Fibroblasts

It is well-known fact that human body consists of millions of cells connected with each other. This connective tissue is unique biological “cement”, which consists of fibroblasts. These are fibroblasts that develop intercellular matrix material – a habitat for specialized cells. The specialized cells include polysaccharides – progenitors of collagen, yellow and reticular fibers. Besides, fibroblasts develop special growth factors stimulating regeneration (restoration) of specialized cells.

Thus potency of fibroblasts determines viability of human organs and systems in large measure. It doesn’t make a problem to extract fibroblasts from a human body since this material is pervasive. In order to culture a big number of required cells it is enough to take a small skin area and make a number of biotechnological procedures. It is also possible to extract fibroblasts from fatty tissue – remnants after cosmetological surgery. Fibroblasts’ growth rate is quite high. But with advancing age cell division slows down.

BIOSTEM specialists successfully apply fibroblasts in order to eliminate skin defects (burns, wounds, ulcers, fistulas, etc.), as well as in cosmetology to improve skin condition. Unique frame properties of fibroblasts are widely used for creation of complex 3-D bioengineered structures, for example, bioartificial urinary bladder, vessels, tracheae, aponeuroses, etc.
