TRL Level: 3

Tissue Scaffolding for UNAM School of Chemistry Institute of Materials Research, UNAM

Biomaterial for myocardial regeneration, in people who suffered a heart attack, reducing the probability of having a second heart attack by 40%. Cardiac Tissue regeneration

Features and technical specifications

  • The production of tissue scaffolds for myocardial regeneration can be characterized as a nanotechnological product, it requires a laboratory with top quality services, as well as chemical reagents analytical grade. The glass material must be inert to heat resistance, equipment and instruments at best verified.

Technology and Competitive Advantages

  • Feasible to obtain without the need of a chemical plant of large proportions, in fact, it can be obtained at an industrial level in small laboratories but subject to controlled conditions of environmental variables.

Technology Applications

VALIDATED APPLICATION: 

  • Tissue scaffolding for (cardiac patch) for the induction of regeneration of damaged tissue during a heart attack.

POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS  

  • Biological pacemaker in the human heart.

Intelectual Property

PATENT

  • In process:
