英國(guó)科研人員開發(fā)出一種獨(dú)特的實(shí)驗(yàn)室細(xì)胞和組織培養(yǎng)技術(shù)，其培養(yǎng)條件與人體內(nèi)環(huán)境很相似，相關(guān)論文發(fā)表在近日出版的《解剖學(xué)雜志》上。該技術(shù)利用一種塑料支架，使細(xì)胞在一種更接近體內(nèi)細(xì)胞生長(zhǎng)環(huán)境的三維環(huán)境中生長(zhǎng)。而此前，細(xì)胞培養(yǎng)均在培養(yǎng)皿上進(jìn)行?？蒲腥藛T還發(fā)現(xiàn)，利用這個(gè)系統(tǒng)，能夠更有效地進(jìn)行藥物研發(fā)，并減少一些不必要的動(dòng)物實(shí)驗(yàn)。
這項(xiàng)技術(shù)的專利權(quán)由英國(guó)杜倫大學(xué)的研究人員及其附屬的ReInnervate有限公司持有。該研究小組獲得的大量證據(jù)顯示，這是一種成本低、操作簡(jiǎn)單的三維細(xì)胞培養(yǎng)方式。

reinnervate is developing new and innovative ways to manage the growth and function of cultured cells. Its technologies will improve the performance, reproducibility and relevance of in vitro cell-based assays.
reinnervate is a spin-out biotechnology company emanating from research conducted at Durham University. The company was established in June 2002 to commercialise technology developed by its founding scientist Professor Stefan Przyborski working in the field of cell biology but with a particular interest in stem cell biology and developmental neuroscience.
reinnervate specialises in the development of enabling technologies that will facilitate research into cell growth, differentiation and function in vitro. These technologies have immediate applications in basic research and product development in the academic, healthcare, biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors.
The Company’s headquarters are located at NETPark Sedgefield England and include state-of-the-art research, development and production facilities.
