  • RETINAL PROSTHESIS
    Publication number: 20140046401
    Abstract: A retinal prosthesis including a microelectrode array, a polymer layer and a layer of bioactive molecule is provided. The microelectrode includes a plurality of microelectrodes. The polymer layer partly encapsulates the microelectrode array, in which the microelectrodes are exposed on the surface of the polymer layer. The layer of bioactive molecules is immobilized on the surface of the microelectrode.

  • Liver specific chimeric regulatory sequence and use thereof
    Patent number: 7972851
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a chimeric regulatory sequence with liver cell specificity. The chimeric regulatory sequence includes a proximal regulatory sequence and a distal enhancer 5? flanking region of human ?-fetoprotein (AFP) gene. The chimeric regulatory sequence is useful in purified specific lineages, such as liver cells, from other cell lineages.

  • Methods for culturing human embryonic stem cells
    Patent number: 7935527
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for improving growth and survival of single human embryonic stem cells. The method includes the step of obtaining a single undifferentiated HES cell; mixing the single undifferentiated cell with an extracellular matrix (ECM) to encompass the cell; and inoculating the mixture onto feeder cells with a nutrient medium in a growth environment. Therefore the single cells can survive, proliferate and grow in vitro.
