  • Method for making a biofabricated material containing collagen fibrils
    Patent number: 11286354
    Abstract: Described herein is a method for producing a biofabricated material from collagen or collagen-like proteins. The collagen or collagen-like proteins are isolated from animal sources or produced by recombinant DNA techniques or by chemical synthesis. The collagen or collagen-like proteins are fibrillated, crosslinked, dehydrated and lubricated thus forming the biofabricated material having a substantially uniform network of collagen fibrils.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 15, 2017
    Date of Patent: March 29, 2022
    Assignee: MODERN MEADOW, INC.
    Inventors: Brendan Patrick Purcell, David Thomas Williamson, Francoise Suzanne Marga, Susan J. Schofer, Darryl Miles Cassingham
  • Method for making a biofabricated material containing collagen fibrils
    Patent number: 10370504
    Abstract: Described herein is a method for producing a biofabricated material from collagen or collagen-like proteins which are recombinantly produced and which contain substantially no 3-hydroxyproline. The collagen or collagen-like proteins are isolated from animal sources, or produced by recombinant DNA techniques or by chemical synthesis. The collagen or collagen-like proteins are fibrillated, crosslinked, dehydrated and lubricated thus forming the biofabricated material having a substantially uniform network of collagen fibrils.

  • REACTOR SYSTEMS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20100081577
    Abstract: A reactor system includes a housing and a plurality of reactors at least partially contained in the housing. The reactors each have a containment structure enclosing an internal space in the reactor. The containment structure including a circumferential sidewall having opposite ends and surrounding at least a portion of said internal space. The sidewall has a thermal mass and a sidewall heater adjacent an exterior surface of the sidewall. The ratio of the thermal mass of the sidewall to a volume of the portion of the internal space that is surrounded by the sidewall is relatively low.
