Patents by Inventor JANETA ZOLDAN

JANETA ZOLDAN 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).

  • Publication number: 20210363675
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions comprising aligned fibers of electrospun PNIPAAm and poly (?-caprolactone) (PCL) (denoted PNIPAAm/PCL fibers). The PNIPAAm/PCL compositions enable enhanced growth and detachment of intact anisotropic cell sheets. The compositions do not require chemical modification or resource-intensive techniques, thus saving time and expense, and have the potential to generate tissue-specific, aligned cell sheets for transplant studies.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20140105960
    Abstract: Provided herein are hydrogels and hydrogel-forming compositions that are useful for, among others, tissue regeneration in vivo. Methods for generating such hydrogels, for example, from such hydrogel-forming compositions are also provided herein. Therapeutic methods employing hydrogels and hydrogel-forming composition, for example, for restoration of tissue perfusion in the context of acute ischemia, are also provided. The disclosure also describes kits comprising components useful for generating hydrogels as described herein.
