<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dermal micro organ (DMO) and a method and apparatus of creating and using the DMO. <P>SOLUTION: The DMO comprises a plurality of dermal components, which substantially retain the micro-architecture and three dimensional structure of a dermal tissue from which they are derived, having 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. The method and apparatus for harvesting DMO are also provided. The apparatus for harvesting DMO has a support configuration to support a skin-related tissue structure from which the DMO is to be harvested, and a cutting tool able to separate the DMO from the skin-related tissue structure. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
