University of Pittsburgh Announces Eight Patents Issued in October 2022

Posted on November 2, 2022 by Mike Yeomans

Pitt innovators were issued eight patents in October 2022.

Featured patent: 11,458,224 “Ovarian-Derived Hydrogels for Biomedical and Biotechnology Applications”

Women who survive ovarian cancer often struggle with infertility and reproductive dysfunction. Restoring reproductive function for these women and other suffering from other ovarian-related diseases requires careful manipulation of ovarian follicles. Current measures for fertility preservation, such as cryopreservation, can pose the risk of re-introducing the malignant cells upon transplantation. Inventors at Pitt developed a novel method to support follicle development and restore fertility in chemotherapy-treated mice via targeted delivery of immature follicles.  This technology utilizes a novel biomaterial derived from decellularized porcine ovarian tissues. The inventors are proposing the use of this technology as a minimally invasive method to restore fertility and endocrine function in cancer survivors with ovaries as well as a targeted delivery system for the treatment of ovarian-associated diseases.
