  • Patent number: 9526746
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for tissue regeneration, particularly for treating skin lesions such as wounds. In one aspect, the invention provides a wound healing composition comprising living cells such as fibroblasts within a support matrix such as fibrin, in which the cells have a wound healing phenotype, and in which the composition is single layered and has been incubated for up to about 8 days to allow development of the wound healing phenotype. The compositions and methods of the invention are useful especially for assisting the process of wound healing, particularly chronic open lesions that are slow to heal or resistant to healing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 14, 2005
    Date of Patent: December 27, 2016
    Assignee: SMITH & NEPHEW, INC.
    Inventors: Paul Kemp, Györgyi Talas, Jennifer Sutherland, Margaret Batten, Penelope Ann Johnson, Andrew Shering, Michael McWhan
  • Patent number: 9248153
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for tissue regeneration, particularly for treating skin lesions such as wounds. In one aspect, the invention provides wound healing composition characterized by the higher expression levels of phenotypic marker genes such as apolipoprotein D, matrix metalloprotease (2), collagen 3a1 and smooth muscle actin than the housekeeping gene ribosomal protein L32. The compositions and methods of the invention are useful especially for assisting the process of wound healing, particularly chronic open lesions that are slow to heal or resistant to healing.

  • Publication number: 20110027366
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of preparing a collagenous construct comprising casting a support matrix comprising fibrin and viable collagen-producing cells onto a support material, wherein said cells include human dermal fibroblasts, incubating in situ said support matrix in a collagen-inducing medium thereby, inducing or enhancing collagen production by said cells to form a collagenous construct, and degrading said fibrin, and rendering said collagenous construct free of said viable collagen-producing cells.
