Patent number: 11883246Abstract: The inventions provided herein relate to tissue markers and uses thereof, e.g., to mark a target tissue site (e.g., a biopsy site in a breast tissue) or to produce a cell scaffold. The tissue markers described herein are designed to be resistant to fast migration (e.g., immediate migration after implantation through a needle track) and slow migration (e.g., over an extended period of time) upon implantation at a target tissue site (e.g., a biopsy site in a breast tissue), without using an adhesive. Additionally or alternatively, the tissue markers described herein can be readily detectable by at least one imaging modality, e.g., but not limited to magnetic resonance imaging, X-ray imaging, ultrasound imaging, or a combination thereof.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2013Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignees: TRUSTEES OF BOSTON UNIVERSITY, BOSTON MEDICAL CENTER CORPORATIONInventors: Mark W. Grinstaff, Boris Nicolas Bloch, Jonah Kaplan
