  • Hollow and porous orthopaedic or dental implant that delivers a biological agent
    Patent number: 8337873
    Abstract: This invention relates to the synthesis of new tooth or bone from an encapsulated biological agent such as a growth factor or stem cells contained within a hollow and porous biocompatible vehicle such as a titanium implant placed (implanted) within the body of a host animal such as a human.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 20, 2005
    Date of Patent: December 25, 2012
    Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois
    Inventor: Jeremy Jian Mao
  • In vivo synthesis of connective tissues
    Patent number: 7709442
    Abstract: The in vivo synthesis of connective tissue by fibroblast or fibroblast precursor cells ensconced within a biocompatible scaffold is disclosed. The cells are preferably present in a biocompatible scaffold such as gelatin and placed between two other biocompatible scaffolds such as collagen sponges soaked with a collagenic amount of a member of the TGF-? family of proteins. This composition is then implanted in a host to produce cranial sutures, periodontal ligament or other fibrous tissue structures in vivo.
    Type: Grant
