Title:
METHOD OF CULTURING VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS, CULTURE DEVICE AND MEDICAL MATERIAL OBTAINED BY THE CULTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/138973
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
It is intended to provide a method of culturing vascular smooth muscle cells while sustaining the normal function of the cells, a culture device therefor, and a material for regenerative medicine. In this method, use is made of the fact that vascular smooth muscle cells recognize elastin as an extracellular matrix and grow using the same. Namely, a method of culturing vascular smooth muscle cells on elastin; a culture device in which elastin is fixed on the surface where cells grow; a culture device in which the surface where cells grow comprises a molded article made of elastin; and a medical material which is obtained by culturing vascular smooth muscle cells by using such a culture device.
