  • Multi-functional oxygenating microparticle loaded cell aggregates
    Patent number: 11760991
    Abstract: A method of preparing and obtaining cell aggregates having increased oxygenation abilities. The method includes the preparation of fluorinated polymeric microparticles. Once the fluorinated polymeric microparticles are prepared, they are combined with mammalian cells to create the cell aggregates having increased oxygenation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 12, 2019
    Date of Patent: September 19, 2023
    Assignee: The University of Akron
    Inventors: Nic Leipzig, Pritam Patil

  • Fluorinated polymerizable hydrogels for wound dressings and methods of making same
    Patent number: 10335490
    Abstract: Fluorinated hydrogels are used to dissolve oxygen or other oxygenated small molecules. The fluorinated hydrogels may release the dissolved oxygen or other oxygenated small molecules upon exposure to an environment of lower tension. The fluorinated hydrogels have a particular application in wound healing, where the fluorinated hydrogels may be used as a wound dressing.
