MUMBAI, India, Nov. 28 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202531107639 A) filed by National Institute Of Technology, Rourkela, Orissa, on Nov. 6, for 'a protein hydrogel for wound healing and bone cell viability and process of preparing thereof.'
Inventor(s) include Behera, Mr. Devi Prasanna; Sahoo, Prof. Harekrushna; Dash, Ms. Kalpanarani; Mishra, Prof. Monalisa; Roy, Ms. Samadrita; and Verma, Prof. Devendra.
The application for the patent was published on Nov. 28, under issue no. 48/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Embodiments herein discloses protein hydrogel for wound healing comprising a primary structural framework of a proteinaceous matrix, wherein the proteinaceous matrix constituted of unfolded and aggregated proteins; and a glycan encapsulated within the proteinaceous matrix; wherein the protein hydrogel exhibits enhanced porosity, superior water-holding capacity, and improved hemocompatibility. The process (700) comprises preparing a proteinaceous solution by taking 70 mg/ml of protein from a protein source; heating the proteinaceous solution at 850 C for 10 minutes for partially unfolding the protein; adding a reducing agent for complete unfolding of the protein by reducing the disulfide bonds; aggregating the proteins to form a proteinaceous framework; adding hydrogen peroxide to the solution for the crosslinking of the protein; and incorporating hyaluronic acid within the proteinaceous framework to form a composite protein glycan hydrogel."
