SUBSTANCE: invention provides a method for producing a heterogenous skin cell population implying the sampling of a skin biopsy material at a depth of 2 mm, tissue homogenisation in 0.9% aqueous sodium chloride at temperature +23 … +25°C, recovery of homogenate, filtration of the homogenate through an inert filter cloth with the pore diameter of 20 mcm, centrifugation of the homogenate at 400 g for 5 minutes at temperature +23 … +25 C.
EFFECT: skin cell separation and viability preservation.
Surprisingly, there are 14 years between these books. That's exactly how long Leo Tolstoy felt one cycle of human maturation constitutes. He had an almost intimate idea of dividing life into periods—conditional periods in which, every fourteen years, a person reaches a new level of understanding.
If, putting aside excessive modesty (briefly and strictly for scientific purposes), we apply this logic to ourselves, a curious picture emerges.
