Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods and materials for mitigating biological tissue adhesion are described herein. One method for mitigating adhesion to a biological tissue includes administering an effective amount of a self-assembling peptide solution to the biological tissue, wherein the self-assembling peptide is between about 7 amino acids and 32 amino acids in length and the self-assembling peptide solution forms a hydrogel under physiological conditions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 - 49 . (canceled) 50 . A method for mitigating adhesion to a target area of a biological tissue or between biological tissues using a self-assembling peptide solution, the method comprising: administering an effective amount of the self-assembling peptide solution to a biological tissue at a surgical site, wherein the self-assembling peptide comprises (RADA) 4 (SEQ ID NO:11); wherein the self-assembling peptide is about 2.5% w/v of the solution; wherein the self-assembling peptide solution forms a hydrogel under physiological conditions; wherein the hydrogel mitigates adhesion to the biological tissue or of another biological tissue to the biological tissue at a surgical site; wherein the hydrogel assists in healing of areas in which a surgical procedure was performed; and wherein the biological tissue comprises intraperitoneum, cecum, and/or intestine. 51 . The method of claim 50 , wherein the effective amount of the self-assembling peptide solution is approximately 0.1 mL per 1 cm 2 to approximately 5 mL per 1 cm 2 of target area. 52 . The method of claim 50 , wherein the effective amount of the self-assembling peptide solution is approximately 1 mL per 1 cm 2 of target area. 53 . The method of claim 50 , wherein the hydrogel is formed before administering the self-assembling peptide solution to the target area, or wherein the hydrogel is formed after administering the self-assembling peptide solution to said target area. 54 . The method of claim 50 , wherein the self-assembling peptide solution further comprises a biologically active agent. 55 . The method of claim 50 , wherein the self-assembling peptide solution is substantially free of cells and/or drugs. 56 . The method of claim 50 , wherein the self-assembling peptide solution is administered in vivo. 57 . The method of claim 50 , wherein the biological tissue is human tissue.
