The present invention relates to methods of modulating mammalian stem cell and progenitor cell differentiation. The methods of the invention can be employed to regulate and control the differentiation and maturation of mammalian, particularly human stem cells along specific cell and tissue lineages. The methods of the invention relate to the use of certain small organic molecules to modulate the differentiation of stem or progenitor cell populations along specific cell and tissue lineages, and in particular, to the differentiation of embryonic-like stem cells originating from a postpartum placenta or for the differentiation of early progenitor cells to a granulocytic lineage. Finally, the invention relates to the use of such differentiated stem or progenitor cells in transplantation and other medical treatments.

Modulation of stem and progenitor cell differentiation, assays, and uses thereof

Thalidomide as an emerging immunotherapeutic agent

Structural development of biological response modifiers based on thalidomide.

A number of thalidomide metabolites having superior anti-angiogenic properties have now been isolated and identified. In addition, thalidomide analogs that mimic the effects of the isolated and identified active thalidomide metabolites, and variations of such thalidomide analogs, have been developed. Such thalidomide analog compounds show enhanced potency in the inhibition of undesirable angiogenesis without the undesirable effects of administration of thalidomide.

Analogs of thalidomide as potential angiogenesis inhibitors

Methods of treating, preventing or managing leukemias are disclosed. The methods encompass the administration of an immunomodulatory compound of the invention known as Revlimid® or lenalidomide. The invention further relates to methods of treatment using this compound with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, biological therapy or immunotherapy. Pharmaceutical compositions and single unit dosage forms suitable for use in the methods of the invention are also disclosed.

Methods using 3-(4-amino-1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione for treatment of certain leukemias

Recently, we developed novel tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α production regulators with a phthalimide skeleton derived fromthalidomide. We show here that some of these compounds are more potent inhibitors than thalidomide of angiogenesis induced by basic fibroblast growth factor in a murine angiogenesis assay.
