A tissue storage solution includes hypothermic storage compositions and methods. The hypothermic storage composition includes media containing Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) and albumin. A method of hypothermically storing tissue includes storing such tissue in a storage medium including DMEM and albumin. A method for wound or defect treatment includes applying tissue, stored in a hypothermic storage medium containing DMEM and albumin, to the site of such wound or defect.

This invention describes a modified electrospinning method for making uniformly patterned and porous nanofibrous scaffolds that can be utilized in a variety of applications. While traditional electrospinning method uses a foil collector that generates compact layers of nanofibrous structures, resulting on the superficial cell growth and differentiation, the present method comprises adopting additional patterned film(s) on top of the conventional collector to make a patterned porous structure of nanofibrous scaffolds that are capable of supporting cell growth. For example, the method uses a double layered collector composed of a water soluble stabilizer film mounted on a foil to make a uniformly patterned and porous nanofibrous membrane sheets, which enhance both cell growth and attachment.

The present invention relates to the isolation, propagation and use of prenatal stem cells. The cells are CD105 negative. In certain embodiments the cells are also SSEA-4 positive or negative, and c-kit negative. The cells may be isolated from a prenatal sample, for instance third trimester amniotic fluid or placental membrane. The cells may be combined with a biologically compatible solution or a biologically compatible matrix and utilized to treat a human subject. The invention also contemplated enriched populations of prenatal stem cells. The enriched cell population may be propagated in the appropriate culture medium and the resulting progeny cells utilized therapeutic applications.
