to enhance proliferation of the Tregs. The cells (I) are non-embryonic stem, non-germ cells characterized by one or more of the following: extended replication in culture and express markers of extended replication, express markers of pluripotentiality, and have broad differentiation potential, are not tumorigenic or transformed, and have a normal karyotype. The invention is also directed to methods for immune modulation using the proliferated Tregs, cell banks, drug discovery methods, populations, and compositions of the proliferated Tregs.
