23 Jul YARN FOR CELL CULTURE SUPPORT, AND FABRIC FOR CELL CULTURE SUPPORT INCLUDING SAME
Abstract
Provided is a yarn for a cell culture support. The yarn according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of twisted monofilament strands, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of twisted monofilament strands are untwisted such that spaces are formed between the monofilament strands in order to prevent density-dependent inhibition of cultured cells and increase a specific surface area for cell contact. Accordingly, as a microenvironment yarn appropriate for the movement, proliferation, and differentiation of cells being cultured is realized, the cell proliferationrate and cell survival rate can be enhanced. Also, as a space for cell proliferation is maximally realized in a limited space in the support, a large amount of cells can be simultaneously cultured, and, because phenomenon of the suppression of cell proliferation due to contact between cells is prevented, cell proliferation can steadily continue. Furthermore, cells cultured through the yarn can becultured in a shape/structure that is more appropriate for being applied to an in vitro experimental model or being implanted in the body of an animal, and can be widely applied in various products used in cell culturing fields or tissue engineering fields such as bioreactors, cell culture containers, or kits for implantation in a body.
