Abstract:
A soft tissue device can incorporate a composite material comprising a gel and at least one nanostructure disposed within the gel. A soft tissue device can further incorporate biologically active materials such as cells, tissues. A method for healing a soft tissue defect while promoting soft tissue regeneration can include applying a soft tissue device to a soft tissue defect, wherein the composite material includes a gel and a nanostructure disposed within the gel. A method for manufacturing a soft tissue device for use in healing soft tissue defects can include providing a gel, disposing nanofibers within the gel, and a biologically active material.

Abstract:
Devices for and methods of treatment of metabolic syndromes are disclosed. Namely, the presently disclosed devices and methods are provided for affecting the function of the gastrointestinal endocrine system in key regions of the gut, thereby, producing therapeutic effects on obesity, diabetes and other metabolic syndromes. In some embodiments, the devices include multilayered bioadhesive patches delivered orally by dissolvable ingestible capsule, wherein various mechanisms are provided for anchoring the bioadhesive patches to the duodenal mucosa.

Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for treatment of metabolic syndromes. Namely, the presently disclosed compositions and methods are provided for affecting the function of the gastrointestinal endocrine system in key regions of the gut, thereby, producing therapeutic effects on obesity, diabetes and other metabolic disorders. The compositions include components for forming luminal barriers within the gastrointestinal tract of a subject where the barrier is created in-situ via interaction of resident mucin with the mucin-interacting agent.
