Latest Patent Applications
Jessica's latest patent application is titled "Macroporous Bioengineered Scaffolds for Cell Transplantation." This invention provides highly porous, biocompatible, and biostable scaffold constructs aimed at improving overall cell engraftment, survival, function, and long-term viability. The scaffolds are designed to offer mechanical protection to implanted cells, facilitate retrievability from a subject, and enable both intra-device vascularization and spatial distribution of cells within the device. The surface or material of the scaffold may be modified with various adhesion proteins and biological factors to enhance cell adherence and viability. Additionally, the scaffold may incorporate agents with slow or sustained release characteristics to support engraftment and long-term viability. The implanted cells may include insulin-producing cells such as islets.
Conclusion
Jessica Weaver is a promising inventor whose work in bioengineering has the potential to transform cell transplantation techniques. Her innovative approach to scaffold design reflects her commitment to advancing medical technology.
