Abstract

Described herein are compositions and methods of using modified placental tissue to achieve endogenous and exogenous therapeutic effects. When applied to an injured or diseased organ or body part, the modified placental tissue elicit stem cell recruitment and/or localization directly to or proximate to the site of application. Also described is a novel vacuum drying device and the use thereof.

Claims

1. A vacuum dehydration device comprising:

(i) a drying housing defining a drying chamber and defining inflow and outflow apertures; and

(ii) inside the drying chamber, a porous drying board placed on top of a vacuum table, wherein the drying board has a first surface receiving an object to be dehydrated and a second surface opposing to the first surface and attaching to the vacuum table.
