42 results about "Desmosome" patented technology

A desmosome (/ˈdɛzməˌsoʊm/; "binding body"), also known as a macula adherens (plural: maculae adherentes) (Latin for adhering spot), is a cell structure specialized for cell-to-cell adhesion. A type of junctional complex, they are localized spot-like adhesions randomly arranged on the lateral sides of plasma membranes. Desmosomes are one of the stronger cell-to-cell adhesion types and are found in tissue that experience intense mechanical stress, such as cardiac muscle tissue, bladder tissue, gastrointestinal mucosa, and epithelia.

The invention relates to the technical fields of tissue engineering and medical wound repair. At present, a living skin substitute constructed by using the materials of polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, collagen, hyaluronic acid, and the like as a dermic bracket has the defects that on one hand, host materials are difficult to extract, the living skin substitute has complicated manufacturing technology and is expensive in cost and difficult to widely popularize and apply clinically; and on the other hand, the living skin substitute does not have a skin basilar membrane structure so that healed skin does not resist pressure and wear, and the living skin has unfirm adhesion to the epidermis and is easy to shed and break or form water blisters so that the structural and morphological development of the normal epidermis is influenced; and allogeneic acellular dermis is taken from cadaver skin and is limited in sources and expensive in cost, and thus clinical application is limited. The invention aims at providing a skin substitute which uses surface-finished and modified amnion as the basilar membrane and blood plasma as stroma, which has the advantages of wide material sources, low cost and simple preparation method. An animal experiment proves that the complete basilar membrane and hemidesmosomes can be retained in in-vivo transplantation, and the formation of an epidermal structural form is accelerated and promoted.
