| 20080274979 | TREATMENT OF LEAKY OR DAMAGED TIGHT JUNCTIONS AND ENHANCING EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX - Self assembling peptides and peptidomimetics can be utilized for the treatment and support of disorders associated with leaky or damaged tight junction and weak, diseased, or injured extracellular matrix. The self-assembling materials generally have alternating hydrophilic or hydrophobic residues or hydrophobic and/or hydrophilic sections which allow the material to react or interact with the glycoproteins found in the ECM. Diseases in which treatment with these materials applied to or near the site in need of treatment include diabetic retinopathy, sepsis, burns, and certain neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. The formulations can be administered by injection, spraying, topically or by catheter or via a wound dressing or other material to which it is applied and then applied to the site in need of treatment. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090111734 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR PROMOTING HEMOSTASIS AND OTHER PHYSIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES - Compositions that include nanoscale structured materials or precursors thereof (e.g., self-assembling peptides) are described. The compositions can include other substances (e.g., a vasoconstrictor). Also described are methods for using the compositions to promote hemostasis, to protect the skin or wounds from contamination, to decontaiminate a site upon removal of previously applied compositions that provided a protective coating, and to inhibit the movement of bodily substances other than blood. The compositions are also useful in isolating tissue, removing tissue, preserving tissue (for, e.g., subsequent transplantation or reattachment), and as bulking, stabilizing or hydrating agents. Medical devices that include the compositions (e.g., a stent or catheter), bandages or other wound dressings, sutures, and kits that include the compositions are also described. | 04-30-2009 |

| 20110144023 | Nano Cancer Barrier Device (NCBD) to Immobilize and Inhibit the Division of Metastic Cancer Stem Cells - The present invention provides methods, compositions, and kits wherein nanomaterials are used for inhibiting cancer stem cell division, colony formation, spheroid formation and self-renewal. The present invention also provides methods, compositions, and kits wherein nanomaterials are used for treating cancer, coating tumors, and inhibiting metastasis. The present invention also provides methods, compositions, and kits wherein nanomaterials are used for inducing cells to go into stasis. The present invention further provides methods for isolating tumors, inhibiting bleeding, and marking margins of tumors and organs during surgery with a nanomaterial. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20110150844 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING PROLIFERATION AND DIFFERENTIATION OF CELLS - Methods and compositions for modulating cell differentiation, proliferation and morphology in vitro or in vivo are described. The methods include modifying the extracellular nanoenvironment of stem cells with a self-assembling peptide nanofiber scaffold. The extracellular nanoenvironment can be modified by changing the percentage of self-assembling peptides used to form the nanofiber scaffold, the concentration of cells in the nanofiber scaffold, the pH, or the amounts of serum. Modulating the extracellular nanoenvironment of cells in nanofiber scaffold allows for increased targeting of cell placement and therapeutic delivery, amplified by cell encapsulation and implantation. | 06-23-2011 |
