Abstract: The invention discloses for the first time pluripotent cells, including induced pluripotent stem cells, embryonic stem cells, hypo-immune pluripotent cells, cells that have been derived therefrom, and cells that have been bioligically differentiated therefrom into particular tissue lineages that are ABO blood type O Rhesus Factor negative or otherwise evade rejection resulting from blood type antigen mismatch. The invention further provides universally acceptable “off-the-shelf” pluripotent cells and derivatives thereof for generating or regenerating specific tissues and organs.

Abstract: The invention provides pluripotent cells that are used therapeutically for regenerating tissues but avoid rejection by subjects that receive them. In particular, the invention provides hypo-immunogenic pluripotent cells that avoid host immune rejection. The cells lack major immune antigens that trigger immune responses and are engineered to avoid phagocytic endocytosis. The invention further provides universally acceptable “off-the-shelf” pluripotent cells and derivatives thereof for generating or regenerating specific tissues and organs.

Abstract: Methods are provided for preventing, inhibiting, or treating intimal hyperplasia in a patient who has undergone a coronary bypass procedure that include providing a solution comprising DCA added to water; and administering the solution orally to a patient to prevent, inhibit, or treat intimal hyperplasia.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for preventing and treating pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. Aspects of the methods include administering to an individual having PH or at risk of developing PH a cell composition that is enriched for regulatory macrophages (Mregs). Also provided are systems, reagents, and kits that find use in practicing the subject methods.
