  • Method for manufacturing a tissue-engineered construct
    Patent number: 8609415
    Abstract: Method for manufacturing a tissue-engineered construct, such as a heart valve, comprising the steps of providing a-cell-seeded scaffold in a bioreactor chamber which bioreactor chamber is divided by the cell-seeded scaffold into a first compartment and a second compartment, subjecting the cell-seeded scaffold to a flow of nutrient medium within the bioreactor chamber for developing the cell-seeded scaffold to a tissue structure and next to the tissue construct, applying a dynamic pressure difference to the developing tissue structure by the flow of nutrient medium to induce dynamic strain on the tissue structure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 2, 2009
    Date of Patent: December 17, 2013
    Assignees: Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, Stichting Voor de Technische Wetenschappen
    Inventors: Jeroen Kortsmit, Niels Jozef Bart Driessen, Marcel Cornelis Maria Rutten, Franciscus Petrus Thomas Baaijens
