Researchers are getting closer to the goal of successfully creating a functional bioartificial kidney, which is presented at the ASN Kidney Week (November 15-20, 2016) at McCormick Place in Chicago.
Once the bioartificial kidney is successfully developed, it can meet the needs of dialysis or transplantation for millions of patients with kidney failure. A key requirement of such a device is the formation of a "biofilm" consisting of a layer of tight kidney cells on the surface of the artificial membrane and transporting molecules from one side of the cell to the other. In a recent work, Dr. Dimitrios Stamatialis (Twente University, The Netherlands), Dr. Roos Masereeuw (University of Utrecht, the Netherlands), and their research team used conditionally immortalized human proximal renal tubules on polyethersulfone hollow fiber membranes. Epithelial cells (ciPTECs). And they have shown that monolayers do have the function of a live membrane.
Professor Stamatialis said: "This study demonstrates that the successful development of a biofilm of ciPTEC monolayers on reproducible hollow fiber membranes is an important step in the development of bioartificial kidney devices. The strategies and methods of this study may be related to other organisms. Artificial organs, such as bioartificial liver or bioartificial pancreas and organs on the chip, such as the kidney on the chip, the lungs on the chip or the development of the liver on the chip."
The common serum tube red cap collection tube contains no additives, no anticoagulant and procoagulant components, only vacuum. Used for routine serum biochemistry, blood bank and serological related tests, a variety of biochemical and immunological tests, such as syphilis, hepatitis B quantification, etc., do not need to shake after drawing blood. The sample preparation type was serum. After blood was drawn, it was placed in a water bath at 37℃ for more than 30min, centrifuged, and the upper layer of serum was used for reserve.
We are manufacturers and suppliers wholesale no additive tube. Sizes range from 2ml to 10ml. In addition, we offer customizable services. Siny Medical can meet your needs. If you are in need of no additive tube manufacturers and suppliers, please contact us.
