20090214619 | IMPLANT FOR INTRAOCULAR DRUG DELIVERY - An implant for intraocular drug delivery for the treatment of inflammatory or degenerative diseases. In one embodiment, the implant includes a body portion having a first end portion and a second, opposite end portion and defining a cavity with a first opening at the first end portion, and a second, opposite opening at the second end portion, and a solid material received in the cavity, wherein the solid material comprises a depot material and an effective amount of at least one therapeutic compound or agent. When the implant is implanted in an eye of a living subject, the effective amount of at least one therapeutic compound or agent is released to the environment of the implant through at least one of the first opening and the second, opposite opening over an extended period of time. | 08-27-2009 |
20100131075 | Cell-Scaffold Constructs - The present invention relates to the regeneration, reconstruction, repair, augmentation or replacement of organs or tissue structures using scaffolds and autologous cells that are not derived from such organs or tissues. | 05-27-2010 |
20110257726 | SCAFFOLDS FOR ORGAN RECONSTRUCTION AND AUGMENTATION - Biocompatible synthetic or natural scaffolds are provided for the reconstruction, repair, augmentation or replacement of organs or tissue structures in a patient in need of such treatment. The scaffolds are shaped to conform to at least a part of the organ or tissue structure and may be seeded with one or more cell populations. Inserts, receptacles and ports are also provided for the attachment of tubular vessels to the neo-organ scaffolds. The seeded scaffolds are implanted into the patient at the site in need of treatment to form an organized organ or tissue structure. The scaffolds may be used to form organs or tissues, such as bladders, urethras, valves, and blood vessels. | 10-20-2011 |
20130173015 | CELL SCAFFOLD CONSTRUCTS - The present invention relates to the regeneration, reconstruction, repair, augmentation or replacement of organs or tissue structures using scaffolds and autologous cells that are not derived from such organs or tissues. | 07-04-2013 |
20130330364 | THERAPEUTIC FORMULATIONS - The present invention concerns therapeutic formulations containing active agents, such bioactive cell populations, and methods of making and using the same. | 12-12-2013 |
20140107804 | SCAFFOLDS FOR ORGAN RECONSTRUCTION AND AUGMENTATION - Biocompatible synthetic or natural scaffolds are provided for the reconstruction, repair, augmentation or replacement of organs or tissue structures in a patient in need of such treatment. The scaffolds are shaped to conform to at least a part of the organ or tissue structure and may be seeded with one or more cell populations. Inserts, receptacles and ports are also provided for the attachment of tubular vessels to the neo-organ scaffolds.

20110186593 | DISPENSING VESSEL FOR CLOTHES DRYER - A dispensing vessel for introducing moisture into a clothes drying environment includes a core configured to at least temporarily retain a moistening substance therein and a cover substantially surrounding the core. The cover includes a plurality of protuberances, each protuberance including a flattened tip at a distal end thereof, a fill opening defined therethrough, the fill opening providing access to an interior of the cover from an exterior of the cover, and one or more dispensing openings, each dispensing opening being disposed at the flattened tip of a protuberance of the plurality of protuberances, each dispensing opening providing access to an exterior of the cover from an interior of the cover. | 08-04-2011 |
20110277343 | DISPENSING VESSEL FOR CLOTHES DRYER - A dispensing vessel for introducing moisture into a clothes drying environment includes a sponge-like core configured to at least temporarily retain a moistening substance therein, a generally oblong-shaped cover substantially surrounding the core and retaining the core in a compressed condition, and a moistening substance retained within the core. The cover includes a fill opening defined therethrough, the fill opening providing access to an interior of the cover from an exterior of the cover, a plurality of protuberances spaced generally evenly from one another, each protuberance having a generally conical shape, and one or more dispensing openings, each dispensing opening disposed at a distal end of a protuberance of the plurality of protuberances, and each dispensing opening providing access to an exterior of the cover from an interior of the cover. Furthermore, each of the dispensing openings is not positioned generally opposite the fill opening. | 11-17-2011 |
20130213997 | DISPENSING VESSEL FOR CLOTHES DRYER - A dispensing vessel for introducing moisture into a clothes drying environment includes a core and a cover substantially surrounding the core. The core is configured to at least temporarily retain a moistening substance therein. The cover includes a plurality of protuberances sized and dimensioned to lift and separate individual clothing articles when the dispensing vessel is disposed within a clothes drying environment with clothing articles. Each protuberance includes a flattened tip at a distal end thereof, a fill opening defined therethrough to provide access to an interior of the cover from an exterior of the cover, and one or more dispensing openings. Each dispensing opening is disposed at the flattened tip of a respective protuberance of the plurality of protuberances and provides access to an exterior of the cover from an interior of the cover. | 08-22-2013 |
