Class: 3D Culture/Scaffold (92)
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...

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.
Biomaterial derived from vertebrate liver tissue
Patent Number: 7,482,025This patent teaches the use of a decellularized liver matrix for induction of tissue growth, the tissue growth being mediated by the cells already residing in the patient, such as stem or progenitor cells.
The first independent claim covers "A method for inducing the formation of endogenous tissue at a site in need of endogenous tissue growth in a warm-blooded... This 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... This patent teaches how to make a cell-seeded bioreactor so as to grow various types of kidney cells onto a hollow fiber filter for the generation of an "artificial kidney". This patent provides scaffolds that can be seeded with stem cells and subsequently inplanted for regeneration of various tissues. This patent provides cell scaffolds made of a variety of materials, including ceramic. These scaffolds are useful for the growth of various tissues both in vitro and in vivo. This patent provides scaffolds and various compositions for their manufacture so that the structures made may be seeded with stem cells and/or other types of cells for tissue engineering purposes. This patent covers compositions of matter useful for generation of bone grafts and artificial bones either in vitro or in vivo.
