Treating Cardiovascular Tissue
US Patent:
2008021, Sep 4, 2008
Filed:
Jul 29, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/572874
Inventors:
Andre Terzic - Rochester MN, US

Atta Behfar - Rochester MN, US
Assignee:
Mayo Foundation For Medical Education And Research - Rochester MN
International Classification:
A61K 38/20, A61K 35/12, A01N 1/02, A61P 9/00, C12Q 1/02, C12N 5/06
US Classification:
424 852, 424 937, 435 11, 435325, 435 29
Abstract:
This document provides methods and materials for treating cardiovascular tissue. For example, stem cells, compositions containing stem cells, methods for obtaining stem cells, compositions for generating stem cells expressing particular markers, and methods for repairing cardiovascular tissue are provided.
Methods And Materials For Providing Cardiac Cells
US Patent:
2008001, Jan 24, 2008
Filed:
Feb 13, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/674461
Inventors:
Andre Terzic - Rochester MN, US
Atta Behfar - Rochester MN, US
Atta Behfar - Rochester MN, US
Assignee:
Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research - Rochester MN
International Classification:
C12N 5/06, A61K 39/00
US Classification:
424 931, 435377
Abstract:
This document provides methods and materials relating to cardiac cells. For example, this document provides methods and materials that can be used to obtain cells having the ability to differentiate into cardiomyocytes. Such cells can be used to repair damaged heart tissue. For example, cells having the ability to differentiate into cardiomyocytes can be used to repair or regenerate heart tissue in patients with a cardiac condition (e.g., ischemic cardiomyopathy, myocardial infarction, or heart failure).

International Classification:
C12Q 1/68
US Classification:
435 61
Abstract:
This document is related to a method for determining the cardio-generative potential of mammalian cells which comprises the assessment of a CARdiac generation Potential Index (CARPI) as a function of the quantification of the expression of genes of said cells. It also relates to a method for quantitatively assessing the modification of this cardio-generative potential and the cardiogenic potential of a treatment aiming at cellular differentiation.
