  • Publication number: 20180000988
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a scaffold for tissue engineering that includes a frame structure including one of poly-D-lactic acid and poly-L-lactic acid and a coating layer formed on a surface of the frame structure and including a lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer. The method includes mixing a first granular porous substance including one of poly-D-lactic acid and poly-L-lactic acid with a second granular porous substance including the lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer to prepare a mixture, and pressurizing and heating the mixture in a mold. In the heating, the mixture is heated to a temperature greater than or equal to the melting point of the lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer and less than the melting point of one of poly-D-lactic acid and poly-L-lactic acid.

  • Publication number: 20140341859
    Abstract: Provided is a treatment method which enables regeneration of bone tissue even when the size of a damaged site of bone is large. The treatment method comprises the steps of: culturing chondrocytes which have been seeded onto a porous body, or differentiating stem cells having chondrogenic differentiation potential which have been seeded onto a porous body into chondrocytes and culturing the chondrocytes; and implanting the porous body having the cultured chondrocytes.

  • Publication number: 20130259838
    Abstract: Provided is a cultured cartilage tissue material which enables formation of cartilage tissue being substantially the same as the cartilage tissue actually in the living body, and which is large in volume. The cultured cartilage tissue material is to be used for cartilage regeneration and comprises chondrocytes, and is a mixed body of chondrocytes in a concentration of 1×107 to 1×109 cells/cm3, and a bioabsorbable polymer. A thickness of the thinnest part of the cultured cartilage tissue material is 2.2 to 100 mm. A volume ratio between the chondrocytes and the bioabsorbable polymer is 7:3 to 9.5:0.5. A production amount of glycosaminoglycan is 0.001 to 0.2 ng per unit cell. A content ratio between type I collagen and type II collagen is 10:90 to 1:99. A content of type II collagen is 0.01 to 0.65 mg per 1 mg of dry weight of tissue.
