An agent for the formation of spheroids of hepatocytes, which comprises a covalently lipid-bound glycosaminoglycan, and a culturing process for the formation of the spheroids.
Hepatocytes spheroids can be formed by culturing hepatocytes in a culture vessel using a lipid-bound glycosaminoglycan as a culture substrate. Floating spheroids of hepatocytes can be obtained efficiently, which are capable of maintaining liver-specific functions and of keeping the spheroid form stably for a prolonged period of time.
一种用于形成肝细胞球形体的制剂,它包括一种共价脂质结合的
氨基糖,以及一种用于形成球形体的培养工艺。
肝细胞球可以通过在培养容器中使用脂质结合糖胺聚糖作为
培养基质培养肝细胞来形成。可以有效地获得漂浮的肝细胞球体,这种球体能够保持肝脏的特异功能,并能长期稳定地保持球体形态。
