Class: 3D Culture/Scaffold (89)
Composites for tissue regeneration and methods of manufacture thereof
Patent Number: 6454811This patent provides various engineering techniques and devices for generation of artificial tissue from biological sources in vitro and in vivo. Specific material and ways of manipulating the materials to design cellular substrates and shape inducing structures are disclosed.
Resorbable scaffolds to promote cartilage regeneration
Patent Number: 6530956This patent teaches how to make scaffolds that can be implanted in order to promote healing and regeneration of injured cartilage. Chondrocytes and/or mesenchymal stem cells may be used along with this invention.
Tissue transplant coated with biocompatible biodegradable polymer
Patent Number: 6551355This patent covers various biocompatible coating compositions that in one embodiment are used to decrease immunogenecity of bone grafts.
Culture vessel for growing or culturing cells, cellular aggregates, tissues and organoids and methods for using same
Patent Number: 6080581This patent covers a method of generating three dimensional tissues in culture. The culture system allows for continuous addition of media and growth factors as well as escape of waste products.
Guided development and support of hydrogel-cell compositions
Patent Number: 6171610This patent covers hydrogels that may be used in combination with stem cells for the generation of various artificial tissues.
Guided development and support of hydrogel-cell compositions
Patent Number: 6027744This patent covers ways generating tissue implants and artificial tissues in vitro for in vivo implantation.
Reversible gelling culture media for in-vitro cell culture in three-dimensional matrices
Patent Number: 6103528This patent teaches how to make a tissue culture media which gells upon treatment or exposure to specific conditions. The advantage of this is that cells can be added when the media is liquid, and then the gelling characteristic can be used for the formation of specially shaped structures, structures which can subsequently be implanted.
Cell-culture and polymer constructs
Patent Number: 6637437This patent provides novel cellular "fillers" that are generated in culture specifically for the patient, and administered during head and neck surgery in order to "fill the gap".
Assembled scaffolds for three dimensional cell culturing and tissue generation
Patent Number: 6143293This patent covers a multilayered scaffold that can be seeded with stem cells, other types of cells, and/or growth factors for the generation of three dimensional tissues in culture.
Industrial production of meat using cell culture methods
Patent Number: 7,270,829This patent teaches what a friend of mine used to call the notion of "biobeef". The concept of generating edible meat through tissue culture. The patent has one independent claim which essentially covers the use of cultured cells to generate a three dimensional tissue that can be eaten that does not require "deboning, removal of offal and/or tendon and/or gristle and/or fat". This patent...
