Title:
METHOD FOR IN-VITRO PRODUCTION OF TISSUE ENGINEERED AUTO- AND ALLOGRAFTS SUITABLE FOR GUARDED CRYOPRESERVATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/098367
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention pertains to a method for the generation of a living cell based tissue engineered organ and/or tissue analogous structure having mechanical and/or functional properties comprising the steps of providing a organ and/or tissue, wherein the organ and/or tissue has the capacity of functioning or forming the native organ/tissue corresponding to the replacement; and wherein the tissue engineered organ and/or tissue analogous structure is made of/contains material incorporating cryoactive substances and/or particles. Furthermore the invention pertains to a scaffold for use in such a method, to a tissue engineered replacement structure made using this method, in particular in the form of a vessel and/or a heart valve.
