Method for treating cutaneous burn wounds using non-embryonic cells
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11918609B2) discloses a method for promoting cutaneous burn healing in a subject by administering specific cells in an effective amount and for a sufficient duration. These cells, referred to as cells (I), are non-embryonic non-germ cells that express CD90 and either oct4 or telomerase. Importantly, these cells are not transformed, tumorigenic, and possess a normal karyotype, ensuring their safety and efficacy in promoting healing.
Furthermore, the patent claims specify various aspects of the method, including the ability of the cells to differentiate into different cell types, the source of the cells (such as bone marrow or human-derived), the method of administration (topical, subcutaneous, injection), and the use of liquid cell suspension or reservoir for delivery. The method outlined in the patent aims to address cutaneous burns on the skin and underlying tissues, highlighting the potential of these specific cells in promoting healing in such conditions. Additionally, the patent emphasizes that the cells (I) are not genetically manipulated, further ensuring their natural and safe application in promoting cutaneous burn healing.
