Publication number: 20220249281Abstract: An embeddable and replenishable controlled drug release device which achieves drug delivery in which the drug release rate can be controlled is provided. The device can be replenished with a drug using a syringe and a needle when implanted in the body. The device has a capsule structure and includes (i) a controlled drug release part for controlled-release of a drug from the device, (ii) a drug storage part for keeping the drug and (iii) a drug introduction part for introducing the drug into the drug storage part. The controlled drug release part has a controlled-release face having a pore, and a hydrogel. The drug storage part is adjacent to the controlled drug release part, and releases the drug kept therein from the pore, and the drug is introduced into the drug storage part through the drug introduction part using a syringe and a needle.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2020Publication date: August 11, 2022Applicant: TOHOKU UNIVERSITYInventors: Hirokazu KAJI, Yuya ITO, Nobuhiro NAGAI, Toshiaki ABE

Publication number: 20190127693Abstract: Provided is a novel method of manufacturing a cell-nanoscale thin film composite in which the cell-nanoscale thin film composite can be peeled from a substrate at a controlled timing. The method of manufacturing a cell-nanoscale thin film composite comprises culturing a cell in a cell culture base material in which a nanoscale thin film is provided on an electrode substrate with a self-assembled monolayer interposed therebetween, and reductively desorbing the self-assembled monolayer from the electrode substrate by applying an electric potential to the electrode substrate at a desired timing, so that the cell-nanoscale thin film composite is released.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2017Publication date: May 2, 2019Inventors: Hirokazu KAJI, Jin SUZUKI, Nobuhiro NAGAI, Toshiaki ABE

Patent number: 8389010Abstract: The present invention provides a stretchable collagen material, particularly collagen derived from fishes, having excellent stretching property and mechanical strength, which can be widely used as a cell carrier and medical material, and to a method for manufacturing the same. By thermally treating a gel comprising collagen fiber cross-linked by using cross-linking agent, the collagen enhanced in both stretching property and mechanical strength can be produced. The stretchable collagen material is extremely useful as a cell carrier material and medical material.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2008Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Ihara & Company Ltd.Inventors: Shuji Yunoki, Nobuhiro Nagai
