Abstract: A collagen-bone composition may include bone collagen and bone particles. The collagen may be in the form of a collagen suspension and the bone particles may be demineralized bone particles retained in collagen suspension. The composition may be prepared from pressure and thermal treatment of dry demineralized bone particles contacted with an aqueous medium to produce a viscous gel-like fluid. The fluid may include the collagen extracted from the demineralized bone particles. Addition of particulate bone may be used to increase the consistency of the composition, which may convert it into a paste or putty. The paste or putty may be suitable for ejection from a syringe. The collagen-bone composition may be preserved by freeze-drying or preferably by hypothermic dehydration. On reconstitution with aqueous medium, the preserved material may resume its original shape and properties.

Abstract: Methods of manufacturing a bone-derived extracellular matrix (bECM) product are provided. Also provided are bECM products and methods of using those products.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a stabilized cross-linked hydrogel matrix comprising a first high molecular weight component and a second high molecular weight component that are covalently linked, and at least one stabilizing or enhancing agent, wherein the first high molecular weight component and the second high molecular weight component are each selected from the group consisting of polyglycans and polypeptides. This stabilized hydrogel matrix may be prepared as bioactive gels, pastes, slurries, cell attachment scaffolds for implantable medical devices, and casting or binding materials suitable for the construction of medical devices. The intrinsic bioactivity of the hydrogel matrix makes it useful as a gel or paste in multiple applications, including as a cell attachment scaffold that promotes wound healing around an implanted device, as gels and pastes for induction of localized vasculogenesis, wound healing, tissue repair, and regeneration, as a wound adhesive, and for tissue bulking.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a composition and method for semiconductor processing. In one embodiment, a wet-cleaning composition for removal of photoresist is provided. The composition comprises a strong base; an oxidant; and a polar solvent. In another embodiment, a method for removing photoresist is provided. The method comprises the steps of applying a wet-cleaning composition comprising about 0.1 to about 30 weight percent strong base; about one to about 30 weight percent oxidant; about 20 to about 95 weight percent polar solvent; and removing the photoresist.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a manufacturing method for fibrous demineralized bone matrix, the method comprising: (a) a step for subjecting a bone, separated from a body, to a primary demineralization in an acid solution for 1-5 hours; (b) a step for slicing the bone obtained in step (a) to a thickness of 0.1-3 mm, thus forming a sheet of bone; (c) a step for subjecting the sheet of bone obtained in step (b) to a secondary demineralization in an acid solution for 2-6 hours; and (d) a step for grinding the demineralized bone obtained in step (c).

Abstract: The invention provides a bone material having a specific surface area of at least 80 m2/g and a protein content of less than 1800 ppm.

Abstract: A wood adhesive having a) 100 weight parts of water; b) between 3 and 45 weight parts of a proteinaceous material; c) between 0.01 and 15 weight parts of an acidity regulator; d) between 0.01 and 15 weight parts of an aromatic compound; e) between 0.01 and 15 weight parts of a curing agent; f) between 0.01 and 15 weight parts of a preservative; g) between 0 and 15 weight parts of a viscosity modifier; h) between 0 and 10 weight parts of a filler; and i) between 0 and 15 weight parts of a drier.
