Abstract
A cell culture system for directing growth of cells is provided. The cell culture system includes a substrate, a culture layer and a culture medium. The culture layer is located on the substrate. The culture layer includes at least one carbon nanotube film including a plurality of carbon nanotubes orientated primarily along a same direction. The culture medium covers the culture layer and includes at least one growth factor.
Claims20
A cell culture system for directing growth of cells, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a culture layer located on the substrate, the culture layer comprising at least one carbon nanotube film, the carbon nanotube film comprising a plurality of carbon nanotubes orientated primarily along a same direction;
- and
- a culture medium comprising at least one growth factor.
A cell culture substrate for directing growth of cells, comprising:
- a base;
- and
- a culture layer located on the base and comprising at least one carbon nanotube film, the carbon nanotube film comprising a plurality of carbon nanotubes orientated primarily along a same direction.
A culture method for directing the growth of cells, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a substrate;
- one or more carbon nanotube films drawn from a carbon nanotube array, the carbon nanotube film comprising a plurality of carbon nanotubes orientated primarily along a same direction;
- and a culture medium comprising at least one growth factor;
- placing the carbon nanotube film on the substrate;
- covering at least one portion of the carbon nanotube film with the culture medium;
- seeding the culture medium with one or more seed cells;
- and
- growing new cells along the carbon nanotubes.
