Class: 3D Culture/Scaffold (92)
Methods for treating disease and forming a supplemented fibrin matrix
Patent Number: 7,208,179The current patent covers various compositions of matter for manufacturing tissue sealants. The sealants covered contain various growth factors, either recombinantly produced and added, or added through activation of cells. The sealants described are potentially synergistic with stem cells for acceleration of wound healing.
Process and media for the growth of human cornea and gingiva
Patent Number: 5912175This patent teaches how to grow specialized epithelial structures from stem cells such as cornea, gingiva, and ureters. Specific tissue culture conditions and media are provided for growing the stem cells and inducing their differentiation into the desired tissue.
Matrix for tissue engineering formed of a hyaluronic acid ester and hydrolyzed collagen
Patent Number: 6737072This patent covers a matrix that is made of hyaluronic acid and hydrolyzed collagen, that can be used as a scaffold for in vitro three dimensional tissue generation, or can be seeded with stem cells and implanted in vivo.
Media compositions for three-dimensional mammalian tissue growth under microgravity culture conditions
Patent Number: 5846807This patent describes ways of growing tissue in space or under microgravity conditions. This patent could be used not only for generation of medically important implants, but also for production of various artificial meats and foods for astronauts to eat while in space.
Method for producing non-neoplastic, three dimensional, mammalian tissue and cell aggregates under microgravity culture conditions and the products produced therefrom
Patent Number: 5496722This patent teaches the generation of three dimensional tissues through culture under microgravity conditions. This patent discloses several culture conditions, as well as scaffolds, that can be utilized for the generation of the three dimensional organ or organoid structure.
Three-dimensional culture of pancreatic parenchymal cells cultured living stromal tissue prepared in vitro
Patent Number: 6022743This patent teaches the three dimensional generation of artificial pancreatic grafts using a proprietary culture system that is described in detail.
Three-dimensional stromal tissue cultures
Patent Number: 5962325This patent teaches how to generate three dimensional cultures of stem cells through the use of special metrices and TGF beta.
