摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for producing a three-dimensional scaffold construct comprising encapsulated cells, the method comprising: (a) providing a solution comprising cells, a photoinitiator, and a plurality of units capable of forming polymer chains; (b) providing a photolithography instrument comprising a two-photon laser; and (c) using the instrument to apply the laser to the solution to activate the photoinitiator thereby facilitating polymerisation of said units to form polymer chains, and, cross-linking of the polymer chains; wherein the laser is applied to the solution in three-dimensions in a pre-defined pattern to assemble said construct, and said cells are encapsulated within the assembled construct.
摘要:
A conjugate is provided for cell processing, which comprises a magnetic particle and a surface modifier having specific affinity to a target cell. The particle and modifier are linked through a cleavable peptide bond. In a method of cell processing, the conjugate is attached to a target cell; the target cell attached to the conjugate is subject to magnetic processing; the peptide bond is cleaved to separate the processed target cell from the magnetic particle; the target cell separated from the magnetic particle is attached to a substrate. The magnetic particle may include an iron oxide, and the surface modifier may include a glucosamine. The particle and modifier may be linked by a linker comprising a protease recognition site and a peptide bond. The linker links the surface modifier to the particle, and cleavage of the peptide bond is catalyzed by a specific protease that recognizes the protease recognition site.

The method relates to the preparation of dry chitin forms of consistent shape that incorporates an advantageous additive such as fillers or reinforcement during the preparation process to give dry forms of chitin with consistent shape typically known as filler containing chitin or chitin composites.
摘要:
This invention relates to a method of preparing a form of chitin that has consistent shape in the dry form, is treated chemically such that it will swell when exposed to water to form a gel. The gel can be dried to give the dry form. The gel formation upon absorption/swelling in the presence of water and drying to give the dried form is reversible. The extent of swelling can be varied by suitably varying the chemical treatment.
