MULTIPLICATION OF CELLULAR TISSUE

摘要

There is disclosed a method of producing tissue from one cell type in vitro, comprising the steps of: a) contacting a porous substrate suitable for growing cells with growth factor specific for growth of said cells in vitro; b) subsequently seeding the cells onto the porous substrate; and c) maintaining the seeded porous substrate under conditions suitable for cell growth to thereby produce a confluent monolayer of tissue or uniformly differentiated multilayer tissue. The obtained tissue is morphologically similar to its in vivo counterpart.
