Devices, bandages, kits and methods are described that can control or regulate the mechanical environment of a wound to ameliorate scar and/or keloid formation. The mechanical environment of a wound includes stress, strain, and any combination of stress and strain. The control of a wound's mechanical environment can be active, passive, dynamic, or static. The devices are configured to be removably secured to a skin surface in proximity to the wound site and shield the wound from endogenous and/or exogenous stress.

606153, 606154
Abstract:
Disclosed are compositions, methods, and kits for joining together non-conjoined lumens in a patient's body including vascular lumens. More particularly, in various aspects, this invention provides compositions, methods, and kits for joining such non-conjoined lumens, including small lumens typically requiring microsurgical technique.

"Millions of times a year, orthopedic surgeons see torn cartilage in a joint and have to take it out because cartilage doesn't heal well, but that lack of cartilage predisposes the patient to arthritis down the road," co-senior author Michael Longaker, professor of the Stanford University, said in a

Body may be able to 'coach' transplanted stem cells to differentiate appropriately
"Before we can use these cells, we have to differentiate, or 'coach,' them down a specific developmental pathway," said Michael Longaker, MD, the Deane P. and Louise Mitchell Professor in the School of Medicine. "But there's always a question as to exactly how to do that, and how many developmental
