Title: Innovations by Leon M Bellan
Introduction
Leon M Bellan is an accomplished inventor based in Nashville, TN (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of bioreactor systems and biocompatible materials. With a total of 4 patents, his work focuses on advancing technologies that can enhance tissue engineering and bioprocessing.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is for bioreactor systems. These systems include a first frame and a second frame, a well plate, a motor plate, a motor, and a controller. The first frame defines a well plate inset and standoff insets for a first set of metal standoffs. The second frame defines a plurality of mounts and a plurality of insets for a second set of metal standoffs. A gear is positioned in each of the mounts, and a paddle is coupled to each of the gears. The well plate is positioned within the well plate inset, while the motor plate is supported by and connected to both sets of metal standoffs. The motor is mounted on the motor plate and operatively connected to one of the gears.
Another notable patent involves thermoresponsive FDM printer filament for forming vascular channels in hydrogels. This invention provides biocompatible polymer compositions and methods for printing such compositions using a fused deposition modeling printer to create a solid scaffold. The disclosed compositions include a thermoresponsive polymer, and the printed scaffold serves as a sacrificial template, providing a three-dimensional vascular structure upon temperature-dependent disintegration. This innovation is particularly useful for engineering thick tissues.
