  • Controllably degradable compositions and methods
    Patent number: 10780195
    Abstract: Methods, compositions, kits, and drug delivery devices are provided for treating, adhering, or sealing biological tissues. The methods include combining a first solution that includes an oligomer/polymer component and a second solution that includes a dendrimer component, and at least one of the oligomer/polymer component and dendrimer component includes at least one substituent that is capable of photoreversible dimerization. The reversible dimerization of the substituent may allow for the reversible dimerization and/or polymerization of one or more components. The substituent that is capable of photoreversible dimerization may be active by the application of light, such as UV light.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 23, 2016
    Date of Patent: September 22, 2020
    Assignee: Massachusetts Instiitute of Technology
    Inventors: Natalie Artzi, Elazer R. Edelman, Regina Kelmansky, Marc Mier Cervantes, Yi Zhang
  • Controllably degradable compositions and methods
    Patent number: 10736914
    Abstract: Methods for treating, adhering, or sealing biological tissue are provided. The methods include combining solutions containing a polymer component and a dendrimer component capable of reacting with each other, and at least one of the components includes a substituent capable of photoreversible dimerization that can be reversibly dimerized. Drug delivery compositions and kits containing these two components also are provided.
