Stem Cell Related Patent Number US6927060
| Title: | Methods to prepare and use epidermal stem cells | | Inventors: | Bickenbach, Jackie R.; Iowa City, IA, USA | | Summary: | Described herein are methods for the preparation and isolation of mammalian epidermal stem cells via the separation of the cell population from cell populations not having stem cells, in a sample comprising mammalian epidermal cells. Further disclosed are methods of isolating the mammalian epidermal stem cells obtained from mammalian epidermal tissue, and contacting the cells with an agent that binds DNA in viable cells and an agent that binds non-viable cells. Therapeutic applications in tissue bioengineering are included. | | Abstract: | A method to prepare epidermal stem cells, and isolated epidermal stem cells, is provided. Also provided are methods of using epidermal stem cells, e.g., for cell based therapies. | | US Patent Website: | Click Here for Full Text of Patent | | Title Number: | US6927060 | | Application Number: | US2001000820198 | | Date Filed: | 28/03/2001 | | Date Published: | 09/08/2005 | | Assignee: | University of Iowa Research Foundation, Iowa City, IA, USA |
