REPRODUCTION AND UTILIZATION OF FUNCTIONAL HUMAN TISSUE

摘要

The present invention provides a method of growing smooth muscle cells in a host with the purpose of maintaining natural cellular function to reproduce lost or damaged smooth muscle tissue. In this method, smooth muscle cells are freed from isolated smooth muscle tissue, then cultured and injected into the host in combination with an extracellular matrix. The invention also provides a method of enriching the amount of smooth muscle cells in a mixture by differential adhesion.
