摘要:
Photoreceptor scaffolds and scaffold systems including the photoreceptor scaffolds are described herein. The scaffolds and scaffold systems can be used for transplantation of organized photoreceptor tissue, with or without RPE, which may improve grafted cell survival, integration, and functional visual rescue. Particularly, the photoreceptor scaffold is structured from a biocompatible film, patterned with an array of unique through-holes having a curvilinear cell receiver and at least one cell guide channel.

Methods and materials for making complex, living, vascularized tissues for organ and tissue replacement, especially complex and/or thick, structures, such as liver tissue is provided. Tissue lamina is made in a system comprising an apparatus having (a) a first mold or polymer scaffold, a semi-permeable membrane, and a second mold or polymer scaffold, wherein the semi-permeable membrane is disposed between the first and second molds or polymer scaffolds, wherein the first and second molds or polymer scaffolds have means defining microchannels positioned toward the semi-permeable membrane, wherein the first and second molds or polymer scaffolds are fastened together; and (b) animal cells. Methods for producing complex, three-dimensional tissues or organs from tissue lamina are also provided.

摘要:
A microplate is provided herein having a plate body with at least one well formed therein, the well having a first open end, a second end, an aperture being formed in the second end, and a side wall extending between the first end and the second end. The microplate further has a permeable membrane extending at least partially across the aperture formed in the second end. A microplate is provided with a permeable membrane which allows not only for removal of certain solutes from a solution (high or low molecular weight solutes), but also allows for separation of macromolecular mixtures and degradation of the membrane. The microplate is also provided with an integrated top assembly or integrated inserts. Also provided herein are methods of culturing systems in the microplates described.

摘要:
The present invention provides a photodegradable cross-linking agent capable of manufacturing a photodegradable gel, which has appropriate moisture content and water solubility as a cell carrier and has strength that makes it possible to construct a complicated three-dimensional microstructure. The photodegradable cross-linking agent of the present invention includes a main chain 2 which is composed of branched polyethylene glycol having three or more branched chains and a photodegradable benzyl group 3 which is disposed on the terminus of the branched chains, in which the benzyl group has an active ester group 4, which is reactive with an amino group or a hydroxyl group, and one or more nitro groups in a benzene ring.
