Title: Andrew Shering - Innovator in Skin Equivalent Culture
Introduction
Andrew Shering is an inventor based in Manchester, GB. He currently works at Smith & Nephew Orthopaedics AG. Although he has not yet been granted any patents, his work focuses on innovative methods in the field of tissue engineering.
Latest Patent Applications
Andrew Shering has filed several patent applications related to skin equivalent culture. One of his latest applications discloses a method of preparing a collagenous construct. This method involves casting viable collagen-producing human dermal fibroblasts in a support matrix comprising fibrin onto a support material. The process includes incubating the support matrix with the fibroblasts in a collagen-inducing medium, which enhances collagen production and degrades the fibrin. The final steps involve rendering the collagenous construct free of the fibroblasts and cross-linking it with a chemical or ultraviolet light. Another application outlines a similar method, emphasizing the use of viable collagen-producing cells, including human dermal fibroblasts, to create a collagenous construct.
Conclusion
Andrew Shering is making significant contributions to the field of tissue engineering through his innovative patent applications. His work in skin equivalent culture showcases his dedication to advancing medical technology.
