Title:
PLURIPOTENT STEM CELL DERIVED FROM CARDIAC TISSUE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/093276
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a stem cell applicable to a regenerative therapy. Also disclosed is a technique for regenerative therapy using the cell. A piece of a cardiac tissue removed is treated with an enzyme to produce a cell suspension. The cells suspension is then subjected to any one of the following procedures (1) to (3) to produce pluripotent cells: (1) isolation of cells by density gradient method; (2) suspension culture in a medium supplemented with a fibroblast growth factor and an epithelial cell growth factor; and (3) selective isolation of cells forming floating spheres. The pluripotent cells can be used to perform a regenerative therapy.
