  • Functionalization of plant tissues for human cell expansion
    Patent number: 12280177
    Abstract: Decellularized plant tissues and the use of these plant tissues as scaffolds are disclosed herein. Particularly, decellularized plant tissues are functionalized such to allow for human cell adhesion, thereby allowing for their use as scaffolds for human cells. These scaffolds can then be used in a number of applications/markets, including as research tools for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and basic cellular biology.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 29, 2021
    Date of Patent: April 22, 2025
    Assignees: Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, ARKANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY—JONESBORO, Worcester Polytechnic Institute
    Inventors: William L. Murphy, Gianluca Fontana, Joshua Gershlak, Glenn Gaudette, Pam Weathers, Tanja Dominko, Marsha Rolle, Sarah Hernandez, Carol Cramer, Luis Fabircio Medina-Bolivar, Bernard Binder

  • Transgenic plants protected against parasitic plants
    Publication number: 20040172671
    Abstract: Transgenic plants which are resistant to damage from parasitic plants and methods for generating such transgenic plants are provided. The transgenic plants are genetically engineered to contain a lytic toxin gene such as the cecroipin gene sarcotoxin IA. Expression of the gene is driven by an inducible promoter such as a parasite induced promoter, or a promoter which selectively expresses the gene in a particular region of the plant, e.g. the root system.
