  • Cell culture system and serum-free method for cultivating cells
    Patent number: 8956871
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a cell culture system and a serum-free method for cultivating cells. The cell culture system includes a substratum, wherein the substratum has a surface. A polymer is disposed on the surface of the substratum, wherein the polymer is prepared by polymerizing a first monomer with a second monomer. The first monomer has a structure as represented by Formula (I), and the second monomer has a structure as represented by Formula (II): wherein, R1 is hydrogen or methyl; R2 is methyl, ethyl, or —CH2CH2OCH3; R3 is hydrogen or methyl; and, R4 is hydrogen, —CH2CH2OCOCHCHCOOH, —CH2CH2OCOCH2CH2COOH, or —CH2CH2COOH.

  • COPOLYMERS SUITABLE FOR USE IN CORNEAL BANDAGES
    Publication number: 20100303890
    Abstract: Disclosed is a polymer having an affinity for corneal cells such that it can be used as a substrate for the growth of corneal cells, and so is suitable for use in a corneal bandage, especially in the form of a contact lens in which at least the cornea contacting surface is composed of the polymer. The substrate with an affinity for corneal cells is a copolymer comprising units -(A)- and -(B)- in which the units A are derived from aminoalkyl (alkyl)acrylates and the units B are derived from aryloxy, alkoxy or hydroxyalkyl (alkyl)acrylates, and (alkyl)acrylic acids.
