20110189250 | GREEN APPROACH IN METAL NANOPARTICLE-EMBEDDED ANTIMICROBIAL COATINGS FROM VEGETABLE OILS AND OIL-BASED MATERIALS - The present invention generally relates to a method of making nanoparticles and uses thereof. In particular, the invention relates to methods of making metal nanoparticles (MNPs). The invention also relates to antimicrobial uses of the nanoparticles. | 08-04-2011 |
20110206740 | Cell Membrane Engineering - The present invention is directed to methods and compositions for engineering the surface of a cell, wherein a targeting moiety and/or a particle are attached to the cell membrane. The particle can further comprise a therapeutic agent for drug delivery. The compositions disclosed herein are useful in the treatment of diseased or damaged tissue by targeting cells for the purpose of tissue regeneration, drug delivery or a combination of both. | 08-25-2011 |
20110229565 | Drug Delivery Composition Comprising a Self-Assembled Gelator - This invention discloses drug-delivery compositions, methods of making prodrugs, and methods of drug delivery using a self-assembled gelator. The backbone of the gelator can contain a drug or prodrug, such as acetaminophen or salicin. Additional drugs or agents can be encapsulated in the gelator. Enzymatic or hydrolytic cleavage can be used to release the drugs. | 09-22-2011 |
20120201863 | METHODS FOR THICKENING HYDROPHOBIC LIQUIDS WITH AMPHIPHILIC ESTERS - The present invention relates to a method for thickening a hydrophobic liquid. When a hydrophobic liquid is thickened in accordance with the invention, the liquid becomes significantly denser. Preferably, the hydrophobic liquid becomes a gel. | 08-09-2012 |
20120251443 | IMPLANTABLE CONTRAST AGENTS AND METHODS - The present disclosure provides compositions and methods based on implantable contrast agents that are useful for imaging tissue and organs. | 10-04-2012 |
20120263765 | AGENTS FROM CELLS - A composition includes an isolated cell; at least one particle within said cell; and at least one active agent associated with the particle, wherein the active agent is capable of being released from the cell. A method includes administration of such a cell to a subject. | 10-18-2012 |
20120321573 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF PROPHYLAXIS FOR CONTACT DERMATITIS - The present invention relates to compositions and methods for inhibiting metal exposure to tissues. | 12-20-2012 |
20130280334 | Nanostructured Gels Capable of Controlled Release of Encapsulated Agents - Self-assembled gel compositions including a gelator, e.g., an enzyme-cleavable gelator, e.g., having a molecular weight of 2500 or less, are described. The self-assembled gel compositions can encapsulate one or more agents. Methods of making the self-assembled gel compositions, and methods of drug delivery using the self-assembled gel compositions are also described. | 10-24-2013 |
