英国Reinnervate
英国科研人员开发出一种独特的实验室细胞和组织培养技术，其培养条件与人体内环境很相似，相关论文发表在近日出版的《解剖学杂志》上。该技术利用一种塑料支架，使细胞在一种更接近体内细胞生长环境的三维环境中生长。而此前，细胞培养均在培养皿上进行。科研人员还发现，利用这个系统，能够更有效地进行药物研发，并减少一些不必要的动物实验。

这项技术的专利权由英国杜伦大学的研究人员及其附属的ReInnervate有限公司持有。该研究小组获得的大量证据显示，这是一种成本低、操作简单的三维细胞培养方式。

reinnervate is developing new and innovative ways to manage the growth and function of cultured cells. Its technologies will improve the performance, reproducibility and relevance of in vitro cell-based assays.
reinnervate is a spin-out biotechnology company emanating from research conducted at Durham University. The company was established in June 2002 to commercialise technology developed by its founding scientist Professor Stefan Przyborski working in the field of cell biology but with a particular interest in stem cell biology and developmental neuroscience.

reinnervate specialises in the development of enabling technologies that will facilitate research into cell growth, differentiation and function in vitro. These technologies have immediate applications in basic research and product development in the academic, healthcare, biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors.

The Company’s headquarters are located at NETPark Sedgefield England and include state-of-the-art research, development and production facilities.
