  • Publication number: 20220401566
    Abstract: A PEG-lipid is produced by mixing a cation-PEG-lipid comprising at least one amino group with a sulfated glycosaminoglycan comprising at least one carbonyl group to form a Schiff base intermediate. A reducing agent is added to the Schiff base intermediate to form a sulfated glycosaminoglycan-PEG-lipid. The sulfated glycosaminoglycan-PEG-lipid can be used to biological tissue against thromboinflammation. Coating of biological tissue with the sulfated glycosaminoglycan-PEG-lipid can be done in a single step process and does not cause any significant cell aggregation.

  • Publication number: 20220022447
    Abstract: An organ graft is ex vivo treated by ex vivo infusing a solution comprising PEG-phospholipid molecules into a vascular system of the organ graft. The solution comprising PEG-phospholipid molecules is ex vivo incubated in the vascular system to enable coating of at least a portion of the endothelial lining of the vascular system with the PEG-phospholipid molecules while keeping the organ or the part of the organ submerged in an organ preservation solution comprising PEG-phospholipid molecules. Such an ex vivo treatment of organ grafts with PEG-phospholipid protected the organ grafts against thromboinflammation and reduced blood pressure drops that otherwise occurred when reperfusing the organ graft in the recipient.
