    摘要: Disclosed is a bio-electrospinning technique for preparing a cell-containing, oriented, continuous tubular scaffold, made of biodegradable polymer, designed for use as a nerve guide conduit (NGC) in nerve regeneration. With a coaxial spinneret, the PC-12 cell medium solution was co-electrospun into a core of tubular fibers, with PLA on the outer shell. The resulted fibers' morphology was characterized via SEM and optical microscopy, and following structural characteristics were found: 1. the larger, hollow fibers had diameters in tenth of microns and wall thicknesses around few microns, 2. an orientation in a preferred direction with the aid of a high-rotating collection device. The fluorescent PC12 cells embedded within the scaffold were cultured and nerve growth factor was added. We observed cells could not only survive the process, but also sustain their viability by undergoing differentiation process, extending neurite along the micro tubular scaffold in the desired direction. All these results demonstrate its potential application for advanced NGC.

    摘要: The present invention is a natural, cell-free tissue replacement that does not require difficult or extensive preparation made by washing tissue replacement in a solution including one or more sulfobetaines and an anionic surface-active detergent and washing the tissue replacement in serial solutions of the buffered salt to remove excess detergent. The natural, cell-free tissue replacement may be a nerve graft that supports axonal regeneration, guides the axons toward the distal nerve end and/or is immunologically tolerated. Other forms of the invention are a composition and kit prepared by the method of making a native, cell-free tissue replacement. The present invention may be modified for use in diagnostic, therapeutic, and prophylactic applications.

    摘要: This invention discloses methods to attach and grow a monolayer of cultured human retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE) for use in implantation into the brain as a treatment for Parkinson's disease. The invention will enable the delivery of the transplanted RPE cells in microcarriers composed of intergratable or degradable substrates, including glass, plastic, polymer gels, gelatin and collagen, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGS). The invention involves the coating of the microcarrier surface with diamond-like carbon, alone or in combination with attachment factors such as laminin, fibronectin, RGDS, and extracellular matrix to increase the attachment of the RPE to the surface. Additionally the invention discloses the use of bFGF conjugated with polycarbophil, EGF conjugated with polycarbophil and heparin sulfate as also being incorporated into the micro carrier to augment attachment and proliferation of RPE during transplantation.

    摘要: This present invention describes a method of coating a polymer surface with diamond-like carbon (DLC) to render it useful as a carrier for cells derived from neural crest origin, preferable neuronal cells that form dendrites. The biopolymer to be coated with the DLC will include biodegradable polymers and other implantable biopolymers to act as a carrier system for cell transplantation into the various parts of the body, including the brain, the eye, the central and peripheral nervous system, the lung, the liver, the spleen, the kidney, and the bone and cartilage. The biopolymer can be in sheet form or microparticle form, and can be imbedded with, or incorporated into during its synthesis, attachment or growth promoting reagents to enhance and support neuraonal call attachment and growth. This coating method can also augment other coating agents such as extracellular matrix (ECM) secreted by cultured bovine corneal endothelial cells, as well as adhesive molecules such as fibronectin, laminin, and RGDS. The coating step can be a sequential process where the DLC layer will be aded on top of an ECM coated surface or an attachment factor coated surface.
