Patents by Inventor Hidetomi Terai

Hidetomi Terai has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Multilayer device for tissue engineering
    Patent number: 7371400
    Abstract: The invention provides for translating two-dimensional microfabrication technology into the third dimension. Two-dimensional templates are fabricated using high-resolution molding processes. These templates are then bonded to form three-dimensional scaffold structures with closed lumens. The scaffolds can serve as the template for cell adhesion and growth by cells that are added to the scaffolds through the vessels, holes or pores. These scaffolds can be formed by layering techniques, to interconnect flat template sheets to build up a fully vascularized organ.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 2, 2002
    Date of Patent: May 13, 2008
    Assignee: The General Hospital Corporation
    Inventors: Jeffrey T. Borenstein, Kevin R. King, Hidetomi Terai, Joseph P. Vacanti
  • Tissue engineering of three-dimensional vascularized using microfabricated polymer assembly technology
    Publication number: 20020182241
    Abstract: The invention provides for the translating two-dimensional microfabrication technology into the third dimension. Two-dimensional templates are fabricated using high-resolution molding processes. These templates are then bonded to form three-dimensional scaffold structures with closed lumens. These scaffolds can be formed by layering techniques, to interconnect flat template sheets to build up a full, vascularized organ. Alternatively, such scaffolds can be formed by rolling or folding the templates to form thick three-dimensional constructs.
