Patent number: 12233162Abstract: The invention relates to liposomes, methods of producing liposomes, and methods of loading cell-derived liposomes with cargo molecules. The invention extends to such liposomes per se, and to the use of these liposomes as cellular delivery systems for the delivery of biologically and therapeutically active payload molecules, such as small molecules, RNAi molecules (e.g. siRNA), bioactive proteins, genome editing tools (e.g. Cas9) and drugs into cells for treating a range of disorders. The liposomes may also be used in a range of diagnostic and theranostic applications. The invention extends to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such liposomes, including populations of extracellular vesicles (EV), exosomes and to fusion proteins.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2019Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: The University of GreenwichInventors: Simon Richardson, Benedita Feron

Patent number: 11109582Abstract: An insect trap (100) and method for trapping and/or killing insects are disclosed. The insect trap comprises an enclosure (10) for receiving a human or an animal, and comprising an opening (12) configured to allow air to flow out of the enclosure and prevent insects from entering the enclosure, and a trapping unit (30) outside of the enclosure and in fluidic communication with the opening. The trapping unit comprises a heatable container (32) comprising either an adhesive material (31) for attracting and trapping an insect or a material comprising insecticide for killing an insect.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2016Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: The University of GreenwichInventors: Gabriella Gibson, Frances Hawkes
