His innovative work has the potential to impact medical treatments and regenerative medicine.
Latest Patents
Michael Ian Phillips holds a patent for "Enriched stem cell and progenitor cell populations, and methods of producing and using such populations." This invention provides a novel method to isolate and expand pure progenitor and stem cells from primary tissue explants. The method produces a population enriched in multipotent functional progenitor and stem cells, free of contaminating fibroblasts and other cell types. The cardiac progenitor and stem cells isolated by this method maintain their self-renewal and clonogenic character in vitro. They can differentiate into normal cells in the myocardium, including cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells, after transplantation into ischemic hearts. This invention also includes substantially pure populations of multipotent progenitor and stem cells, such as cardiac progenitor and stem cells, and their use to treat and prevent diseases and injuries, including those resulting from myocardial infarction.
