An exemplary embodiment of a culture vessel suitable is provided for a cultivation of cells and/or tissues. The exemplary vessel comprising at least one reversibly closable aperture in the vessel wall, and at least one surface-increasing substrate within the vessel, with the substrate being made of a single mold. According to another exemplary embodiment, a system can be provided comprising at least two vessels being interconnected via at least one aperture in their vessel wall, and a cultivation process using such a vessel or system, in which at least one type of cells, tissue, tissue-like cell cultures, organs, organ-like cell cultures, or multicellular organisms may be cultivated in the presence of at least one fluid or solid medium, e.g., provided for growing and/or cultivating the culture.
摘要:
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention related to medical implants, such as e.g. stents are provided. For example, the implant can comprise at least one hollow space or lumen within the structural material or structure of the device, other than a pore or pore system, which may be used as a reservoir for a specific amount of active ingredient to be released after implantation into the body.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions or combinations of materials for non-degradable and degradable implantable medical devices with regard to the setup of their signal generating properties and control of their therapeutic effectiveness, as well as to a method for the control of degradation of degradable or partially degradable medical devices composed like this, based on their signal generation, and to a method for supervision of their therapeutic effectiveness and/or the release of therapeutically active ingredients from such devices.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process of producing composite materials by a sol/gel-process, comprising carbon nanoparticles and organic polymer material. The invention further relates to composite materials, which are manufactured with the use of said sol/gel technology.
摘要:
The exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to an at least partially biodegradable implant suitable for implantation into a subject for repairing a bone or cartilage defect, comprising a matrix forming an open-celled structure having a plurality of interconnected spaces, whereas the channels of the matrix are substantially completely filled with metallic material particles, and wherein at least one of the metallic material or the matrix material is at least partially degradable in-vivo. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for repairing a bone or cartilage defect in a living organism, comprising implanting an implant according to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention into the defective bone or cartilage, or replacing the defective bone or cartilage at least partially.
摘要:
An exemplary embodiment of a reversibly closable vessel suitable for the cultivation of cells and/or tissues can be provided. The exemplary vessel can comprise at least one reversibly closable aperture in the vessel wall, a convection arrangement inside the vessel which can comprise at least one blade. The arrangement can be configured to generate and/or modulate a convection in a fluid within the vessel when the vessel and/or the blade is agitated The convection arrangement and/or the blade can be at least particularly made from a porous material.
摘要:
An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides an at least partially biodegradable medical implant having a plurality of in-vivo biodegradable organic polymer particles embedded in a matrix of a plurality of compressed metal-based particles. Methods for the manufacture thereof are also provided. The implant may preferably be further functionalized by inclusion of active ingredients such as therapeutically active agents or markers.
摘要:
Thermoset-based particles and processes for the manufacture thereof can be provided, where the particles may have a spherical or fibrous shape. A reaction mixture can be provided that includes a thermosetting resin, a crosslinker, a surface active agent, and a solvent. The reaction mixture can be an emulsion, a suspension or a dispersion which may optionally be sprayed or electrospun. Crosslinking of the resin can be performed by addition of an initiator or by exposing the reaction mixture to heat and/or radiation to form polymerized particles. The particles may be dried, sintered, pyrolyzed or carbonized, and/or impregnated with an active agent.
