| 20080287369 | Compositions and Methods for Viscosupplementation - The invention provides viscosupplementation compositions that include hyaluronic acid, or a polymer thereof and tribonectin. Such compositions are useful for the lubrication and chondroprotection of mammalian joints. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090029331 | Active cutaneous technology - Active cutaneous technology to emulate the cutaneous characteristics of skin in medical training and other applications. Skin color changes are implemented with paint-on, electrically tunable, reflecting material that can conform to a mold, such as a manikin body or consumer product, and will enable the device to simulate skin. For example, skin colors associated with bruises, blue skin or cyanosis, redness from carbon monoxide poisoning or over radiation, and yellow skin from jaundice. Skin texture changes (e.g., goosebumps, rashes, and poxes) are established using tunable topological polymer films that grow in predetermined directions. Hair-raising, or piloerections, are accomplished with polymer-MEMS with varying thermal expansion coefficients on either side of a hair fiber due to anisotropic molecular alignment. These technologies are integrated, addressable and programmable through a control system. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090068247 | BIOCOMPATIBLE DEVICES COATED WITH A TRIBONECTIN AND METHODS FOR THEIR PRODUCTION - The present invention features biocompatible devices having a surface thereof coated with a composition that includes a tribonectin, and methods of making the devices. The tribonectin may, e.g., reduce microbial growth on or attachment to the surface of the biocompatible device. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090104148 | Treatment and prevention of joint disease - The invention provides compositions and methods for preserving, prolonging, or augmenting joint lubrication by contacting a tissue of a joint such as a knee, elbow, or other articulating joint, with a tribonectin and an inhibitor of a proinflammatory mediator. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090155200 | Methods of promoting cartilage healing or cartilage integration - The present invention provides methods of promoting cartilage healing or integration that include reducing the effective concentration of lubricin found in the extracellular matrix that is in contact with cartilaginous tissue. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20100021400 | Active Sunscreen Composition - The invention relates to topical compositions comprising a fluorescent dye that absorbs UVA and UVB radiation and converts it into a healing light, in combination with a dermatologically acceptable excipient. The compositions of the invention are useful for repairing photo-damaged skin cells and reducing or preventing future skin damage as a result of exposure to UV light. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100048458 | TRIBONECTINS - The invention features a tribonectin and a method of tribosupplementation carried out by administering tribonectins directly to an injured or arthritic joint. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100204087 | TRIBONECTINS - The invention features a tribonectin and a method of tribosupplementation carried out by administering tribonectins directly to an injured or arthritic joint. | 08-12-2010 |
