  • Platelet lysate compositions and uses thereof
    Patent number: 12171784
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions, kits, and methods for providing mechanical support and/or agents to biological targets. Specifically, the compositions comprise platelet lysate, fibrinogen and thrombin. The compositions can be used for the treatment of wounds/injuries (e.g. corneal), and for other applications including tissue culture.

  • BIOENGINEERED ENDOTHELIAL CONSTRUCTS
    Publication number: 20240245832
    Abstract: The present invention relates to bioengineered collagen constructs and methods for the preparation and use of said constructs. The constructs and methods may find application in, but are not limited to, the provision of replacement tissue and/or cells, and/or the delivery of agents to biological targets such as tissues and cells. The constructs and methods may also find application in, but are not limited to, replacing endothelial tissue.

  • COLLAGEN IV BIOINKS
    Publication number: 20240033400
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions suitable for the delivery of agents to biological targets such as tissues and cells and/or capable of promoting the growth and/or proliferation of cells, and methods for the production thereof. Specifically, a printable collagen bioink comprising type IV collagen is used to produce crosslinked collagen gels comprising mammalian cells, such as endothelial or epithelial cells, for corneal regeneration.

  • Collagen gel formulations
    Publication number: 20230001047
    Abstract: The present inventors have developed printable collagen bioinks using unmodified type I collagen with mechanical and structural properties that facilitate application to tissue in a structured form. In particular, the compositions of the present invention may be used to apply collagen gels to tissue (e.g. eye) using two- or three-dimensional (extrusion) bioprinting techniques.
