| 摘要 |
The present technology provides for a cell-synthesized biological particle, the processes for making a cell-synthesized particle, and a process for assembling such cell-synthesized particles into tissues and organs. The particles are synthesized in culture in vitro by living cells that produce natural extracellular matrix. Multiple particles can be assembled into tissues that have significant void space. The particles or tissues can act as a substrate for additional cell types. The particles or tissues can be further cultured in vitro to achieve favorable cell or extracellular matrix growth, organization or other desired characteristics. The particles or tissues can be devitalized or decellularized. The particles or tissues can be injected or implanted in a human to repair, enhance, or create a secretory, mechanical, or aesthetic function. |
