Tinatsu Kohno has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9889228
    Abstract: The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a cultured cell sheet having a superior tissue adhesiveness and an excellent flexibility. The problems can be solved by producing the cultured cell sheet in which cells are cultured in the presence of a surfactant protein or a cross-linking inhibitor on a surface of a cell culture support that is coated with a temperature responsive polymer having an upper or lower critical solution temperature ranging from 0° C. to 80° C. in water, including steps of: adjusting the temperature of the culture medium to a temperature below the lower critical solution temperature or above the upper critical solution temperature; and detaching the cultured cell sheet.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 27, 2014
    Date of Patent: February 13, 2018
    Assignee: CELLSEED INC.
    Inventors: Masato Kanzaki, Masayuki Yamato, Tinatsu Kohno, Hidekazu Sekine, Akihiko Kikuchi, Teruo Okano, Takamasa Onuki

  • Publication number: 20080131476
    Abstract: It is intended to provide a cultured cell sheet with excellent tissue adherence and flexibility. The above object can be achieved by culturing cells on a support for cell culture in which a surface of a substrate is coated with a temperature-responsive polymer whose lower or upper critical solution temperature against water is in the range of 0 and 80° C. along with a surfactant protein or a crosslinking inhibitor and producing a cultured cell sheet by detaching it by setting the temperature of the culture to the upper critical solution temperature or higher or to the lower critical solution temperature or lower.
