    摘要: The invention features modular cell culturing devices including one or more flat-plate modules, and is based on the discovery that if the flows of liquid medium and oxygenated fluid are separated by a gas-permeable, liquid-impermeable membrane, and the cells are grown attached to the liquid side of the membrane, the device can be used to culture cells with transport of oxygen through the membrane (i.e., direct oxygenation), without regard for the flow rate of the liquid medium passing through the device. The new flow-through cell culturing devices can thus be used to culture cells, e.g., hepatocytes, with high levels of cell function in organ, e.g., liver, assist systems, for production of cells, for production of cell-derived products, such as, proteins or viruses, or for systems to treat biological liquids to remove toxins, such as, ammonia, or add cell-synthesized products, or both.

    摘要: A method for preserving biological material includes the steps of placing the biological material in thermal contact with a cryogenically coolable environment, cooling the surrounding environment to a temperature below the glass phase transition temperature of the biological material, applying radiant energy to the biological material to melt at least a portion of the biological material, and rapidly stopping the application of radiant energy to the biological material to rapidly cool and varify the melted portion of the biological material. The method produces cooling rates so rapid that the biological material is vitrified without an opportunity for ice crystals to form.

    摘要: A preservation method for biological material having cell membranes includes reversibly porating the cell membranes; loading a bio-protective agent having bio-preservation properties to a predetermined intracellular concentration; preparing the bio-protective agent loaded biological material for storage; storing the biological material; recovering the stored biological material from storage; and reversing the cell membrane poration. H5 .alpha.-toxin, a genetically engineered mutant of Staphylococcus aureus .alpha.-hemolysin, may be used as a porating agent. Non-permeating sugars such as trehalose and sucrose may be used as the bio-protective agent.

    摘要: This invention is directed to cryopreservation of harvested mammalian tissues and living cultured tissue equivalents made by in vitro technology. The invention involves immersing a mammalian tissue or cultured tissue equivalent in a cryoprotectant solution, agitating the cryoprotectant solution and the immersed tissue to achieve effective penetration of the cryoprotectant solution into the tissue, and then freezing the tissue at a very slow freezing rate at 0.3.degree. C. or less/min. In the freezing step, extracellular ice formation is initiated by seeding. The cryopreserved tissue may be stored for indefinite periods of time prior to use. The cultured tissue equivalent is an in vitro model of the equivalent human tissue, such as skin or cornea, which, when retrieved from storage can be used for transplantation or implantation in vivo or for screening compounds in vitro.

    摘要: Living cells can be selectively and reversibly bound to functionalized dissolvable material (e.g., cross-linked hydrogel compositions) and subsequently released from the composition as viable cells. In some examples, the cells are released by reducing the degree of cross-linking within a functionalized hydrogel composition and/or dissolving the functionalized hydrogel composition bound to the cells. The functionalized hydrogel compositions can be adhered to silicon- and silicon-oxide containing surfaces, such as glass and aminated silicon. The living cells can be isolated from biological samples, such as blood, by selectively binding certain cells from the sample to the functionalized hydrogel, removing unbound cells and later releasing viable bound cells from the functionalized hydrogel.
