  • Method of cell injection into biotissue and apparatus therefor
    Patent number: 8323881
    Abstract: A method of injecting cells into a biological tissue comprising thrusting injection needle (200) under microvibration into tissue (5) secured by suction to tissue suction means (210) and effecting injection of a cell suspension into the tissue through the needle. There is also provided an apparatus for cell injection into the biological tissue.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 2, 2004
    Date of Patent: December 4, 2012
    Assignees: Japan as represented by President of National Cardiovascular Center, Nipro Corporation
    Inventors: Toshiya Fujisato, Akio Kishida, Soichiro Kitamura
  • Device and method for uniformly inoculating a substrate having three-dimensional surfaces
    Patent number: 7910360
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for inoculating a biological substrate with cells include provision for rotating a container in which the substrate and a cell suspension are received about first and second axes of rotation. The apparatus comprises said container, first drive means for rotatably supporting the container about the first axis, and second drive means for rotatably supporting the first drive means about the second axis. The first and second axes of rotation do not lie in the same plane and extend in different directions so that the container revolves around the second axis while the container is rotating about the first axis. The inoculation method utilizes this apparatus.

  • Method of treating biological tissue by microwave-irradiation
    Patent number: 7883864
    Abstract: A method of efficiently removing or fixing donor cells from a native tissue of mammalian origin comprises immersing the tissue in a treating solution, and irradiating the tissue with microwave while maintaining the temperature thereof in the range between 0° C. and 40° C.

  • Method of treating biological tissue for transplantation by applying ultrahigh hydrostatic pressure
    Publication number: 20060110720
    Abstract: Native tissue of mammalian origin are treated for transplantation by applying ultrahigh hydrostatic pressure to the tissue in a liquid medium. The connective tissue is rendered isolatable from the remainder of the tissue including cellular components while keeping intact the structure and biomechanical properties thereof.
