Biodegradable and Versatile Copolymers to Promote Wound Healing
Invention Summary:Rutgers scientists have developed a copolymer formulation to stably release salicylic acid (SA). It holds the promise for promoting topical and surgical wound healing, as SA is known to reduce local pain and inflammation as well as potentially prevent fibrous adhesion formation by reducing scar tissue. The release is stable over a...

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...
