US Patent:
20120177742, Jul 12, 2012
Filed:
Dec 29, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/340472
Inventors:
James B. McCLAIN - Raleigh NC, US
Charles Douglas Taylor - Franklinton NC, US
Brett G. Zani - Arlington MA, US
Timothy Charles Kiorpes - Doylestown PA, US
Assignee:
MICELL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. - Durham NC
International Classification:
A61K 9/00
B05D 7/00
A61K 31/436
A61P 37/06
B82Y 5/00
US Classification:
424490, 424400, 514291, 427 21, 977773, 977915
Abstract:
Devices, coatings, and methods therefore comprise a medical device for delivering nanoparticles of an active agent to a treatment site. A coating on the medical device comprises active agent nanoparticles, which delivers coating to the treatment site and releases active agent nanoparticles into the treatment site over at least one day. A coating may comprise a polymer, a surfactant, and the nanoparticles. The coating may be prepared by forming a nanoemulsion. A coating may comprise encapsulated active agent nanoparticles which comprise active agent nanoparticles encapsulated in a polymer. The coating may have a positive surface charge. The coating may deliver active agent nanoparticles into the treatment site over at least about one day. The coating may be formed of a surfactant and nanoparticles mixture. The active agent nanoparticles may be deposited on the medical device using electrostatic capture.

Tissue-Engineered Endothelial And Epithelial Implants Differentially And Synergistically Regulate Tissue Repair

US Patent:
20130064800, Mar 14, 2013
Filed:
Aug 10, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/571494
Inventors:
Elazer R. Edelman - Brookline MA, US
Brett G. Zani - Arlington MA, US
Assignee:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
A61K 35/12
A61P 17/02
A61P 1/00
A61P 15/00
A61P 11/00
A61P 9/00
US Classification:
424 937
Abstract:
Endothelial implants restore vascular homeostasis after injury without reconstituting vascular architecture. Endothelial cells line the vascular epithelium and underlying vasa vasorum precluding distinction between cellular controls. Unlike blood vessels, the airway epithelium is highly differentiated and distinct from endothelial cells that line the bronchial vasa allowing investigation of the differential control tissue engineered cells may provide in airways and blood vessels. Through airway injury and cell culture models, tissue engineered implants of the bronchial epithelium and endothelium were found to promote synergistic repair of the airway through biochemical regulation of the airway microenvironment. While epithelial cells modulate local tissue composition and reaction, endothelial cells preserve the epithelium; together their relative impact was enhanced suggesting both cell types act synergistically for airway repair.
