UW awarded a patent for electro-spinning co-developed by LFP resident


The University of Washington, Seattle, has been assigned a patent filed December 12, 2006 (7,981,353), developed by Stuart B. Mitchell, Lake Forest Park, WA, and Joan E. Sanders, Sammamish, WA, for a "method for controlled electrospinning."

According to reporter Satyaban Rath, "An electrospinning apparatus and methodology is described that produces medical devices, such as scaffolds that induce the formation of a natural fibrous structure (primarily collagen and elastin) in a tissue-engineered medical device." These are similar to or mimic the structure of animal tissue.

  1. Why is Deputy Mayor Hall talking about trees in some yet unidentified suburb? Is he advocating and implementing policy Snohomish County, his employer; or is he implementing the best policy for Shoreline?
