  • Patent number: 11865227
    Abstract: A bone implant comprising cancellous bone that is essentially free of blood cells, and which has been treated with at least one loosening agent, such as collagenase or a digestive enzyme, for a time and at a concentration to loosen the osteogenic cells in the cancellous bone matrix. The osteogenic cells in the matrix are viable cells. The treatment of the cancellous bone with at least one loosening agent enables the osteogenic cells to be more available for carrying out their osteogenic function and to provide for an increased rate of bone formation. Such implant also may include demineralized bone, such as demineralized cortical bone, which enhances the bone regenerative capacity of the cancellous bone.

  • Patent number: 11821004
    Abstract: Mesenchymal stem cells which express TNF-? receptor Type I in an amount of at least 13 pg/106 cells. Such mesenchymal stem cells inhibit the proliferation of lymphocytes and may be employed, in particular, in the treatment of graft-versus-host disease.

  • Publication number: 20230274795
    Abstract: Predictive engineering of a sample derived from a genetically optimized non-human donor suitable for xenotransplantation into a human having improved quality or performance is described. A training data set is constructed from a series of libraries, including at least one library comprising genomic, proteomic, and research data specific to non-humans. A predictive machine learning model is developed based on the constructed training data set and utilized to obtain a predicted quality or performance of a plurality of sequences for a candidate sample from the non-human donor specific to a human patient or patient population. A subset of sequences is selected for evaluation from the plurality of sequences based on the predicted quality or performance and candidate samples are designed derived from the non-human donor using the selected subset of sequences.
