Abstract: Disclosed is a cell-derived extracellular matrix (ECM) derived in vitro from cells isolated from amniotic fluid, and methods of use for the isolation, maintenance, and proliferation of adherent cells including stem cells, as well as for the differentiation of stem cells.

Abstract: Methods of, treatments using, and devices for restoring the regenerative capability for mesenchymal stem cells and isolating and expanding a small subpopulation of less defective mesenchymal stem cells from the bone marrow stromal cells of people with decreased quality and/or quantity of mesenchymal stem cells, such as elderly people.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of using a cell-derived extracellular matrix derived in-vitro from cells isolated from amniotic fluid (AFC-ECM) for the maturation of immature cardiomyocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (immature hiPSC-CMs) in culture forming mature cardiomyocytes. Also disclosed is a cell construct comprising a monolayer of these mature cardiomyocytes on an AFC-ECM useful for cardiotoxicity and/or proarrhythmic screening assays of drug compounds. Also disclosed are methods for determining the cardiotoxicity and/or proarrhythmic effect of a drug compound in vitro using such cell constructs.

Abstract: A cycling control system designed to facilitate the operation of all cycle functions with a single hand. The controls are intended to allow individuals with unilateral weakness to steer, shift gears, and brake on any bicycle or tricycle. The system includes a handlebar that either replaces or attaches to existing handlebars. The handlebar grip is located adjacent to the brake and gear controls such that the user may operate all functions without ever having to remove his or her hand from the controls.
