  • Bioengineered Tissue Constructs and Methods for Production and Use
    Publication number: 20110293666
    Abstract: Bioengineered constructs are formed from cultured cells induced to synthesize and secrete endogenously produced extracellular matrix components, e.g., without the requirement of exogenous matrix components or network support or scaffold members. The bioengineered constructs of the invention can be treated in various ways such that the cells of the bioengineered constructs can be devitalized and/or removed without compromising the structural integrity of the constructs. Moreover, the bioengineered constructs of the invention can be used in conjunction with biocompatible/bioremodelable solutions that allow for various geometric configurations of the constructs.
    Type: Application
