This invention relates three dimensional porous cell culture matrices or scaffolds. More particularly, this invention relates to three dimensional porous cell culture matrices or scaffolds for cell culture which are derived from or contain gums including naturally occurring gums, plant gums, galactomannan gums or derivatives thereof. The invention also relates to articles of manufacture (e.g., cell culture vessels and labware) having such matrices or scaffolds, methods of applying these materials to cell culture surfaces, and methods of using cell culture vessels having these three dimensional porous cell culture matrices or scaffolds. L'invention concerne des matrices de culture cellulaire poreuses tridimensionnelles ou échafaudages. Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne des matrices de culture cellulaire poreuses tridimensionnelles ou échafaudages pour une culture cellulaire qui sont dérivé(e)s de gommes, ou qui contiennent celles-ci, comprenant des gommes apparaissant naturellement, des gommes végétales, des gommes de galactomannane, ou des dérivés de celles-ci. L'invention concerne également des articles de fabrication (par exemple des récipients de culture cellulaire et des matériels de laboratoire) ayant de telles matrices ou de tels échafaudages, des procédés d'application de ces matériaux à des surfaces de culture cellulaire, et des procédés d'utilisation de récipients de culture cellulaire ayant des matrices de culture cellulaire poreuses tridimensionnelles ou échafaudages.
