Reversible Shape-Changing Amorphous Polymers via Liquid Crystal Templating
TS-071745 — The Need
Current two-way shape memory polymers (SMPs) require expensive, crystalline or liquid crystalline monomers and complex synthesis, limiting their use in cost-sensitive and biocompatible applications. Widely used amorphous polymers (e.g., polystyrene, PMMA) are inexpensive and common in con…

RAFT Agents for Controlled Radical Polymerization of Biofunctionalized Polymeric Materials
TS-068081 — These RAFT agents enable synthesis of novel polymer materials with enhanced biocompatibility and tailored functionality, suited for a wide range of biomedical applications.
Background
The growing demand for biofunctionalized polymer materials in fields such as drug delivery and diagnostics requires precise control over polymer properties. However, current reagents for Reversible Addition Fragmentation chain Transfer (RAFT) polymerization struggle with achieving the ne…

Skin Healing Technology: Dermal Substitutes and Engineered Skin with Rete Ridges
TS-064046 — Dermal substitute with engineered rete ridges improves epidermal-dermal communication and enhances burn wound treatment.
Massive burn injuries present a critical challenge in wound healing and prevention of infection. Current treatment methods are susceptible to blistering and other problems that can reduce engraftment.
The Need
Cultured epithelial autografts (CEAs) are a vital component in treating large burns, but…

Biomimetic vitreous substitute with ocular drug delivery
TS-044490 — Methods and compositions for an antioxidant releasing hydrogel vitreous substitute
The vitreous humor is a fragile, transparent tissue between the lens and the retina of the eye that maintains the shape of the eye, acts as a shock absorber, and enables nutrient diffusion to ocular tissues. The vitreous also plays a key role in oxygen homeostasis. Over time, the vitreous degrades…

DNA-cage erasable labels for fluorescence-based imaging
TS-043819 — Compositions and methods for analyzing multiple biomarkers without damaging tissue.
Histopathology is a cornerstone of tissue analysis used to diagnose many clinical conditions. Many of these diagnoses are based on identifying the presence of specific biomarkers, which can be indicated by colored labels. Currently, only 1-2 markers can be analyzed per slide, reducing accuracy and…

High-strength and Corrosion Resistant Alloy for Patient-Specific Bioresorbable Bone Fixation Hardware
TS-042526 — Novel ternary and quaternary Mg-Zn-Ca-based alloys and a heat treatment process for producing bioresorbable bone fixation implants with improved mechanical and corrosion properties
Mg-Zn-Ca-based alloys are the most promising alloy system for bone implant applications mainly due to their superior biocompatibility. For fixation applications, the ideal is a material strong enough to hold while healing (2-4 months) yet being fully resorbed after the bones have healed (6-24 mont…

Intravenous (IV) Access Port Seal
TS-039406 — A device to discourage IV-drug-abusing patients from self-accessing their IV ports while in the hospital
Healthcare professionals desire a way to tell if an IV port has been accessed while also having the port sterile and accessible when needed. IV ports are increasingly used for chronic pain conditions, but self-access, specifically in patients dealing with drug abuse, can lead to a host of problems…

Perivascular Drug Delivery Nanoplatform for Preventing Restenosis After Open Surgery
TS-039004 — Pericelle: a nanoparticle based perivascular drug delivery system to prevent stenosis and failure in vascular reconstruction surgeries.
Imaging and re-intervention procedures, necessary to maintain open blood vessels following vascular reconstruction surgery, are expensive. For example, the cost of maintenance for an arteriovenous (AV) fistula used in hemodialysis access has been estimated at $15,000/year. In bypass and AV fistula…
