The invention is directed to methods for treating nervous system injury and disease, in particular traumatic brain injury and degenerative nervous system disease. Such methods utilize novel compositions, including but not limited to trophic factor-secreting extraembryonic cells (herein referred to as TSE cells), including, but not limited to, amnion-derived multipotent progenitor cells (herein referred to as AMP cells) and conditioned media derived therefrom (herein referred to as amnion-derived cellular cytokine solution or ACCS), each alone or in combination with each other and/or other agents.

Methods for treating traumatic brain injury with amnion-derived cellular cytokine solution (ACCS) or amnion-derived multipotent progenitor (AMP) cells

The invention is directed to an improved medical device. In particular, the invention is directed to an improved medical device having a coating comprising novel cellular factor-containing solution compositions (referred to herein as CFS compositions), such CFS compositions including conditioned medium compositions obtained from culturing extraembryonic cytokine secreting cells (ECS cells), including Amnion-derived Cellular Cytokine Solution (referred to herein as ACCS) obtained from culturing Amnion-derived Multipotent Progenitor (AMP) cells, dispersed in a polymeric coating material.

Medical device

The invention is directed to methods for treating ocular contusion and blunt injury to the eye and for treating traumatic injury of the optic nerve. The invention is further directed to treating ocular contusion and blunt injury to the eye and for treating traumatic injury of the optic nerve by administering to a subject suffering from such conditions Amnion-derived Cellular Cytokine Solution (ACCS), including immediate-release, targeted-release, and sustained-release (SR) ACCS compositions (referred to herein as 'SR-ACCS' compositions) and/or Amnion-derived Multipotent Progenitor (AMP) cell compositions. Such administration includes intranasal administration of ACCS and/or AMP cells.

Methods for treating ocular contusion and blunt injury and traumatic injury to the optic nerve

The invention is directed to methods for accelerating the healing of connective tissue injuries and disorders. In particular, the invention is directed to accelerating the healing of injuries and disorders of tendons and ligaments. Such methods utilize novel compositions including, but not limited to, extraembryonic cytokine-secreting cells (herein referred to as ECS cells), including, but not limited to, Amnion-derived Multipotent Progenitor cells (herein referred to as AMP cells) and conditioned media derived therefrom (herein referred to as Amnion-derived Cellular Cytokine Solution or ACCS), including pooled ACCS, and Physiologic Cytokine Solution (PCS).

Methods for accelerating the healing of connective tissue injuries and disorders

The invention is directed to methods for treating cartilage disorders, diseases and injuries including, but not limited to, degenerative disc disease. The invention is also directed to methods for preventing cartilage disorders and diseases including, but not limited to, degenerative disc disease. The field of the invention is further directed to reducing inflammation associated with cartilage disorders, diseases and injuries including, but not limited to, degenerative disc disease.

Methods for treating cartilage disorders, diseases, and injuries

The invention is directed to novel cellular factor-containing solution compositions (referred to herein as 'CFS' compositions), including novel sustained-release cellular factor-containing solution compositions (referred to herein as 'SR-CFS' compositions), methods of making such novel compositions and uses thereof.

Methods to reduce scarring

The invention is directed to methods of promoting the healing of spinal cord injury. The invention is further directed to methods of minimizing the extent of scarring following spinal cord injury. Such methods utilize novel compositions, including but not limited to extraembryonic cytokine secreting cells (herein referred to as ECS cells), including, but not limited to, amnion-derived multipotent progenitor cells (herein referred to as AMP cells) and conditioned media derived therefrom (herein referred to as amnion-derived cellular cytokine solution or ACCS), each alone or in combination with each other and/or other agents.
