Biodegradable and Versatile Copolymers to Promote Wound Healing
Invention Summary:
Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process of replacing devitalized and missing cellular structures and tissue layers and thus there is a need for a biodegradable and versatile copolymers to promote wound healing.
Rutgers scientists have developed a copolymer formulation to stably release salicylic acid (SA). It holds the promise...

Improved Nerve Conduits for Treatment of Peripheral Nerve Injuries
Scanning electron microscope image of conduits
Invention Summary:
Nerve conduits are used for treatment of peripheral nerve injuries. However, the current conduits are associated with poor healing resulting from swelling and reduction of luminal volume, suture pull-out, collapse, kinking, compression, and lack of mechanical strength to withstand...

A Dual Cell Therapy for Wound Healing
Invention Summary:
This method is a combinatorial therapy for chronic wound treatment. Insulin creams increase wound healing but require constant reapplication. Mesenchymal stem cells release growth factors to speed up regeneration but are incompatible with topically applied insulin. Dr. Olabisi has developed a novel therapy of coencapsulated insulin-producing...
