摘要:
The invention is an automated advanced tissue engineering system that comprises a housing in which one or more tissue engineering modules are accomodated together with a central microprocessor that controls functioning of the tissue engineering modules. In one embodiment, the tissue engineering module comprises a housing supporting one or more bioreactor chamber assemblies and a fluid reservoir operationally engageable with the housing. The bioreactor chamber assemblies may be selected depending on the end product option desired and may include, for example, a cell therapy bioreactor chamber, a single implant bioreactor chamber and a multiple (mosaic) implant bioreactor chamber.

摘要:
The invention provides systems, modules, bioreactor and methods for the automated culture, proliferation, differentiation, production and maintenance of tissue engineered products. In one aspect is an automated tissue engineering system comprising a housing, at least one bioreactor supported by the housing, the bioreactor facilitating physiological cellular functions and/or the generation of one or more tissue constructs from cell and/or tissue sources. A fluid containment system is supported by the housing and is in fluid communication with the bioreactor. One or more sensors are associated with one or more of the housing, bioreactor or fluid containment system for monitoring parameters related to the physiological cellular functions and/or generation of tissue constructs; and a microprocessor linked to one or more of the sensors. The systems, methods and products of the invention find use in various clinical and laboratory settings.

摘要:
A cartilage array comprises a plurality of different polynucleotide probe spots stably associated with a solid surface of a carrier, whereby each of said spots is made of a unique polynucleotide that corresponds to one specific cartilage marker gene. Said specific cartilage marker genes preferably are at least in part selected from a group of 467 genes that could be shown to be cartilage related.
摘要:
The present invention relates to in vitro cell culture conditions wherein transfected cells containing promoter-reporter constructs are cultivated in a 3D tissue-like environment. The referred 3D culture conditions may eventually implement appropriate biomaterial or scaffolds.
摘要:
A substance, which contains anti-inflammatory substances, anti-microbial substances, anti-tumor substances, anti-viral substances, and/or bone stimulating substances, as an additive, can be added to an UHMWPE material for the production of a medical implant for imparting benign body response properties to the medical implant.
