  • Patent number: 12115537
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include separating devices and systems and methods of use. Embodiments of the present disclosure include separation devices including magnetic arrays and sheet-flow separation chambers. In an embodiment, the separating device enables the generation of multiple, and in some configurations, intersecting, high gradient magnetic field lines, resulting in strong separation forces, which permit for scale up to large areas and/or volumes (e.g., extracorporeal blood filtration system).

  • Publication number: 20230119492
    Abstract: In one aspect, the disclosure relates to a support material for 3D printing of soft materials having feature sizes <5 µm that persist over time, methods of 3D printing using the same, and articles that include soft matter constructed using the disclosed methods. In one aspect, the support materials can be jammed inverse emulsions having silicone oils as the continuous phase and glycerol/water mixtures as the dispersed phase. In some aspects, the support materials also include a surfactant. In any of these aspects, the support materials can be optically clear.

  • Patent number: 10092891
    Abstract: TGF-? growth factor and its latent complex are conjugated to magnetic micro- or nanoparticles and to magnetic micro- or nanodiscs. By exposing the resulting conjugates to magnetic fields, the TGF-? growth factor can be released from its latent complex in vivo, potentially making it useful in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. And by exposing a conjugate of TGF-? growth factor and a magnetic particle to a sufficiently strong, radiofrequency magnetic field, the TGF-? growth factor can be denatured and thereby deactivated, potentially making it possible to avoid triggering tumorigenesis, atherosclerosis, fibrotic disease, and cancer.
