2 stem cell patents issued last week

View this message online Dear manoj kumar valluru, Last week 2 patents of relevance to the area of stem cells were issued. # 7,381,561 (Patent Spotlight), teaches how purify neural stem cells by using the marker CD49f. # 7,381,563 how inhibit graft versus host using interleukin-2 and TGF-beta.   Enriched central nervous system stem cell and progenitor cell populations, and methods for identifying, isolating and enriching for such populations     Patent Number: 7,381,561 Assignee | Inventor This patent covers methods of isolating neural stem cells using antibodies that bind CD49f. The first independent claim is very broad in that it is not restricted to originating material of adult or embryonic origin but simply covers a method of purifying a population by selecting for cells that initiate neurospheres in culture and express...[Read More] Ask a question OR leave your comments.     T regulatory cells that inhibit multiple sclerosis that are not T reg Wednesday June 4th, 2008 @ 11:00:21 EST Cambridge, MA - Multiple sclerosis is mediated by autoimmune T cell responses against components of the myelin basic sheath, for example myelin basic protein, myelin oligodendrocyte protein, and phospholipid protein.  Stem cell therapy, especially with universal donor mesenchymal stem cells or [Read More] Ask a question OR leave your comments.
