Q

Why did we choose adipose tissue?

A
  1. Higher success rate of MSC isolation over umbilical cord tissue
  2. Adipose tissue had the highest colony frequency of the three
  3. Can be cultured longer and has a higher proliferation capacity than bone marrow
  4. Shows the same differentiation capacity as bone marrow

Q

What mechanical properties should we test?

A
  1. Storage (dynamic mechanical thermal analysis)
  2. Compressive strength
  3. Cross link density (swelling tests)
18
Q

What is hyaluronic acid?

A

A disaccharide polymer with an alternating pattern of Beta 1, 3 glucuronic acid and Beta 1,4 N-acetylglucosamine

19
Q

How are we going to increase the length it takes to degrade?

A

Esterification with a benzyl group on the carboxyl group of the beta 1,3 glucuronic acid.

20
Q

What process are we going to use to produce our crosslinked HA?

A
  1. HA tetrabutlyammohnium salt solubilized in dimethylsulfoxide at 25C
  2. Add benzyl bromide and tetrabutlyammonium iodide and kept at 30C for 12 hours
  3. Poured into ethyl acetate under constant agitation
  4. Filter precipitate and wash 4 times with ethyl acetate
  5. Vacuum dry for 24 hours at 30C
21
Q

How long will our 100% esterified HA take to biodegrade?

A

Two to three months

22
Q

Where is HA naturally found?

A

ECM of skin, umbilical cord tissue, embryonic tissue, and malignant tissues

23
Q

What are the biproducts of HA degradation?

A

Ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water via the Kreb’s cycle

24
Q

Why did we choose HA?

A
  1. Cell adhesion
  2. Growth
  3. Migration of keratinocytes
  4. Regulating ECM organization and metabolism
  5. Non-immunogenicity
  6. Reduce scaring
25
Q

How does HA help with organization of the ECM?

A

Interacts with surface cell receptors CD44 and RHAMM which sustain basal mobility

26
Q

What process are we using to form our HA derivative fibers?

A

Melt blowing developed by Dr. Shambaugh, Dr. Papapvassilou, and Mr. Shambaugh

27
Q

How many grams/hole/min are used during melt blowing?

A

29
Q

Where will our facilities be located?

A

Oklahoma City, Louisville KY, Reno NV, and Hartford CT.

30
Q

Why did we choose these cities?

A

Economic feasibility, coverage, proximity to metropolitan areas, shipping within 48 hours

31
Q

What will be our total man hours per week?

A

32
Q

What OSHA requirements must we meet?
