A Novel Method for Screening of Anti-Cancer Drugs: Availability of Screening in Acidic Medium
Authors: Toshihiko Fukamachi, Hiromi Saito and Hiroshi KobayashiThe inside of the human body is maintained within a narrow pH range around 7.4, but cancer nests are acidified, mainly due to insufficient blood circulation and impaired respiration. The activities of all enzymes are strictly dependent on pH, and hence many metabolic processes catalyzed by the pH-dependent enzymes decline as pH decreases in such acidified diseased areas, leading us to argue that the efficacy of inhibitors v Read More

Current Patents on Osteoinductive Molecules for Bone Tissue Engineering
Authors: Kevin W.H. Lo, Bret D. Ulery, Meng Deng, Keshia M. Ashe and Cato T. LaurencinBone formation via osteoinductive molecules is an established and promising approach for musculoskeletal regenerative therapies. Bone tissue engineering utilizing biocompatible scaffolds with osteoinductive molecules offers a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of bone defects and diseases. Currently, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) are the only FDA-approved protein-based Read More

Novel Polymer-Ceramics for Bone Repair and Regeneration
Authors: Meng Deng, Sangamesh G. Kumbar, Kevin W.-H. Lo, Bret D. Ulery and Cato T. LaurencinBone is composed primarily of an inorganic mineral phase of calcium phosphate and an organic phase of collagen. Reconstruction of large bone defects resulting from trauma, pathological degeneration, or congenital deformity is a significant medical challenge. Due to the limited availability and potential immunogenicity associated with autografts and allografts, tissue engineering has emerged as an alternative strategy to re Read More

Surgical Correction of Hyperopia, Myopia and Presbyopia Review of Recent Ophthalmological Patents
More LessThis paper presents and discusses a number of significant seminal patents on surgical correction of myopia, hyperopia and presbyopia. These patents essentially describe the devices and systems proposed to correct vision in the sense of ability for correct focusing on an image by correcting the eye length and the corneal curvature. In these developments the pioneering works of Helmholtz (Near Vision Accommod Read More

Recent Advancements in Ligament Replacement
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is important for knee stability and kinematics. It is also the most commonly injured ligament of the knee and due to its poor healing potential, severe damage warrants surgical intervention including complete replacement. Therefore, investigators have begun to pursue new techniques and devices for the repair, regeneration, and replacement of the ACL. These options involve the use of Read More
