23 Jul YARN FOR CELL CULTURE SCAFFOLD, PLY YARN COMPRISING SAME, AND FABRIC COMPRISING SAME PLY YARN
Abstract
Provided is a yarn for cell culture scaffolds. A yarn according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a plurality of twists formed by twisting one or more monofilament strands; and a yarn valley formed as a gap between the twists to provide a three-dimensional growth space and a moving route for cells. According to the invention, microenvironments suitable for the migration, proliferation, and differentiation of cells that are cultured can be realized by the yarn, thereby enhancing cell proliferation rate and viability. In addition, the proliferation spaces and moving routes for cells are established as uniformly as possible in each scaffold, easily making cell cluster roads more uniform. Further, the cells can be cultured through the environment to have a shape and structure suitable for use as an in vitro experiment model or for application to a transplant into animals and can find a wide spectrum of applications in various products used in the cell culture or tissue engineering field, including bioreactors, cell culture dishes, implantation kits, and the like.
