DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The development of bio-artificial organs (sequestered cell cultures, implanted within an isolating membrane) is complicated by many dynamic and interrelated variables. 1 major variable is the relationship between the cell cultures contained in the membrane and the membrane, which will have a direct impact on the ability of the sequestered chamber to provide the desired therapeutic effects. This Phase 1 SBIR grant application will result in the development of methods to be used for mechanically segregating pancreatic islets clusters or B cells within a membrane chamber. The first specific aim of this grant is to test the feasibility of mechanically separating islets harvested from neonatal rats within an isolating membrane during in-vitro cell culture experiments. The second aim of this grant is to determine the adhesion properties between B cells in culture with a laminin coated polyurethane membrane. The third aim of this grant is to compare the insulin production from islet clusters that have been segregated by mechanical means (specific aim 1) to insulin production from beta cells that have been individually stabilized by adhesion to the laminin coated membrane (specific aim 2). The results from this Phase I project will directly impact the specific design criteria of a clinically useful cell chamber device. The information gained by studying the interactions between islets,B-cells, the polyurethane membrane and surface modification using laminin will provide essential insight into the structure, dimensions and capacity of a larger medical device used for the treatment of type-1 diabetes. It is our intention to pursue the specific device development in concert with a Phase II grant application in conjunction with other corporate collaborations.

描述（由申请人提供）：生物人工器官（隔离的细胞培养物，植入隔离膜内）的开发由于许多动态和相互关联的变量而变得复杂。第一个主要变量是膜中包含的细胞培养物与膜之间的关系，这将对隔离室提供所需治疗效果的能力产生直接影响。该第一阶段 SBIR 拨款申请将导致开发用于在膜室内机械分离胰岛簇或 B 细胞的方法。该资助的第一个具体目的是测试在体外细胞培养实验期间在隔离膜内机械分离从新生大鼠收获的胰岛的可行性。该资助的第二个目的是确定用层粘连蛋白包被的聚氨酯膜培养的 B 细胞之间的粘附特性。这笔赠款的第三个目的是比较通过机械手段分离的胰岛簇产生的胰岛素（具体目标 1）与通过粘附层粘连蛋白包被膜而单独稳定的 β 细胞产生的胰岛素（具体目标 2） 。该第一阶段项目的结果将直接影响临床上有用的细胞室装置的具体设计标准。通过研究胰岛、B 细胞、聚氨酯膜和层粘连蛋白表面修饰之间的相互作用所获得的信息将为了解用于治疗 1 型糖尿病的大型医疗设备的结构、尺寸和容量提供重要的见解。我们打算与其他企业合作一起进行第二阶段拨款申请，以进行特定设备的开发。
