Disclosed are means of inducing and accelerating neurological recovery subsequent to a stroke through administration of amniotic fluid derived stem cells. In one embodiment stem cells are isolated from amniotic fluid and expanded under conditions allowing for expression of SSEA3, SSEA4, Tra1-60, Tra1-81, Tra2-54, Oct-4 and CD105. Said cells are subsequently administered into a patient having undergone a stroke, so as to induce direct regeneration (through transdifferentiation and replacement of neural tissue), as well as indirect regeneration (through production of growth factors that augment endogenous regenerative mechanisms while inhibiting degenerative mechanisms). In some embodiments factors produced by said amniotic fluid stem cells may be utilized instead of cells themselves. Said factors may include proteins, peptides, conditioned media, exosomes, or microvesicles.

Disclosed are means, methods and compositions of matter useful for prevention and/or reversion of type 1 diabetes by upregulation of myeloid suppressor cell activity in a mammal suffering from and/or at risk of developing type 1 diabetes. In one embodiment the invention teaches administration of immune cells that have been conditioned by exposure to regenerative cells, and/or cultured in the presence of factors produced from regenerative cells. In one embodiment said regenerative cells are umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells. In one embodiment, immune cells that have been exposed to said regenerative cells are administered together with agents known to enhance myeloid suppressor cell activity. In another embodiment immune cells are administered together with exogenous myeloid suppressor cells. 2

Methods of reducing death, destruction or rejection of beta islets along with peripheral receptors in patients before they have diabetes, wherein said method comprising the steps of: a) obtaining a patient in need of immune cell therapy; b) administering to said patient one or more immunomodulatory cells; c) assessing the prevention and transition to diabetes.

Methods of improving muscle receptor sensitivity to insulin muscle receptors, reducing death, destruction or rejection of beta islets in patients having insulin dependent diabetes, wherein said method comprising the steps of: a) obtaining a patient in need of immune cell therapy; b) administering to said patient immunomodulatory cells; c) assessing the prevention and transition to diabetes requiring insulin.

Disclosed are methods, means and compositions of matter useful for treatment of heart failure, and/or post infarct pathological remodeling using ex vivo reprogrammed immune cells. In one embodiment, cells of the recipient (autologous) are cocultured with a regenerative cell population alone or in the presence of one or more adjuvants. Said adjuvants enhance transfer of regenerative activity from said mesenchymal stem cells to said immune cells. In one embodiment said ex vivo reprogrammed immune cells are capable of inducing death or inactivation of cardiac fibrotic cells. In other embodiments, said immune cells provide antifibrotic activity to induce suppression of cardiac fibrosis. In other embodiments, said immune cells provide for growth factors to enhance cardiac regeneration.

Novel populations of canine derived stem cells useful for treatment across allogeneic barriers. The stem cells can be of mesenchymal lineage optimized to possess enhanced proliferative activity in vitro and in vivo without significant loss of therapeutic functionality. Said therapeutic activities include angiogenesis, stimulation of growth factor production, antifibrotic effects, neurogenesis, immune modulation, and antiapoptotic effects.

Compositions of matter, interventions and protocols for treatment of degenerative disc disease through administration of B regulatory cells and/or stimulation of B regulatory cell generation. B regulatory cells can be administered intradiscally in order to support regenerative processes of endogenous nucleus pulposus cells or administered regenerative cells. Peri-spinal administration of B regulatory cells can alter the microenvironment to support activity of therapeutic cells capable of increasing extracellular matrix quality and quantity. B regulatory cells can be expanded in vitro from progenitor cells including induced pluripotent stem cells, or may be utilized from adult progenitor sources such as peripheral blood, cord blood, and bone marrow.

Methods, systems, and compositions of matter for detection, analysis and treatment of biological, chemical and radiation exposure using artificial intelligence-based systems including fuzzy logical and/or machine learning. A system capable of compiling physical, biochemical, hematological, psychological and neural datapoints, analyzing said data points and creating actionable therapeutic interventions in a graded manner based on invasiveness and probability of success. Optimized biological intervention to chemical, radiation and biochemical threats using stem cells, T regulatory cells and induced pluripotent stem cells.

Disclosed are means and compositions of matter for treating degenerative disc disease and associated pain in part by stimulating enhanced local perfusion and reduction of inflammation. In one embodiment administration of inducible pluripotent stem cell derived mesenchymal stem cells is performed wherein said cells are optimized for migration and/or retention into perispinal environment. In some embodiments said mesenchymal stem cells are optimized for enhanced angiogenesis and/or suppression of inflammation. In another embodiment inducible pluripotent stem cell derived T regulatory cells are administered alone or with said mesenchymal stem cells in order to elicit enhanced perispinal perfusion while concurrently reducing inflammation.
