| 摘要 |
A tissue engineered testicular prosthesis (10) for the implanting within a patient comprises a scaffold comprising a biodegradable polymer scaffold having substantially elliptical body (20) in longitudinal cross-section replicating the shape of a testicle and a substantially circular cross-section in transverse cross-section, the biodegradable scaffold defining an interior and an exterior of the prosthesis (10), and the scaffold being seeded with disassociated chondrocytes or Leydig cells, or both chondrocytes and Leydig cells. The interior of the prosthesis (10) can be at least partially filled with testosterone. |
