  • Publication number: 20030109034
    Abstract: The method for tissue culture in vitro of the present invention is to partially digest the tissue blocks via enzyme, and then seed the partially digested tissue blocks into the hollow cavity of the porous chamber, wherein tissue grow three-dimensionally inside-out toward the surrounding pores of the porous chamber, thus new tissue is proliferated directly with the original tissue form, a method that cultures tissue needed in vitro by using the smallest quantity of tissue within the shortest period of time.

  • Patent number: 6436426
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for producing porous polymer materials. In the present invention, a polymer material and a soluble material are mixed in their solid states. The surface of the polymer material is partially dissolved and fused by introducing a solvent. The present invention makes use of a pressure difference while introducing a non-solvent into the polymer material to solidify and resolve the solved polymer material. Then, a substantial amount of water is used to wash the inside soluble material out. Therefore, the porous polymer materials with high porosity and interconnecting pores inside the materials are produced massively and rapidly.
