Polymeric Microstructures
US Patent:
2006022, Oct 12, 2006
Filed:
Feb 22, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/359695
Inventors:
Chris Stephens - Knoxville TN, US
Peter Engleman - Knoxville TN, US
Roberto Benson - Knoxville TN, US
Peter Engleman - Knoxville TN, US
Roberto Benson - Knoxville TN, US
International Classification:
A61K 8/02
US Classification:
424401000
Abstract:
Methods for producing and using polymeric microstructures having a pre-determined geometry (e.g., rectangular prism, cube), and pre-determined surface characteristics are disclosed herein. The polymeric microstructures described herein are particularly useful as microcarriers in cell culture applications because they provide high surface areas, and improved surface/volume ratios over currently available microstructures, and can be manufactured to have pre-determined physiochemical characteristics (e.g., substrate curvature, texture, shape, porosity, surface chemistry) to optimize compatibility with a pre-determined type of cell (e.g., bacterial, animal, mammalian, human) to be cultured. The polymeric microstructures described herein are also particularly useful in tissue engineering (e.g., bone engineering) applications.
