  • Method and apparatus for resurfacing an articular surface
    Patent number: 10583220
    Abstract: A biocompatible, bioresorbable tissue repair implant or scaffold device is provided for use in repairing a variety of cartilage tissue injuries, and particularly for resurfacing and/or repairing damaged or diseased cartilage. The repair procedures may be conducted with tissue repair implants that contain a biological component that assists in delaying or arresting the progression of degenerative joint diseases and in enhancing tissue healing or repair. The biocompatible, bioresorbable tissue repair implants include a scaffold and particles of viable tissue derived from cartilage tissue, such that the tissue and the scaffold become associated. The particles of living tissue contain one or more viable cells that can migrate from the tissue and populate the scaffold.

  • EFFICIENT FUNCTIONAL GENOMICS PLATFORM
    Publication number: 20160122825
    Abstract: Methods for identifying oncogenic biomarkers specific to a patient's cancer. Methods are also provided for identifying candidate therapeutic agents for treating a patient's cancer based on the oncogenic biomarkers. Methods for treating patient's having cancers that express mutant PIK3R1 and ras genes are also disclosed.

  • Tissue fusion method using collagenase for repair of soft tissue
    Patent number: 8323642
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of using locally administered collagenase as a non-invasive means of enhancing cell release from the cartilage or fibrocartilage tissues adjacent to a disease or injury site. The subsequent migration of cells from these tissues into the lesion or wound, followed by deposition of the appropriate extracellular matrix, results in closure of the lesion or fusion of a tissue gap.
