Optimal transportation protocol for human retinal pigment epithelium cell transportation on biomaterial membrane

TL;DRAbstract

Ophthalmology group of the Institute of Biosciences and Medical Technology (Bio-MediTech) is a research group concentrating on studying retinal pigment epithelium cell (RPE) and their possibilities in cure of degenerative eye diseases. In the near future Ophthalmology group will do animal tests in co-operation with an European partner. For that reason RPE cells will be sent from Tampere to Germany.
\nTissue banks have a wide experience of tissue storage and delivery. Regea is a cell and tissue center, which co-operates intensively with BioMediTech and is one of the Finnish tissue banks. Cells and tissues are sent weekly from Regea inside borders of Finland. Transportations take only a few hours. Many cell types and tissues are trans-ported either frozen or in hypothermal conditions. According to literature hypothermal conditions might not be the best choice for retinal pigment epithelium cells especially if transportation is over night.
