  • Tissue structure scaffolds
    Patent number: 10940237
    Abstract: A method of forming a scaffold comprises the steps of: preparing a high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) comprising an aqueous solution of: proteins selected from the group consisting of collagen and mixtures of collagen and chitosan; and a cross-linking agent; by addition of an immiscible solvent to the solution to form the HIPE; reducing the temperature of the HIPE to solidify the HIPE; removing water and solvent by vaporisation at a temperature above the melting point of the solvent to form a porous structure; and before or after removal of solvent, causing cross-linking of the protein with the cross-linking agent to form a crosslinked scaffold structure.
    Type: Grant

  • Retinoid compounds and their use
    Patent number: 8293803
    Abstract: The invention relates to retinoid compounds of the formula (I): wherein V is a hydrophobic group; W is a non-polyenic linker; and X is a polar group comprising a hydrogen bond donor; or a salt thereof, and to the use of such compounds in the control of cell differentiation.

  • METHODS FOR DETERMINING A PROGNOSIS OF COLORECTAL CANCER
    Publication number: 20100297618
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for determining a prognosis of colorectal cancer in an individual comprising determining an A-type lamin status of an individual and using the A-type lamin status to determine the prognosis of the colorectal cancer, and more particularly for predicting outcomes of colorectal cancer in the individual such as the survival or mortality of the individual or the likelihood of recurrence of the colorectal cancer. Kits for use in carrying out these methods are also provided.
