  • Patent number: 10836872
    Abstract: A visible light-curable chitosan derivative, a hydrogel thereof, and a preparation method therefor are disclosed. The visible light-curable glycol chitosan derivative is curable by light in the visible light range and has a wound healing activity. A hydrogel obtained by cross-linkage of the visible light-curable glycol chitosan derivative using visible light has a wound healing effect per se, and further, a hydrogel obtained by cross-linkage in a combination of one or more growth factors has an excellent wound healing effect. In addition, a glycol chitosan hydrogel that can prevent the denaturation of contained drugs and growth factors due to the cross-linkage by visible light and is optimized for application to a wet dressing dosage form can be prepared.

  • Patent number: 9233187
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a biodegradable suture-type cell delivery system, a preparation method thereof and a biodegradable suture comprising the same. The biodegradable suture-type cell delivery system has improved cell compatibility as a result of depositing a hydrophilic functional group-containing compound on the surface of a biodegradable suture yarn made of a biodegradable polymer, a portion of which has partially a bulky structure beneficial for the proliferation of cells or living tissue, so as to hydrophilically modify the surface, and then bonding a cell compatible material to the surface, and also functions as a cell culture scaffold, because the bulky structure is beneficial for the proliferation of cells. Accordingly, the biodegradable suture-type cell delivery system can improve the rate of engraftment of stem cells in vivo.
