Abstract: The invention provides isoform-selective anti-TGF? antibodies and methods of using the same. In particular, isoform-selective anti-TGF?2, anti-TGF?3, and anti-TGF?2/3 monoclonal antibodies are provided, e.g., for the treatment of fibrosis and other TGF?-related disorders.

Abstract: A light therapeutic device for an affected part is provided. The light therapeutic device includes an optical element providing light with at least one specific wavelength for treatment of the affected part. When the optical element contacts the affected part, the optical element has a shape corresponding to the shape of the affected part.

Abstract: Autologous cultured keratinocytes are grown on a biosynthetic and biocompatible substratum following pre-seeding with autologous or allogenic dermal fibroblasts. The resultant composite material may then be applied on the neodermis of artificial skin which had been previously engrafted on the patient. The composite material, and specifically Composite Biocompatible Skin Graft (CBSG) material comprises autologous keratinocytes and allogenic or autologous dermal fibroblasts grown on Laserskin. A method for cultivating the CBSG includes the application of dermal fibroblasts onto the substratum as a feeder layer and then the inoculation of autologous keratinocytes on the resultant structure. A method for engraftment comprises first applying an artificial skin with a protective silicone membrane on a wound area, thereby allowing vascularization; and following vascularization, removing the silicone membrane and engrafting the CBSG material onto the vascularized artificial skin.
