微重力组织工程的产生与发展

The Foundation and Development of Microgravity Tissue Engineering

概述了微重力组织工程的产生与发展趋势。动物细胞培养技术为研究细胞的形态、结构、功能与遗传特性 ,揭示细胞分裂、组织分化、器官组织形成等生命科学领域的基本问题发挥了巨大作用 ;大规模动物细胞培养技术已广泛应用于生物制药、生产疫苗以及生物学诊断试剂。但是 ,常规培养技术无法实现由细胞重建组织这一构想。微重力组织工程利用旋转培养器产生的微重力环境与动物细胞培养技术相结合 ,使组织重建成为可能 ,成为生命科学发展史上的一个新的里程碑。

The Foundation and Development of Microgravity Tissue Engineering was summarized. Animal cell culture techniques played an important role in the studies of the structure and function of cells, and tissue differentiation and formation. Large scale cell culture was widely applied in biological pharmacy and the production of vaccines and diagnostic reagents. The reorganizing of cells to tissues could not be realized by conventional cell culture, while the microgravity tissue engineering made it possible and became a milestone in life science.
