  • Publication number: 20240226322
    Abstract: Disclosed are fibrin-specific nanogels. The fibrin-specific nanogels can comprise a fibrin binding moiety conjugated to a polymeric matrix (e.g., a crosslinked polyacrylamide matrix). By varying the morphology of fibrin-specific nanogels (e.g., by varying the crosslinker density and/or the three-dimensional structure of the fibrin-specific nanogels), fibrin-specific materials which mimic the biophysical characteristics of platelets can be formed. The resulting materials can be used in a variety of biomedical applications (e.g., for drug delivery, to promote wound healing, to treat thrombotic events, and to treat coagulative disorders).

  • Patent number: 11998570
    Abstract: Using lung tissues as a source, mammalian lung progenitor cells lung spheroids and lung spheroid cells (LSCs) were prepared. In one embodiment mammalian LSCs were prepared by (i) culturing mammalian lung tissue explant cells under adherent culture conditions to form a first lung cell outgrowth culture; (ii) culturing the first lung cell outgrowth culture under low-adherence conditions to form lung spheroids; and (iii) culturing the lung spheroids under adherent culture conditions so as to form LSCs. The low-adherence conditions may be a cell culture or suspension. The lung spheroids or LSCs may be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions. Uses such as treatment of lung diseases or diagnostics are also provided. Lung spheroids and LSCs represents a simple and highly reproducible method to generate therapeutic lung cells.
