  • Three-dimensional silk fibroin scaffold culture retaining functional salivary cells and promoting salivary tissue-specific ECM synthesis
    Patent number: 10377986
    Abstract: A cell culture system including a silk fibroid scaffold, culture media, and salivary gland cells. The salivary gland cells grown in the tissue culture system have physiological and morphological features like those of in vivo salivary gland cells. The cell culture system can be used to produce a salivary tissue-specific extracellular matrix capable of inducing differentiation of salivary gland cell precursors into salivary gland cells.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 9, 2015
    Date of Patent: August 13, 2019
    Assignee: The Board of Regents of the University of Texas System
    Inventors: Xiao-Dong Chen, Chih-ko Yeh, Joo L. Ong
