GENETICALLY-ENGINEERED DERMAL MICRO ORGAN

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a Dermal Micro Organ (DMO), and to provide a method and apparatus for producing and using the same.

SOLUTION: The DMO includes a plurality of dermal components which substantially retain the micro-architecture and three dimensional structure of a dermal tissue. The dermal components, which are an genetically-engineered DMO, have dimensions selected so as to allow passive diffusion of adequate nutrients and gases to cells of the DMO and diffusion of cellular waste out of the cells so as to minimize cellular toxicity and concomitant death due to insufficient nutrition and accumulation of waste in the DMO.
