Abstract: Disclosed are novel means of enhancing efficacy of pancreatic islet transplantation through administration of regenerative T cells concurrently with modification of the local microenvironment to provide a tolerogenic and angiogenic milieu. In one embodiment, the liver microenvironment is prepared for receipt of pancreatic islets by administration of tolerogenic cells antigen presenting cells, subsequently followed by administration of T cells and/or T regulatory cells conditioned by regenerative cells, and finally pancreatic islets are administered. In other embodiments devices are provided which allow for concurrent administration of pancreatic islets together with T cells and/or T regulatory cells that have been conditioned with regenerative cells. In another embodiment, the administration of T cells and/or T regulatory cells conditioned by regenerative cells is after administration of therapeutic pancreatic islets.

Abstract: Disclosed are means, methods and compositions of matter useful for prevention of space flight associated bone density loss. In one embodiment, the invention provides cellular populations capable of suppressing osteoclast function and/or stimulating osteoblast activity. The use of mesenchymal stem cell populations alone, or more preferably, selected by expression of CD56 protein are disclosed. Cells may be administered systemically, or locally through the use of various matrices disclosed in this invention.

Abstract: Cell populations and methods of use of mononuclear cells (CMNCs) obtained from dissociated vascular lobules of a perinatal tissue cultured to confluency under hypoxia sufficient to induce translocation of HIF-1 alpha.

Abstract: Disclosed are means, methods and compositions of matter useful for quantifying the potency of regenerative therapeutics based on utilization of immunotherapies to induce tissue repair. In one embodiment said immunotherapy with regenerative activity is a T regulatory cell based therapy for stroke whose potency is quantified by assessment of one or more from the following: a) basal production of regenerative factors; b) induced production of regenerative factors; c) ability to prevent apoptosis of a target cell of interest; d) ability to stimulation proliferation of a target cell; and e) ability to induce proliferation of a progenitor cell belonging to tissue type of which therapy is desired.

Abstract: The invention provides means, methods, and compositions of matter useful for treatment of viral induced sexual dysfunction. In one embodiment the invention teaches the use of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells as a source of endothelial repair in penile or clitoral tissues that has been damaged by viral causes. In one embodiment, said viral cause is COVID-19 infection. In some embodiments the invention discloses means of maintaining and/or increasing sexual function, in some cases the invention describes preservation of tissue mass and/or size by administration of regenerative cells. Said cells may be autologous, allogeneic or xenogeneic. In some embodiments the invention teaches the utilization of derivatives of regenerative cells such as exosomes and/or conditioned media.

Abstract: Disclosed are novel method of inducing tissue regeneration through administration of gamma delta T cells that have been endowed regenerative activity. In one embodiment said regenerative active is bestowed upon said cells by culture with a regenerative cell population. In other embodiments a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) is transfected which induces generation of regenerative substances upon activation of said CAR. Regenerative factors useful for the treatment of the invention depend on the condition for which treatment is desired, for example, in neurological conditions production of brain derived neurotrophic factor is produced upon activation of said CAR, wherein said CAR recognizes antigens or neoantigens associated with neuronal injury.

Abstract: A method of creating antigen-specific, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells capable of secreting regenerative growth factors upon activation of said CAR. In one embodiment said regenerative CAR-T cells possess a CAR capable of selectively recognizing damaged tissue. In one embodiment said CAR recognizes damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) such as ATP, HMGB-1, matricryptins, cold-inducible RNA-binding protein, histones and mitochondrial DNA. Upon activation of said CAR said regenerative CAR-T cell is induced to produce one or more regenerative growth factors. In some embodiments the invention provides a suicide gene in said regenerative CAR-T cells in order to remove said cells after their therapeutic purpose is completed.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, means and compositions of matter useful for treatment of liver failure using ex vivo reprogrammed immune cells. In one embodiment, cells of the recipient (autologous) are cocultured with a regenerative cell population alone or in the presence of one or more adjuvants. Said adjuvants enhance transfer of regenerative activity from said mesenchymal stem cells to said immune cells. In one embodiment said ex vivo reprogrammed immune cells are capable of inducing death or inactivation of hepatic stellate cells. In other embodiments, said immune cells provide antifibrotic activity to induce suppression of liver cirrhosis. In other embodiments, said immune cells provide for growth factors to enhance hepatic regeneration.
