Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides isolated stem cells of non-embryonic origin that can be maintained in culture in the undifferentiated state or differentiated to form cells of multiple tissue types. Also provided are methods of isolation and culture, as well as therapeutic uses for the isolated cells.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A cell culture comprising isolated expanded human non-embryonic, non-germ cells, the cells having undergone 22 cell doublings in culture, wherein the cells express CD90 and CD49c and one or more of sox-9, sox-11, hox-A5, and MSX-1, wherein the cell population is derived from human bone marrow. 2. The cell population of claim 1 , further expressing telomerase. 3. The cell population of claim 1 , wherein the cell population differentiates into cardiac muscle cells. 4. The cell population of claim 1 , expressing at least one trophic factor selected from the group consisting of IL-6, VEGF, MCP 1 and BDNF. 5. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the cell population of any of claims 1 - 4 .
