International Classification:
A61K 35/12, A61M 37/00, A61M 5/31, C12N 5/02
US Classification:
424 937, 435374, 435325, 604522, 604506
Abstract:
A method of repairing diseased or dysfunctional organs or of establishing a model system of a disease state is provided. For repairing diseased organs, the method involves engraftment of cells from healthy tissue of the diseased or dysfunctional organ admixed with gel-forming biomaterials and nutrient medium, signaling molecules and extracellular matrix components that can be made insoluble rapidly upon transplantation to form a graft. In this way, the graft mimics the complexity of the native microenvironment with a minimum number of components that allow transplantation of cells to successfully engraft, expand and then rebuild part or the entirety of the diseased or dysfunctional organ. In the case of using grafting methods for establishing a disease model, diseased cells may be transplanted in the biomaterials and into experimental hosts.

Jian Wang - Chapel Hill NC, US
International Classification:
C12N005/08
US Classification:
435/370000, 435/366000
Abstract:
A cell support system useful for the implantation of living cells in a subject comprises a solid substrate, typically formed from a biologically inert material. The substrate has a textured surface portion, with the textured surface portion defining a plurality of recessed cavities therein. A plurality of live cells to be implanted are deposited on the textured surface portion so that the cells (or progeny thereof) are protected from mechanical dislodgment.
