Resurfacing cartilage defects with chondrocytes proliferated without differentiation using platelet-derived growth factor
Patent Number: 6001352This patent teaches the use of platelet derived growth factor for stimulating proliferation of chondrocyte and chondrocyte stem cells along the area of a joint defect, so as to accelerate healing.
Bioartificial filtration device for filtering blood to mimic kidney function
Patent Number: 6942879This patent is for a bioartificial kidney suitable for a variety of uses, including in patients with renal failure. The patent has one independent claim covering a filtration device which contains a layer of non-immortalized renal endothelial cells, non-immortalized renal epithelial cells, or a mixture thereof, and (ii) pericytes, vascular smooth muscle cells. This approach is currently in...
