Support and System for Engineered Tissue

The present disclosure relates to tissue supports for use with engineered tissues and organoids, such as cardiac organoid chambers. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the tissue supports are provided with a fluid-impermeable resilient member that is resiliently deformable during testing by cultured tissues formed on the surface of the tissue support.

METHOD OF CULTURING HUMAN INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS, CULTURE OF HUMAN INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS, AND METHOD OF PRODUCING CEREBRAL ORGANOIDS

A method of culturing human induced pluripotent stem cells includes inoculating human induced pluripotent stem cells in a culture medium at an inoculation density of 1.0×10.sup.4 to 1.0×10.sup.6 cells/cm.sup.2 in a culture vessel and subjecting the human induced pluripotent stem cells to two-dimensional culturing. A method of producing cerebral organoids includes culturing a culture of the human induced pluripotent stem cells obtained by the method of culturing human induced pluripotent stem cells in a culture medium containing a BMP inhibitor and a transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) inhibitor to form cell aggregates, culturing the cell aggregates in a culture medium containing a Wnt signal transduction pathway potentiator and an extracellular matrix, and subjecting the culturing obtained in the culturing the cell aggregates to spinner culturing.

FAT FRAGMENTATION DEVICE AND METHOD
20220135930 · 2022-05-05 ·

The present invention provides a device for adipose tissue processing, microfragmentation and facilitation of mechanical separation of adipose derived stem cells (“ADSCs”), methods of using the device to generate a stromal vascular fraction (“SVF”) and methods of the SVF.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVED MESENCHYMAL STEM CELL HARVESTING

A mesenchymal stem cell harvesting system and method for increasing the efficiency of collecting and processing physiological fluids containing mesenchymal stem cells from a cavity within a patient's skeletal system. Microenvironments risk in MSC production and concentration within a cavity, for example the patient's ilium, are penetrated with a pointed instrument used to create an aperture in the hard cortical bone forming the cavity followed by the insertion of an aspiration device which extracts one or more samples of cancellous bone, bone marrow, bone marrow blood and other aspirated material. The aspirate is rinsed and may be filtered to remove unwanted material and to increase the concentration and purity of the mesenchymal stem cells in the aspirant far beyond levels formerly obtainable for use in autologous treatment of the patient.
