Ye Dam LEE has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11800864
    Abstract: The present invention provides a composition for inhibiting ice recrystallization, including: A nucleic acid structure comprising a scaffold nucleic acid folded at predetermined positions to form a plurality of strands, and a plurality of staple nucleic acids, wherein at least a portion thereof has a complementary sequence to at least a portion of the scaffold nucleic acid, thereby binding to the scaffold nucleic acid to form a double strand. Therefore, it is possible to increase a survival rate of cells due to having excellent effect of inhibiting ice recrystallization upon cryopreservation of the cells, and maintain a texture of food even when using the composition in the freezing of food.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 3, 2019
    Date of Patent: October 31, 2023
    Assignees: SEOUL NATIONAL UNIVERSITY R&DB FOUNDATION, Korea University Research and Business Foundation, PUKYONG NATIONAL UNIVERSITY INDUSTRY-UNIVERSITY COOPERATION FOUNDATION
    Inventors: Dong June Ahn, Ye Dam Lee, Do Nyun Kim, Chan Seok Lee, Sang Wook Wu, Su Hyun Park
  • Publication number: 20230225310
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for cryopreservation, comprising: a nucleic acid structure which comprises a scaffold nucleic acid folded at predetermined positions to form multiple strands, and a plurality of staple nucleic acids wherein at least a portion of a sequence thereof comprises a complementary sequence to that of the scaffold nucleic acid, which are bound to at least one of the strands of the scaffold nucleic acid to form a double strand; linkers coupled to at least one of single strands in the nucleic acid structure; and an anti-freezing peptide coupled to at least one of the linkers, so as to exhibit excellent freeze-protection effects, which in turn increase cell viability during cryopreservation of cells and tissues, while retaining original texture of food even when used for freezing the food.
