20100034868 | SCAFFOLDS FOR THE REGENERATION OF CARTILAGE - The present application discloses that incorporation of dermatan sulfate and/or HA in composite scaffolds of certain polymers gives rise to a chondrogenic effect on chondrocytes resulting in formation of cartilage that resembles the natural ECM. This effect with dermatan sulfate as the primary additive has not previously been seen. The composites are formed by incorporation of dermatan sulfate finely dispersed particles optionally nanoparticles or as molecular dissolutions in a polymer matrix with no bonding between the DS and the matrix, providing the DS to the chondrocytes in an accessible non-crosslinked form. | 02-11-2010 |
20100239560 | MULTI COMPONENT NON-WOVEN - The formation of a non-woven, free from organic solvent, formed through parallel formation of fibers on a collection device is disclosed. As the individual fibers are dry prior to contact with other fibers, the different contents of the various fiber types do not interact. However, when wetted, the fibers will start to be dissolved, or swell, and the different contents will be released and then interact. For the example of thrombin and fibrinogen, the interaction will initiate the formation of a fibrin coagulum by the cleavage of fibrinogen through the action of thrombin to form fibrin monomers that spontaneously polymerize to form a three dimensional network of fibrin. | 09-23-2010 |
