  • Surface Modification of Surgical Instruments for Selective Manipulation of Biological Tissues
    Publication number: 20130204245
    Abstract: Surgical instruments having at least one surface modified through formation of polyelectrolyte films and/or nanoparticle deposition thereon to increase adhesion between the surgical instrument and a patient's inner limiting membrane while reducing trauma during surgery are provided. The instrument includes a proximate end operable to be grasped by a surgeon and a distal tip operable to interface with a selected tissue, the distal tip comprising: i. first surface operable to receive at least one electrolyte film; ii. at least one layer of a polyelectrolyte film substantially coating the first surface, the polyelectrolyte film having at least one functional group displaying a charge.

  • MESOPOROUS DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM USING AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE POLYMER
    Publication number: 20120183620
    Abstract: The present application relates to Nanoparticle bioengineering techniques were used to produce a non-toxic polypyrrole composition having two-dimensional and three-dimensional structures that can optionally be co-polymerized with carboxylic acid moieties to possess hydrophilicity. Likewise, such polypyrrole/carboxylic acid structures may be further modified with neural growth factors to create treatment surfaces that can promote growth an differentiation of cells such as neurons.

  • Peptide and protein arrays and direct-write lithographic printing of peptides and proteins
    Patent number: 7842344
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of direct-write lithographic printing of proteins and peptides onto surfaces. In particular, the present invention relates to methods for creating protein and peptide arrays and compositions derived therefrom. Nanoscopic tips can be used to deposit the peptide or protein onto the surface to produce a pattern. The pattern can be dots or lines having dot diameter and line width of less than 1,000 nm. The tips and the substrate surfaces can be adapted for the peptide and protein lithography.
