The present invention is a method for increasing at least one of the color-stability and the light-stability of a cosmetic or dermatological formulation, comprising the step of adding iminodisuccinic acid or a salt thereof to the cosmetic or dermatological formulation. The integrated fusion cage and graft delivery device according to various embodiments delivers and disperses biologic material through a fusion cage to a disc space and, without withdrawal from the surgical site, may selectably detach the fusion cage for deposit to the same disc space. Since the twisted warp threads are connected to the single weft threads by weaving, the structure strength of the abrasive mesh is relatively high, thus extending its service life. The disclosed culture conditions afford improved methods for bone marrow transplantation.
