  • Publication number: 20210009682
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods of reducing cutaneous scar formation by treating a cutaneous wound with a composition comprising a therapeutic agent that is a sodium channel blocker and/or an inhibitor of the Nax/SCN7A pathway. The present invention also provides wound cover components impregnated with such compositions, kits composed of such compositions with a wound dressing or sterile wipe, and mixtures of such compositions with a topical component (e.g., cream, ointment, or gel) suitable for application to a cutaneous wound. The present invention also provides compositions, kits, devices, and methods for treating skin conditions (e.g., dermatitis, psoriasis, or other skin conditions) with such compositions and devices. Examples of such therapeutic agents include, but are not limited to, an inhibitor of a gene or protein selected from: ENac, COX-2, PGE2, PI3K, PKB, Nax Prss8, IL-1?, IL-8, SAPK, Erk gene, p38 gene, PAR2, S100A8, S100A9, S100A12.

  • Patent number: 10716758
    Abstract: A method of preparing liposomal statins includes preparing a lipid solution including phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, vitamin-E and an organic solvent and removing the solvent, forming a lipid cake. The lipid cake may then be hydrated with a first aqueous media. The hydrated cake may be mixed in a mixer and subjected to one or more freeze/thaw cycles and then extruded to form liposomes. A cryo-protective agent may be added to the liposomes and the liposomes may be lyophilized to provide a powder. A statin is added to the organic lipid solution or to the first aqueous media used for hydrating the lipid cake.

  • Publication number: 20140024112
    Abstract: An in-vivo bioreactor system includes a base, a chamber, an access member, an inlet port, an outlet port, and a transparent viewing member. The base includes an internal base cavity. The chamber attaches and detaches from the base. The chamber includes an internal chamber cavity which is in communication with the internal base cavity when the chamber is attached to the base. The access member when disposed in an open position allows access to the internal base cavity or the internal chamber cavity from outside the in-vivo bioreactor system. The inlet port is in communication with the internal base cavity or the internal chamber cavity. The outlet port is in communication with the internal base cavity or the internal chamber cavity. The transparent viewing member allows viewing of the internal base cavity or the internal chamber cavity from outside the in-vivo bioreactor system.
