20100106078METHOD OF CONTROLLING A RELEASE OF A MATERIAL CARRIED BY ULTRASOUND SENSITIVE PARTICLES - This invention relates to a method and an apparatus of controlling a release of a material carried by ultrasound sensitive particles, the release being caused by irradiating the ultrasound sensitive particles with an ultrasonic pulse having acoustic properties selected so as to interact with the ultrasound sensitive particles and thus causing the release of the material. The ultrasound sensitive particles comprise sub-groups of ultrasound sensitive particles, the ultrasound sensitive particles within the same sub-group having their respective acoustic property causing each respective sub-group to interact independently with the sound wave.04-29-2010

20110125080ULTRASOUND MEDIATED DRUG DELIVERY - Described is a method for the delivery of a therapeutic agent to a mammal, particularly a human person, comprising (i) the administration of ultrasound particles that undergo a physical change when subjected to ultrasound; (ii) the administration of the therapeutic agent in an ultrasound dosage form allowing release of the therapeutic agent to be affected by the application of ultrasound, (iii) the application of ultrasound so as to affect a physical change in at least some of the ultrasound particles, and (iv) the application of ultrasound so as to stimulate release of the therapeutic agent. According to the invention the ultrasound particles are subjected to detection of their acoustic responses via echoes and/or emissions.

20110015739SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FORMING PATTERNED EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX MATERIALS - An extracellular matrix (ECM)-based scaffold suitable for artificial skin as well as other structures can be formed using a bioreactor fabricated with a pattern that introduces desired structural features, on the microscale and/or nanoscale, to ECM-precursors gelled in the bioreactor. The bioreactor can produce a finely patterned scaffold—over clinically relevant size scales—sufficiently robust for routine handling. Preformed ECM-based scaffolds can also have microscale and/or nano-scale structural features introduced into a surface thereof. ECM-based scaffolds may be formed with well-defined structural features via microetching and/or remodeling via ‘contact degradation.’ A surface-activated pattern can be used to degrade the ECM-based scaffold at contact regions between the pattern and the ECM. The produced ECM-based scaffolds can have structures of dimensions conducive to host tissue ingrowth while preserving the fibrous structure and ligand density of natural ECMs.01-20-2011

20110268810POLYMERIC MATERIALS LOADED WITH MUTAGENIC AND RECOMBINAGENIC NUCLEIC ACIDS - Polymeric microparticles are used to deliver recombinagenic or mutagenic nucleic acid molecules such as donor nucleic acid alone, or in combination with triplex-forming molecules, to induce a site-specific mutation in the target DNA. Target cells endocytose the particles, releasing the nucleic acid molecules inside of the cell, where they induce mutagenesis or recombination at a target site. The examples demonstrate that triplex forming oligonucleotides, preferably PNAs, preferably in combination with a donor nucleotide molecule, can be encapsulated into polymeric microparticles, which are delivered into cells. Results demonstrate significantly greatly levels of uptake and expression, and less cytotoxicity, as compared to direct transfer of the nucleic acid molecules into the cell by nucleofection.11-03-2011
