    摘要: The present invention comprises an implantable device that provides artificial tissues for repair, augmentation and reconstructive surgery which have mechanical properties comparable to the natural tissues that they supplement or replace. Such devices can be produced by a tissue engineering method comprising seeding a polymer matrix with a first cell type and a second cell type and culturing the seeded matrix under conditions suitable for cell growth or maintenance, whereby a tissue comprising a mixed cell population containing both the first and second cell types is produced. The tissue produced by this method contains a mixed population in which the two cell types are intimately associated without apparent stratification and has mechanical properties which are intermediate between similarly produced tissues containing either one of the two cell types. This invention is particularly useful in forming implantable structural members.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of providing an individual with a biological factor or intermediate thereof which comprises introducing into the individual Sertoli cells genetically altered to produce the biological factor or intermediate thereof. The genetically altered Sertoli cells are administered in an amount effective to produce the desired effect. Aside from producing the biological factor or intermediate thereof, the engineered Sertoli cells also create an immunologically privileged site. Vectors comprising a promoter which functions in Sertoli cells operably linked to coding sequence for a desired biological factor are also provided as are Sertoli cells comprising such vectors. A pharmaceutical composition comprising Sertoli cells genetically altered to produce a biological factor is also provided.

    摘要: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for growing and maintaining cells. A three-dimensional matrix, such as a hydrogel material, is seeded with cells and placed in a bioreactor having two compartments. The matrix is supported between the two compartments by first and second porous materials, which engage opposing surfaces of the matrix. A first media stream having certain properties is propagated through the first compartment, where it contacts one surface of the matrix via the first porous material. A second media stream having different properties is propagated through the second compartment such that it contacts the opposite surface of the matrix via the second porous material. Through migration of each stream at least partially into the matrix, various controlled gradients may be established within the matrix, encouraging growth of the cells. Such gradients include osmotic pressure, oscillating osmotic pressure, hydrostatic pressure, oxygen tension, and/or nutrient gradients.
