    摘要: Polymeric materials are used to make a pliable, non-toxic, injectable porous template for vascular ingrowth. The pore size, usually between approximately 100 and 300 microns, allows vascular and connective tissue ingrowth throughout approximately 10 to 90% of the matrix following implantation, and the injection of cells uniformly throughout the implanted matrix without damage to the cells or patient. The introduced cells attach to the connective tissue within the matrix and are fed by the blood vessels. The preferred material for forming the matrix or support structure is a biocompatible synthetic polymer which degrades in a controlled manner by hydrolysis into harmless metabolites, for example, polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid, polyorthoester, polyanhydride, or copolymers thereof. The rate of tissue ingrowth increases as the porosity and/or the pore size of the implanted devices increases. The time required for the tissue to fill the device depends on the polymer crystallinity and is less for amorphous polymers versus semicrystalline polymers. The vascularity of the advancing tissue is consistent with time and independent of the biomaterial composition and morphology.

    摘要: A matrix structure containing attached cells such as endocrine cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells or genitourinary cells is implanted in a patient adjacent tissue having a high surface area and vasculature such as mesentery, omentum or peritoneum tissue. Large volumes of cells can be attached to the matrix and the matrix implanted with minimum trauma and blood loss into a patient to produce a functional organ equivalent. Multiple matrix structures containing cells can be implanted to functionally resemble naturally occurring organs. Implanting multiple matrices between folds of the mesentery is particularly well suited for growth of endocrine structures, including liver, pancreas, and adrenal gland. The matrix structure is preferably formed from a biodegradable artificial polymer. Collagen and non-biodegradable materials can also be used, and the matrix structure can be overlaid with a material that enhances cell attachment. Materials such as angiogenesis factors can be incorporated into a matrix and implanted prior to implanting the matrix containing cells or the materials can be incorporated into the matrix containing cells. Cells attached to the matrix may be cultured in vitro prior to implanting. Matrix structures containing different types of cells can be implanted juxtapositioned with each other.

    摘要: Methods and compositions are described herein for reconstruction or augmentation of breast tissue. Dissociated cells, preferably muscle cells, are implanted in combination with a suitable biodegradable, polymeric matrix to form new tissue. There are two forms of matrices which can be used: a polymeric hydrogel formed of a material such as alginate having cells suspended therein, and a fibrous matrix having an interstitial spacing between about 100 and 300 microns. Preferred polymeric materials are those degrading over about one to two months, such as polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymers. The matrices can be seeded prior to implantation or implanted, allowed to vascularize, then seeded with cells. In a preferred embodiment, the cell-matrix structures are implanted in combination with tissue expander devices. As cell-matrix is implanted, or cells proliferate and form new tissue, the expander size is decreased, until it can be removed and the desired reconstruction or augmentation is obtained. The preferred cell types are muscle cells, although other types of mesenchymal cells, fibroblasts, chondrocytes, and adipocytes can be used. Cells obtained from tissue such as the labia can be used for specialized applications such as formation of a nipple type tissue. Other materials, such as bioactive molecules that enhance vascularization of the implanted tissue and/or which inhibit ingrowth of fibrotic tissue, can be implanted with the matrix to enhance development of more normal tissue.
