Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) differentiate into neuron-like phenotypes in vitro and in vivo, engrafted into normal or denervated rat striatum. The BMSC did not remain localized to the site of the graft, but migrated throughout the brain and integrated into specific brain regions in various architectonic patterns. The most orderly integration of BMSC was in the laminar distribution of cerebellar Purkinje cells, where the BMSC-derived cells took on the Purkinje phenotype. The BMSC exhibited site-dependent differentiation and expressed several neuronal markers including neuron-specific nuclear protein, tyrosine hydroxylase and calbindin. BMSC can be used to target specific brain nuclei in strategies of neural repair and gene therapy.

Methods of establishing hematopoietic chimerism useful to correct hematological diseases and promote acceptance of organ transplants include administering busulfan, costimulation blockade, and readily attainable numbers of T-cell depleted bone marrow cells.

The invention is directed toward a sterile cartilage defect implant material comprising milled lyophilized allograft cartilage pieces ranging from 0.01 mm to 1.0 mm in size in a bioabsorbable carrier taken from a group consisting of sodium hyaluronate, hyaluronic acid and its derivatives, gelatin, collagen, chitosan, alginate, buffered PBS, Dextran or polymers with allogenic chondrocytes or bone marrow cells in an amount exceeding the natural occurrence of same in hyaline cartilage and adding a cell growth additive.

The present inventors discovered that brain-localizing cells exist in the progenitor cell fraction of bone marrow cells. They also elucidated various characteristics of the brain-localizing cells. When these cells are infused into the bloodstream, they circulate in the blood and directly translocate into the cerebral parenchyma from the bloodstream. Furthermore, the present inventors succeeded in developing methods for efficiently preparing brain-localizing cells from bone marrow or bone marrow cells. These methods can be applied to less-invasive regenerative medicines targeting the brain and using autologous cells.

The invention provides biologically active erythropoietin (EPO) conjugate compositions wherein EPO is covalently conjugated to a non-antigenic hydrophilic polymer covalently linked to an organic molecule that increases the circulating serum half-life of the composition. The invention thus relates to EPO derivatives described by the formula EPO-(X-Y)N where EPO is erythropoietin or its pharmaceutical acceptable derivatives having biological properties of causing bone marrow cells to increase production of reticulocytes and red blood cells, X is PEG or other water soluble polymers, Y is an organic molecule that increases the circulating half-life of the construct more than the PEG alone and N is an integer from 1 to 15. Other molecules may be included between EPO and X and between X and Y to provide the proper functionality for coupling or valency.

The invention discloses a method for detecting leukocytes in bone marrow slices based on regional recommendation convolution, which comprises the following steps: performing preprocessing, leukocyte frame selection and leukocyte category labeling, and increasing the number of data sets as a training data set; constructing a regional recommendation convolutional neural network model, taking a ResNet 50 network and an FPN network as a feature extraction network, connecting the output of the FPN network to an RPN network, and allowing the RPN to output a recommendation region to a Faster-RCNN network, and allowing the Faster-RCNN network to output the leukocyte region, and taking the leukocyte category and the category probability corresponding to the leukocyte region as prediction results; training the constructed regional recommendation convolutional neural network model, adjusting parameters until convergence, and obtaining a trained regional recommendation convolutional neural networkmodel; And taking the image of the bone marrow cell slice as input, and outputting a prediction result by the trained regional recommendation convolutional neural network model. The detection methodprovided by the invention is high in leukocyte detection accuracy and precision, and the indexes of the algorithm are measured by the accuracy rate and can reach more than 90%.

A method is shown for manufacturing silicon semiconductor nanowires on graphite cloth conducting substrates. The nanowires are grown on the substrate by first depositing a thin gold film on the graphite cloth using RF sputtering. The substrate structure is then exposed to dilute silane, resulting in a uniform coating of Si nanowires on the cloth. A method is also shown for growing calcified mineral phases on such nanowire surfaces as well as for the incorporation of anti-osteoporotic drugs or anti-bacterial agents onto the surface of the nanowires. Lastly, a method is shown for promoting the growth of bone-forming cells onto the nanowire materials by exposing specially treated nanowires to bone marrow cells.

Methods are provided to manipulate phagocytosis of cells, including hematopoietic cells, e.g. circulating hematopoietic cells, bone marrow cells, etc.; and solid tumor cells. In some embodiments of the invention the circulating cells are hematopoietic stem cells, or hematopoietic progenitor cells, particularly in a transplantation context, where protection from phagocytosis is desirable. In other embodiments the circulating cells are leukemia cells, particularly acute myeloid leukemia (AML), where increased phagocytosis is desirable.

The present invention relates to non-lethal methods of conditioning a recipient for bone marrow transplantation. In particular, it relates to the use of nonlethal doses of total body irradiation, total lymphoid irradiation, cell type-specific or cell marker-specific antibodies, especially antibodies directed to bone marrow stromal cell markers or the CD8 cell marker, cytotoxic drugs, or a combination thereof. The methods of the invention have a wide range of applications, including, but not limited to, the conditioning of an individual for hematopoietic reconstitution by bone marrow transplantation for the treatment of hematologic malignancies, hematologic disorders, autoimmunity, infectious diseases such as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and the engraftment of bone marrow cells to induce tolerance for solid organ, tissue and cellular transplantation.

Methods, systems and equipment for diagnosing or monitoring the progression or treatment of AML or MDS. This invention identifies a plurality of AML or MDS disease genes which are differentially expressed in bone marrow cells of AML or MDS patients as compared to disease-free humans. These AML or MDS disease genes can be used as molecular markers for detecting the presence or absence of AML or MDS. These genes can also be used for the early identification of MDS patients who eventually progress to AML.
