Stem Cell Related Patent Number US6863900
| Title: | Regeneration and augmentation of bone using mesenchymal stem cells | | Inventors: | Kadiyala, Sudhakar; Baltimore, MD, USA
Bruder, Scott P.; Owings Mills, MD, USA | | Summary: | Described herein are methods of regeneration and augmentation of bone via the use of isolated human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and a medium which supports their differentiation into osteogenic cells. The invention relates to methods and compositions for augmenting bone formation by administering isolated hMSCs with a ceramic material or matrix, or via the administration of fresh, whole marrow, or via combinations thereof in a resorbable biopolymer which supports their differentiation into the osteogenic lineage. Therapeutic applications are included, such as in the treatment of muscle- and bone-related injury or dysfunction. | | Abstract: | Disclosed are compositions and methods for augmenting bone formation by administering isolated human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) with a ceramic material or matrix or by administering hMSCs; fresh, whole marrow; or combinations thereof in a resorbable biopolymer which supports their differentiation into the osteogenic lineage. Contemplated is the delivery of (i) isolated, culture-expanded, human mesenchymal stem cells; (ii) freshly aspirated bone marrow; or (iii) their combination in a carrier material or matrix. | | US Patent Website: | Click Here for Full Text of Patent | | Title Number: | US6863900 | | Application Number: | US2002000840284 | | Date Filed: | 26/06/2002 | | Date Published: | 08/03/2005 | | Assignee: | Osiris Therapeutics, Inc., Baltimore, MD, USA |
