The University of Pittsburgh announced that Pitt innovators were issued seven U.S. patents in February 2019.
Featured Patent: U.S. 10,195,252 “Recruitment of Mesenchymal Cells Using Controlled Release Systems”
Steven Little, Chairman of the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, and colleagues, have developed a system for releasing appropriate chemokines that mimics the body’s natural process to attract mesenchymal stem cells to a desired location. This discovery offers potential treatments for diseases of inflammation including rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis, or inflammatory conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease or atherosclerosis.
