  • Cell associated scaffolds for delivery of agents
    Patent number: 11730696
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of scaffolds to enhance the viability of cells implanted in the integumentary system such that the cell may release an agent. The scaffold is capable of protecting the cell, as well as allowing for adequate nutrient delivery at the implant site through vascularisation in and around the scaffold.

  • Wound repair composition and method
    Patent number: 8747830
    Abstract: The invention provides a dressing composition comprising a bisphosphonate matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor covalently bound to a polymer wherein, when the dressing is contacted with a wound, substantially all of the bisphosphonate remains with the dressing composition and is unable to enter the wound tissue. The invention also provides for a method of treatment of a wound by contacting a dressing composition comprising a covalently bound MMP inhibitor with the wound fluid to thereby selectively inhibit one or more MMP's in the wound fluid without inhibiting those in the wound tissue.
