  • Publication number: 20220143374
    Abstract: Macroencapsulation devices and their methods of use are disclosed. In one embodiment, a macroencapsulation device may include a first outer membrane, a second outer membrane, and at least one semipermeable membrane disposed there between to form at least a primary compartment configured to house a first population of cells and a secondary compartment in fluid communication with the primary compartment through the first semipermeable membrane. In some embodiments, the flow of material into and out of the compartments of the macroencapsulation device and/or the application of an appropriate pressure differential between the compartments may be used to control the flow of filtrates, ancillary agents, and other materials between the compartments of the device when positioned in vivo.

  • Patent number: 11035851
    Abstract: Methods of identifying potential skin moisturizing actives for the treatment of dry skin and method of formulating a moisturizing skin care composition using actives identified by the method. Moisturizing agents can be identified by comparing the transcriptional profile of a skin tissue sample contacted by a test agent to a negative or positive control to determine if the regulation of certain genes corresponds to the appropriate direction of regulation indicated by the control. Agents identified as skin moisturizing agents can then be incorporated into a skin moisturizing composition.
