Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a Divisional and Continuation in Part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09 / 616,282 filed on Jul. 14, 2002, and of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09 / 616,526 filed on Jul. 14, 2002.
[0002] The invention relates to a support with collagen base for tissue engineering and manufacture of biomaterials and to different methods including a method of in vitro testing of the efficacy of a potentially active substance using such a support.DISCUSSION OF THE PRIOR ART
[0003] For many years collagen has proved to be an irreplaceable substrate for the production of artificial tissues containing living cells.
[0004] The biomaterials obtained are increasingly used in the field of pharmaceutics and they appear to have a very promising future for the preparation of injured connective tissues or for gene therapy by allowing the introduction and survival of modified cells in a living organism.
[0005] Furthermore, for “in vitro” tests, the cosmetic and dermopharmaceutical in...
