  • Patent number: 11896800
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are self-degradable microneedle devices for the controlled-release of an immunotherapeutic agent. Also disclosed are methods for treating a disease (for example, cancer) using a self-degradable microneedle patch for the sustained delivery of an immunotherapeutic agent (for example, a PD1 antibody).
    Type: Grant

    Inventors: Zhen Gu, Chao Wang, Yanqi Ye
  • Patent number: 11865178
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to photoimmunotherapy for treating cancer. More particularly, the present disclosure provides photo-responsive dermal applicators that use transdermal microneedle arrays to administer an immunogenic composition and a photo-sensitive biological pigment to a subject to treat and/or prevent cancer. Photo-responsive dermal applicators of the present disclosure provide the ability to target cancerous tumors in a manner that is safer and less invasive than conventional means.

  • Patent number: 11492680
    Abstract: The present invention belongs to the field of heat treatment for metal plate strips, and discloses a water spray system for heat treatment of metal plate strips and a control method. The system comprises a shunt water collector, sub-water supply pipelines, a control valve group and a control system. The control method comprises a water pressure regulating method and a water flow regulating method. The shunt water collector adopts multi-pipeline uniform flow design and realizes uniform shunt and constant pressure water supply. The sub-water supply pipelines are designed with three configuration modes of a control valve group in accordance with varieties and specifications of metal plate strips, rhythms of production and heat treatment technologies to realize dual closed-loop control of water pressure-water flow.
