23 Jul TISSUE ENGINEERING TENDON AND CONSTRUCTION METHODS IN VITRO THEREOF
Abstract
The invention discloses a tissue engineering graft, comprising:(a) pharmaceutically-acceptable biodegradable material; and (b) seed cells, which can be inoculated on the described biodegradable material and are selected from:(i) fibroblasts; (ii) adipose derived cells, or (iii) mixture of dermal fibroblasts and ASCs according to the ratio of 1:10000-10000:1. The graft can be prepared by mixing of seed cell and pharmaceutically-acceptable biodegradable material, obtaining a construct of seed cells and pharmaceutically-acceptable biodegradable material, then culturing the construct in a bioreactor in vitro. The graft can be used for repairing the defect of tendon tissues.
