CRYSTAL CARRIERS FOR CELL CULTURE

摘要

Carrier materials are provided for the cultivation of anchorage-dependent cells, which materials comprise biocompatible crystals that allow normal cell growth and development. Examples of crystals are calcite, calcium (R,R)- and (S,S)-tartrate tetrahydrate, brushite and gypsum crystals. The cells, both human and non-human animal cells, can be cultivated using said carriers in a medium containing serum or in serum-free medium.
