  • Publication number: 20210085615
    Abstract: The present invention provides a biomolecular composite which is a ghost cell which has been emptied of all or substantially all of the cytosolic contents of the cell including the nucleus and nuclear contents, preferably further having been fused with exogenous amphipathic molecules, wherein said composite has a hydrodynamic diameter of less than 6 ?m. The biomolecular composite may contain a cargo molecule and be capable of targeting a cell or tissue. Also provided are methods of preparing ghost cells, methods of preparing biomolecular composites and methods for their use.

  • Patent number: 10316290
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods for directing differentiation of stem cells comprising graphene. In additional embodiments, the invention relates to methods for repairing and improving bone tissue functions comprising accelerating differentiation in stem cell growth by exposing stem cells to graphene and transplanting the graphene with the exposed stem cells in the tissue at the site of repair.

  • Publication number: 20120089117
    Abstract: An apparatus that includes a nano-projection array and an application unit configured to displace the nano-projection array to thereby deliver a composition (e.g., vaccine) to a controlled depth within the skin. The nano-projection array includes nano-projections carried by a carrier substrate. The application unit includes a peripheral structure and a displaceable carrier. The nano-projection array can be disposed within the peripheral structure. Displacement of the displaceable carrier causes a corresponding displacement to the nano-projection array. The displacement of the displaceable carrier can be controlled. For instance the distance of displacement of the displaceable carrier can be controlled. A method or process for manufacturing the apparatus is also provided.
