  • Method and compositions of a bioartificial kidney suitable for use in vivo or ex vivo
    Patent number: 5686289
    Abstract: A novel cell seeded hollow fiber bioreactor is described as a potential bioartificial kidney. Renal cells are seeded along a hollow fiber in a perfused bioreactor to reproduce the ultrafiltration function and transport function of the kidney. Maintenance of tissue specific function and ultrastructure suggest that this bioreactor provides an economical device for treating renal failure as well as studying renal tubululogenesis in vitro.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 7, 1995
    Date of Patent: November 11, 1997
    Assignee: The University of Michigan
    Inventors: H. David Humes, Deborah A. Cieslinski
