Cells producing stem cell proliferation factor
Patent Number: 5650299This patent covers a cell line that produces a factor associated with inducing proliferation of stem cells. If this factor is not already commercialized, which it appears it is not, this patent is a great tool for starting a biotech company.
Stromal cell lines from human bone marrow and their use
Patent Number: 5658761This patent covers immortalized stromal cells, which can be used for gene therapy. These stromal cells appear to be similar to mesenchymal stem cells in some ways.
Use of neuro-glial cell lines for transplantation therapy
Patent Number: 5869463This patent covers a type of stem cell that is isolated from fetal brain that is useful for the treatment of neurodegenerative disease.
Blood-borne mesenchymal cells
Patent Number: 6174526This patent teaches the use of circulating mesenchymal stem cells for treatment of wounds.
Blood-borne mesenchymal cells
Patent Number: 5846796This patent covers mesenchymal stem cells that are circulating in the blood. This patent is interesting since the cells covered contain the hematopoietic stem cell marker CD34, which is usually not believed to be expressed on mesenchymal stem cells. Additionally, the marker CD45, is usually a hematopoietic associated marker, but it too is...
Blood-borne mesenchymal cells
Patent Number: 5804446This patent covers a type of stem cell that circulates and is mesenchymal in nature. The cell phenotype is CD34+ and CD45+, both being markers of hematopoietic and not classical mesenchymal stem cells.
Blood-borne mesenchymal cells
Patent Number: 5654186This patent covers a special population of stem cells that circulate in peripheral blood. Although the patent uses the word "mesenchymal" to describe the cells, these may not be true mesenchymal cells since they possess hematopoietic markers such as CD34 and CD45.
Parthenogenic oocyte activation
Patent Number: 6194202This patent covers the generation of embryonic stem cells through parthenogenesis in cows. Parthenogenesis involves activating the oocyte to differentiate in absence of sperm.
Parthenogenic oocyte activation
Patent Number: 6077710This patent covers the generation of embryos through virgin birth or parthenogenesis. Essentially if an oocyte is activated through the induction of calcium flux it can generate an embryo-like structure which can be used to derive stem cells.
Parthenogenic oocyte activation
Patent Number: 5496720Parthenogenesis comes from Greece and essentially means "virgin birth". This patent teaches how to induce parthenogenesis in a bovine oocyte through induction of calcium flux. The induction of parthenogenesis leads to activation of the oocyte and can be used as a method of generating autologous stem cells for woman.
