Abstract
The invention relates to the use of an active collagen matrix for culturing mammalian cells and the use of the active collagen matrix and cells for the treatment of disease.
Claims5
A medical implant comprising:
- an active collagen matrix obtained from a human tissue, wherein the active collagen matrix contains growth factors native to the collagen in human collagen tissue and one or more additional recombinant growth factors native in human collagen, the active collagen matrix comprising an amount of total one or more additional recombinant growth factors that is about 30% to about 50% greater than growth factors native to human collagen, a surface of the active collagen matrix being treated with an activated collagen, wherein the activated collagen is in liquid form and the activated collagen is applied to the active collagen matrix and dried thereon;
- and
- an expanded human mesenchymal stem cell population obtained from human tissue, wherein the human mesenchymal stem cell population is propagated in vitro by inducing to differentiation into a desired lineage able to differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, myocytes, fibroblasts, cardiomyocytes or neurons, wherein the expanded mesenchymal stem cell population, being propagated in vitro, is in contact with the active collagen matrix, and the one or more additional recombinant growth factors comprise rhBMP12, BMP7, or a combination thereof.
A medical implant comprising:
- an active collagen matrix obtained from a human tissue, wherein the active collagen matrix comprises growth factors native to the human collagen in the human collagen tissue comprising one or more additional recombinant growth factors and collagen particles having a size from about 25 microns to about 75 microns, the active collagen matrix comprising an amount of total one or more additional recombinant growth factors that is about 30% to about 50% greater than growth factors native to collagen;
- a surface of the active collagen matrix being treated with an activated collagen, wherein the activated collagen is in liquid form and the activated collagen is applied to the active collagen matrix and dried thereon;
- and
- an expanded human mesenchymal stem cell population obtained from autologous human tissue as the active collagen matrix, wherein the human mesenchymal stem cell population propagated in vitro by inducing to differentiation into a desired linage able to differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, myocytes, fibroblasts, cardiomyocytes or neurons, wherein the expanded mesenchymal stem cell population, being propagated in vitro, is in contact with the active collagen matrix, and the one or more additional recombinant growth factors comprise rhBMP12, BMP7, or a combination thereof.
