  • HYDROGEL COMPOSITIONS
    Publication number: 20130338084
    Abstract: Hydrogel compositions comprise an aqueous dispersion phase and a plurality of peptides, or derivatives, or analogues thereof. Each peptide comprises at least two amino acid residues and an aromatic stacking ligand and the hydrogel is formed by self-assembly of said peptides in said aqueous dispersion medium. The aqueous dispersion phase is physiologically acceptable and may have a pH of 6 to 8, as may the hydrogel itself. The hydrogel may be used for cell culture or for treatment of medical conditions characterised by tissue loss/damage.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 15, 2013
    Publication date: December 19, 2013
    Applicant: The University of Strathclyde
    Inventors: Rein Vincent Ulijn, Vineetha Jayawarna, Andrew Smith, Julie Elizabeth Gough

  • COMPOSITION COMPRISING PHOSPHONIC ACID POLYMER FOR USE AS TISSUE ENGINEERING FIBROUS SCAFFOLD
    Publication number: 20130071464
    Abstract: A fibrous tissue scaffold wherein fibres of the scaffold comprise a phosphonic acid polymer. The fibres preferably incorporate a vinylphosphonic acid—acrylic acid copolymer, and may further include polycaprolactone. There is further described medical implant coating comprising a phosphonic acid polymer, a biocompatible fibre comprising a phosphonic acid polymer and a biocompatible polymer comprising polycaprolactone and a phosphonic acid polymer.
