  • Plasma protein matrices and methods for their preparation
    Patent number: 7009039
    Abstract: A freeze dried biocompatible matrix comprising plasma proteins, useful as implants for tissue engineering as well as in biotechnology, and methods of producing the matrix are provided. Mechanical and physical parameters can be controlled by use of auxiliary components or additives which may be removed after the matrix is formed in order to improve the biological properties of the matrix. The matrices according to the present invention may be used clinically per se, or as a cell-bearing implant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 20, 2004
    Date of Patent: March 7, 2006
    Assignee: ProChon Biotech Ltd.
    Inventors: Avner Yayon, Rachel Glicklis

  • Polysaccharide sponges for cell culture and transplantation
    Patent number: 6793675
    Abstract: A polysaccharide sponge characterized by having: (i) an average pore size in the range between about 10 &mgr;m to about 300 &mgr;m; (ii) an average distance between the pores being the wall thickness of the pores in the range between about 5 &mgr;m to about 270 &mgr;m; and (iii) an E-modulus of elasticity being a measure of the rigidity of the sponge in the range of about 50 kPa to about 500 kPa.
