Regenerating Bone Tissue Using Resorbable Porous Microspheres

Porous Glass Microspheres A tailored, single-stage and scalable manufacturing process In brief Porous glass microspheres (MS) are produced via a novel flame spheroidisation process, enabling precise tailoring of MS porosity, size, chemistry and other variables to address a wide range of potential applications. Compared to other manufacturing techniques,...

Novel polymers which resist bacterial attachment

Antimicrobial Urinary Catheter The Opportunity ·We have developed a novel polymer which prevents bacterial adhesion. ·We are using it to coat urinary catheters to prevent encrustation and catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). ·We have shown that not only is the coating non-toxic and non-irritant, but that in vivo its use dramatically...

A negative / counter selection marker for use in clostridia

Genetic manipulation of ClostridiumSummaryA research team led by Prof Nigel Minton has developed ways to engineer species of Clostridium to either introduce news genes into their chromosome or to delete gene sequences from their genome. The Clostridia have until now been recalcitrant species for gene manipulation, however, our new technology enables...
