Cell Impregnated Nanofiber Stent Sleeve ("CINSS") for Intravascular Growth Factor Production

Invention novelty:Stem cells are harnessed to create a stent-based “paracrine factor factory” using a novel biodegradable nanofiber sleeve which protects the cells from washout and immune attack, and provides a sheltered in vivo on-stent milieu for the cells to continuously produce and deliver healing growth factors and exosomes to injured tissue.Value...

Implantable Bioreactor with a Non-Static Cell Pouch

UNMET NEED Heart failure after myocardial infarction (MI) is a common and morbid condition that affects millions worldwide. While there are multiple therapies that help the heart adapt and compensate for the damage incurred in an MI, there remains no method by which injured heart muscle may be repaired or replaced. Stem cell therapy shows great promise...
