摘要:
A method of making a three-dimensional microtissue comprising the reaction of at least two cytocompatible polymer solutions, each polymer comprising complementary reactive groups capable of spontaneous reaction, at least one of which solutions additionally contains cells. The method allows the rapid, efficient production of microtissues useful for purposes such as pharmaceutical screening and tissue reconstruction.

摘要:
A container for forming a cell aggregate is provided in which a group represented by a general formula of: (in the formula, each of R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 is independently a an alkyl group with a carbon number of 1 or more and 6 or less and m is an integer of 2 or more and 6 or less.) and at least one of an amino group, a carboxyl group, and a hydroxyl group are present near a surface thereof.
摘要:
A method for culturing hepatocytes, wherein hepatocytes embedded in an extracellular matrix is placed on a gas-permeable membrane and the hepatocytes are cultured while being supplied with oxygen from the gas-permeable membrane side. By this, the polarity in the hepatocytes can be induced and a bile canaliculus can be formed in a short period of time. Further, the formed polarity can be maintained for a longer period.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of 3D culturing systems for the derivation of hepatocyte-like cells from human pluripotent stem cells (hPS). In particular, the invention concerns the directed differentiation and maturation of human pluripotent stem cells into hepatocyte like cells in 3D hollow fiber capillary bioreactors.
摘要:
The present invention concerns human hepatocyte cell line cultures and their use in bioartificial liver (BAL) systems. These systems are used to treat subjects suffering from liver failure to temporarily compensate for loss of hepatocellular function and generally comprise a bioreactor loaded with functional liver cells. Until now, it has been problematic to acquire cells with a broad spectrum metabolic functionality, resembling that of freshly isolated human hepatocytes, to the extent that they are in fact suitable for successful clinical BAL application The present inventors have managed to develop human hepatocyte cell line cultures that display broad-spectrum metabolic functionality such as to render them particularly suitable for effective clinical BAL application.
摘要:
The invention is directed to compositions of cell aggregates and methods for making and using the cell aggregates where the aggregates comprise cells that are not embryonic stern cells but can differentiate into cell types of at least two of ectodermal, undo dermal, and mesodermal embryonic germ layers, e.g., stem cells.
