ACell, Incorporated is a Columbia, Maryland-based biotechnology company. They work in regenerative medicine, in which they own several valuable extracellular matrix patents.〔 〕 They develop, manufacture and market products for medical and veterinary applications.〔 〕 The company is founded by Alan R. Spievack, a former associate professor at Harvard Medical School and currently run by Jim Defrancesco.〔 〕 Their use of porcine cellular structure, called MatriStem, as a scaffold for human tissue regeneration was named the "medical breakthrough of the year" by ''Esquire''.〔 〕 The use of pig bladder ground up into "magical pixie dust" to regrow Spievak's brother's finger received considerable mainstream coverage. Ken Muneoka of Tulane University, who works with ACell's scientific advisors on US-government funded investigations into regenerative medicine, said that the news should be viewed with caution because it was not a controlled study.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ACell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
