Tissue Bank We will do our best with the best technology for the value of respect for life by inheriting the noble spirit of the donor.

  • Tissue Bank
    A tissue bank is an institution authorized by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety to collect, store, process, store, and distribute tissues donated from live, brain dead, and deceased individuals. Our tissue bank, approved for establishment in November 2021, processes and distributes a total of 7 types of tissue: nerve, skin, bone, cartilage, fascia, tendon, and ligament.
  • Human Tissue
    'Human tissue is a part of the body, such as bones, cartilage, fascia, skin, ligaments, tendons, and heart valves, collected and transplanted for human health, physical recovery, and disability prevention, in accordance with the [Human Tissue Safety and Management Act].
  • Human Tissue Materials
    Donated human tissues are transformed into valuable transplant materials that are directly put into the patient's body. Human tissue transplant materials processed in tissue banks by removing cells, which are the main cause of turnover rejection during tissue transplantation, can be used to recover physical disabilities, burns, fractures, etc. It is used preciously for patients suffering from various diseases.

PROCESS

Tissue processing using supercritical technology

POINT

Three Important Points for Tissue Transplantation
  • Tissue compatibility
    - Immunological similarities between the two tissues
    - If lacking, rejection reaction at the time of tissue transplantation
    - Decellularization optimization
  • Tissue engraftment
    - Maintaining the ECM content of the donor tissue
    - It is necessary to preserve the physical properties of the extracellular matrix such as ECM and cytokines in the tissue
  • Safety
    - Low cytotoxicity (the degree to which a cell has a specific toxic effect)
    - Need to minimize side effects due to low cytotoxicity
- The three axes of tissue engineering are cells, extracellular matrixes (ECM) and growth factors for signal transmission.
- It is important to prevent the transplant rejection by decellularization with preserving the ECM and growth factors

ADVANTAGE

Advantages of tissue processing using supercritical technology

Growth Factor & ECM Preservation
- ECM preservation such as collagen, elastin, and growth factors
- Engraftment and regeneration without rejection
Sterility and virus inactivation
- Sterilization and virus inactivation proceed at the same time as decellularization
