  • Hybrid Biomedical Device Fabricated From Biomaterials and Coated With a Natural Extra Cellular Matrix (ECM) Coating
    Publication number: 20090238853
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hybrid biomedical device formed from a prefabricated biomedical device and coated with an extracellular matrix coating which is produced by directly culturing mammalian cells on the prefabricated biomedical device. The purposes of applying such an ECM coating is to regulate the biological and cellular responses of a living tissue or a cellular environment that the hybrid biomedical device is intended to interact with. The ECM coating will provide necessary biological cues, biomechanical cues, structural cues, etc to regulate the biological and cellular responses of a living system. The invention further provides methods of making the hybrid biomedical device.
