A new process for culturing anchorage dependent mammalian cells comprises growing the cells in the presence of an aqueous medium on the surface of a sheet of synthetic polymer gel that is swollen by the aqueous medium. The cells are for instance fibroblasts and/or epithelial cells. The polymer gel usually comprises a copolymer of hydroxyethylacrylate and hydroxyethyl methacrylate. The medium can contain growth factors, for instance epidermal and/or fibroblast growth factor. The product can be used as a wound dressing, especially for use as a skin replacement for instance in burn treatment. |
