Modified Gelatin-Based Cell Assembling Process Using Glycerin

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cell assembly technology adopting the gelatin-based composite materials has found broad application in the field of disease mechanism research, drug development and organ reconstruction etc. But there are still several troublesome problems, such as the necessaries of high forming concentration of gelatin-based materials and the cell damage produced during extrusion. In view of existing situation, a modified gelatin-based cell assembling process using glycerin was brought forward. The results showed that adding 10% (v/v) glycerin to the existing gelatin-based composite materials, the cells inactivation effect under 4 °C or lower temperature environment can be reduced obviously, meanwhile, the glycerin has a compensatory effect of gelatin. It can significantly improve the forming temperature and the cell survival rate, get high cell survival rate even when the scanning speed is on 40 mm/s. In addition, the glycerin is easier to dissolve in culture medium in the tissue analog training process; it is more conducive to the rapid materials degradation, as well as cell proliferation and tissue regeneration. Therefore, modified gelatin-based cell assembly process with glycerin will be more widely used in tissue or organ in vitro assembly process.
