英國Reinnervate
英國科研人員開發出一種獨特的實驗室細胞和組織培養技術,其培養條件與人體內環境很相似,相關論文發表在近日出版的《解剖學雜志》上。該技術利用一種塑料支架,使細胞在一種更接近體內細胞生長環境的三維環境中生長。而此前,細胞培養均在培養皿上進行。科研人員還發現,利用這個系統,能夠更有效地進行藥物研發,并減少一些不必要的動物實驗。
這項技術的專利權由英國杜倫大學的研究人員及其附屬的ReInnervate有限公司持有。該研究小組獲得的大量證據顯示,這是一種成本低、操作簡單的三維細胞培養方式。
reinnervate is developing new and innovative ways to manage the growth and function of cultured cells. Its technologies will improve the performance, reproducibility and relevance of in vitro cell-based assays.
reinnervate is a spin-out biotechnology company emanating from research conducted at Durham University. The company was established in June 2002 to commercialise technology developed by its founding scientist Professor Stefan Przyborski working in the field of cell biology but with a particular interest in stem cell biology and developmental neuroscience.
reinnervate specialises in the development of enabling technologies that will facilitate research into cell growth, differentiation and function in vitro. These technologies have immediate applications in basic research and product development in the academic, healthcare, biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors.
The Company’s headquarters are located at NETPark Sedgefield England and include state-of-the-art research, development and production facilities.
