| 20120107283 | HUMAN SKIN EQUIVALENTS EXPRESSING EXOGENOUS POLYPEPTIDES - The present invention relates generally to compositions for wound closure. More specifically, the present invention provides human skin equivalents engineered to express exogenous polypeptides (e.g., antimicrobial polypeptides and keratinocyte growth factor 2) and compositions and methods for making human skin equivalents engineered to express exogenous polypeptides. In addition, the present invention provides methods for treatment of wounds with human skin equivalents engineered to express exogenous polypeptides. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20110286985 | METHOD OF TREATMENT USING ORGANOTYPICALLY CULTURED SKIN TISSUE COMPRISING NIKS CELLS THAT EXPRESS EXOGENOUS HIF-1A - The present invention relates to in vitro cultured skin tissue, and in particular to cultured skin tissue comprising exogenous genes encoding angiogenic growth factors. In some embodiments, the keratinocytes express exogenous angiopoietin-1, HIF-1α, or a member of the VEGF family, preferably VEGF-A. In particularly preferred embodiments, the keratinocytes are incorporated into cultured skin tissue. | 11-24-2011 |
| 20110059057 | KERATINOCYTES EXPRESSING EXOGENOUS ANGIOGENIC GROWTH FACTORS - The present invention relates to in vitro cultured skin tissue, and in particular to cultured skin tissue comprising exogenous genes encoding angiogenic growth factors. In some embodiments, the keratinocytes express exogenous angiopoietin-1, HIF-1α, or a member of the VEGF family, preferably VEGF-A. In particularly preferred embodiments, the keratinocytes are incorporated into cultured skin tissue. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20100330046 | HUMAN SKIN SUBSTITUTES EXPRESSING IL-12 - The present invention relates generally to compositions for treating patients that have skin cancer or have recently had skin cancers removed. More specifically, the present invention provides human skin substitutes engineered to express exogenous IL-12 and compositions and methods for making human skin substitutes engineered to express exogenous IL-12. In addition, the present invention provides methods for treatment of sites on a patient where skin cancers have been removed with human skin substitutes engineered to express exogenous IL-12. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100119615 | DRIED AND IRRADIATED SKIN EQUIVALENTS FOR READY USE - The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for preparing, storing, shipping and using skin equivalents made by organotypic culture. In particular, the present invention relates to systems and methods for producing, transporting, storing and using skin equivalents produced by organotypic culture at reduced temperatures, preferably from 2-8 degrees Celsius to ambient temperature. The methods include sterile packaging of the grafts so that the sterility and integrity of the package is maintained until the time of use for grafting purposes. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100119495 | HUMAN SKIN EQUIVALENTS EXPRESSING EXOGENOUS POLYPEPTIDES - The present invention relates generally to compositions for wound closure. More specifically, the present invention provides human skin equivalents engineered to express exogenous polypeptides (e.g., antimicrobial polypeptides and keratinocyte growth factor 2) and compositions and methods for making human skin equivalents engineered to express exogenous polypeptides. In addition, the present invention provides methods for treatment of wounds with human skin equivalents engineered to express exogenous polypeptides. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20090176299 | Species Specific DNA Detection - The present invention relates to methods and compositions for the identification of species-specific material in pharmaceutical products. In particular, the present invention relates to methods for the identification of species-specific DNA in a population of a different species or following contact (e.g., growth) with cells of a different species. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090169528 | KERATINOCYTES EXPRESSING EXOGENOUS ANGIOGENIC GROWTH FACTORS - The present invention relates to in vitro cultured skin tissue, and in particular to cultured skin tissue comprising exogenous genes encoding angiogenic growth factors. In some embodiments, the keratinocytes express exogenous angiopoietin-1 or a member of the VEGF family, preferably VEGF-A. In particularly preferred embodiments, the keratinocytes are incorporated into cultured skin tissue. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090145087 | COLD STORAGE OF ORGANOTYPICALLY CULTURED SKIN EQUIVALENTS FOR CLINICAL APPLICATIONS - The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for storing, shipping and using skin equivalents made by organotypic culture. In particular, the present invention relates to systems and methods for producing, transporting, storing and using skin equivalents produced by organotypic culture at reduced temperatures, preferably from 2-8 degrees Celsius. The methods include sterile packaging of the grafts so that the sterility and integrity of the package is maintained until the time of use for grafting purposes. | 06-11-2009 |
