Three techniques for cell transplantation -what are the benefits? Precautions are also shown.
Biodegradable scaffolds for transplantation studies aimed at clinical application
|
|
March marks the Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Regenerative Medicine. Over 3,000 researchers and related professionals will gather once again this year to engage in dynamic discussions aimed at advancing the social implementation of regenerative medicine outcomes. In regenerative medicine (including tissue engineering), it is crucial not only to address the three core components—cells, scaffolds, and growth factors—but also to consider techniques for transplanting cells or tissue-engineered constructs.
In this issue, we highlight the advantages and considerations of three cell transplantation methods and the use of atelocollagen scaffolds tailored to each technique.

|
Atelocollagen solution products
|
|
Powdered atelocollagen dissolves in acidic solvents. It is suitable for injectable cell transplantation and the preparation of high-concentration solutions designed for sustained bioactive substance release.

|
|
Highly Concentrated Atelocollagen Solution
|
|
Beyond preparing concentrated solutions from the powdered form, several other applications are available. For further information, please click the button below to contact us.

Atelocollagen sponge products
|
|
Atelocollagen Sponge, MIGHTY
|
|
A general-purpose sponge featuring continuous pores (pore size: 100–200 μm) can withstand compressive loads of up to 40 kPa. Ideal for inducing cell differentiation within the sponge and conducting cell transplantation.
|
|
|
|
|
A single honeycomb-structured sponge (pore size: 100–300 μm) can support the cultivation of up to 106 cells. Effective for promoting differentiation within the sponge structure and enabling cell transplantation.

Cell sheet transplantation
|
|
|
Atelocollagen permeable membrane products
|
|
Atelocollagen, Permeable Membrane
|
|
A highly transparent, material-permeable membrane allows the passage of small to medium molecules while preventing cell penetration. Designed for use as a carrier in both cell sheet preparation and transplantation.
|
|
|
|
|
FibColl®Atelocollagen Inserts 24
|
|
Another type of material-permeable membrane allows macromolecules larger than 600 kDa to pass through but restricts cell movement. It serves as both a carrier and a substrate in the preparation and transplantation of cell sheets.
