CellTissue Introduces Malaysia's FIRST Personalised Skin Cells Banking
ONE SOUTH, Seri Kembangan, Selangor, 19th February 2019 - Cell Tissue Technology Sdn. Bhd., CellTissue, the Malaysian pioneering tissue engineering company announced today that it would launch Malaysia’s first commercial skin cells bio-banking service; CellTissue Bio-Bank. CellTissue Bio-Bank is a service in which the Malaysian general public is able to bank in their skin cells in a top-notch cryopreservation facility for future use. The banked skin cells could then be withdrawn at a time of need; in cases of major skin loss due to traumatic injuries, burns or non-healing wounds such as diabetic ulcers. The stored skin cells, termed Cultured Human Skin Cells could be utilized in the tissue engineering of a human skin; the Tissue Engineered Human Skin, which could then be implanted back to the client in the form of an autologous human skin. |
Apart from being used in the treatment of clients, the Tissue Engineered Human Skin can also be used in the treatment of the client’s family members in the form of a heterologous human skin. The current available treatments of skin loss; the usage of donor skin as well as the Split Skin Grafting technique comes with its own limitations in which there is a confirmed risk of rejection whereby the donor skin is meant as a temporary covering to aid the damaged skin underneath in healing and the Split Skin Grafting procedure can be further complicated when the patient does not have sufficient donor sites for skin extraction.
Furthermore, the rate in which skin as an organ is donated is extremely rare; only 1 in every 200,000 Malaysian individuals chooses to donate their organs upon death further muddling the treatment of patients with major skin loss. CellTissue Bio-Bank and the Tissue Engineered Human Skin directly addresses this problem whereby the client’s stored Cultured Human Skin Cells is available in the engineering of a Tissue Engineered Human Skin at any point of time within a short time period. The Tissue Engineered Human Skin, once implanted, ultimately grows as part of the client’s body, as their own skin. The Tissue Engineered Human Skin eliminates the need for skin donors as well as the excessive grafting of the patient’s skin.
Through the banking of skin cells, the client is able to unlock the potential uses of the Cultured Human Skin Cells as and when further research reveals future treatments to certain diseases and medical conditions, part of those research being done by Cell Tissue Technology Sdn Bhd. Cell Tissue Technology Sdn Bhd, the Malaysian pioneer tissue engineering company specializes in tissue engineering through cultured human cells and has serviced the Malaysian public since 2014 with countless medical products and medical innovations through their advanced proprietary technology: Tissue Engineered Human Skin. Their medical and scientific breakthroughs have undergone countless meticulous scrutiny since 1999 in an effort to expand the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine field in Malaysia.
