METHOD FOR CULTURING ISLET CELLS AND METHOD FOR PREPARING CARRIER FOR ISLET CELL TRANSPLANTATION USING ATELOCOLLAGEN, AND ARTIFICIAL PANCREAS PREPARED USING SAME

摘要

The present invention provides: a method for culturing islet cells and a method for preparing a carrier for islet cell transplantation by preparing cationic atelocollagen through the ionization of high purity atelocollagen and using the same; and an artificial pancreas prepared using the same. According to the present invention, it is possible to increase the survival rate of islet cells when culturing islet cells and/or glucose-dependent insulin secretion using cationic atelocollagen obtained through the ionization of high purity atelocollagen, or a cross-linked atelocollagen carrier, and glucose-dependent insulin secretion can be increased while simultaneously increasing the survival rate of the cultured and transplanted islet cells by providing a carrier for islet cell transplantation with excellent stability comprising cationic atelocollagen and alginates.
