20100092546 | Topical and Transdermal Delivery of HIF-1 Modulators to Prevent and Treat Chronic Wounds - Compositions and methods are provided for the treatment of chronic wounds, including, without limitation, pressure ulcers and diabetic ulcers, by transdermal delivery of an agent that increases activity of HIF-1α in the wound. Agents that increase HIF-1α activity include, without limitation, agents that stabilize HIF-1α, e.g. deferoxamine, deferiprone, deferasirox, etc.; agents that upregulate expression of HIF-1α, e.g. dimethyloxalylglycine, etc., HIF-1α polypeptide or coding sequences; and combinations thereof. Such agents may be referred to herein as HIF-1α potentiating agents. | 04-15-2010 |
20110263724 | THREADS OF HYALURONIC ACID AND/OR DERIVATIVES, THEREOF, METHODS OF MAKING THEREOF AND USES THEREOF - The present invention provides threads of hyaluronic acid, and/or derivatives thereof, methods of making thereof and uses thereof, for example, in aesthetic applications (e.g., dermal fillers), surgery (sutures), drug delivery, etc. | 10-27-2011 |
20110305745 | Pollulan regenerative matrix - Compositions and methods are provided for the manufacture and use of a pullulan-based collagen hydrogel film with controlled porosity. The hydrogel is fabricated with salt-induced phase inversion and cross-linking to form a reticular scaffold. This soft collagen scaffold displays excellent handling characteristics, durability, and a porous dermal-like ultrastructure that is maintained in vitro. Cells, including cells involved in tissue repair, are viably sustained within the scaffold. The hydrogel films are biodegradable, and find particular use in wound healing, where the hydrogel scaffold can be replaced by dermal cells over time. | 12-15-2011 |
20120215098 | Trans-Catheter / Trans-Endoscope Drug and Stem Cell Delivery - An apparatus and method are provided for very precise and efficient delivery of e.g. viscous nutritive cell matrices and/or drugs into an exact point in the human body using minimally-invasive surgical techniques. Embodiments are compatible with modern catheter access and endoscopic techniques and a disposable-plus-capital-equipment business model separating the cost of the procedure between a reusable and a disposable component. It also represents a substantial step forward in terms of safety with no high voltage or high pressure components present in the body. The inherent risk of using this design to deliver substances into the human body is significantly reduced compared to standard hydraulic methods. Mechanical trauma associated with needles is avoided with this invention, and the method is also compatible with tortuous anatomy such as the coronary or brain arteries. | 08-23-2012 |
20130109700 | Topical Itraconazole Formulations and Uses Thereof | 05-02-2013 |
20130226235 | THREADS OF CROSS-LINKED HYALURONIC ACID AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF - This disclosure relates generally to threads with improved properties comprising cross-linked hyaluronic acid, optimized methods of making such threads and uses thereof, for example, in aesthetic applications (e.g., facial contouring, soft tissue augmentation products), surgery (e.g., sutures), drug delivery, negative pressure wound therapy, moist wound dressing, and the like. | 08-29-2013 |
20130251787 | Treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension with Leukotriene Inhibitors - Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) can be prevented in persons susceptible to the diseases and PAH patients can be treated by administering an effective dose of a leukotriene inhibitor. Suitable inhibitors include leukotriene A | 09-26-2013 |
20130303480 | SOFT TISSUE AUGMENTATION THREADS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF - This disclosure relates generally to soft tissue augmentation threads, methods of making such threads and uses thereof, for example, in aesthetic applications (e.g., facial contouring, soft tissue augmentation products), surgery (e.g., sutures), drug delivery, negative pressure wound therapy, moist wound dressing, and the like. | 11-14-2013 |
20130331330 | METHODS OF TREATING ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND OTHER TAUOPATHIES WITH INHIBITORS OF MICROTUBULE AFFINITY REGULATING KINASE - Methods of treating Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies are disclosed. In particular, the invention relates to methods of treating Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies with inhibitors of microtubule affinity regulating kinase (MARK). Hyperphosphorylation of tau by MARK is associated with the pathogenic deposition of intracellular neurofibrillary tangles and loss of synaptic markers, dendritic spines, and synapses during progression of Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies. Peptide inhibitors derived from the | 12-12-2013 |
20140004050 | SELF-QUENCHING ACTIVATABLE COX-2-SPECIFIC MULTI-MODAL MOLECULAR PROBES FOR DIAGNOSIS OF CANCERS, INFLAMMATION, AND IMMUNE SYSTEM DISORDERS | 01-02-2014 |
20140107036 | Production and Delivery of a Stable Collagen - Improved methods are provided for the recombinant synthesis of collagen, particularly collagen VII, in host cell, and for therapeutic delivery of the same. The recombinant collagen is produced in a host cell that has increased levels of prolyl-4-hydroxylase, relative to basal cell levels. The collagen produced by the methods of the invention has increased numbers of modified proline residues, relative to a recombinant collagen produced in a host cell having basal levels of prolyl-4-hydroxylase. The increased proline modification provides for a collagen having increased stability, including increased in vivo stability. | 04-17-2014 |
20140370078 | Topical and Transdermal Delivery of HIF-1 Modulators to Prevent and Treat Chronic Wounds - Compositions and methods are provided for the prevention and treatment of chronic wounds, including, without limitation, pressure ulcers and diabetic ulcers, by transdermal delivery of an agent that increases activity of HIF-1α in the wound. | 12-18-2014 |
