摘要:
Provided is a method that achieves control of embryoid body size and can induce differentiation in a state where the embryoid body size is controlled, by using a cell culture chamber having a plurality of microchambers formed therein. A culture method for causing differentiation of pluripotent mammalian cells uses a cell culture chamber (10) having a plurality of microchambers (11) formed on a culture surface. The cell culture chamber (10) has a culture surface formed of spaces in which the microchambers (11) have a space structure with a height of 10 μm to 500 μm and a bottom area of 100 μm2 to 1 mm2. The culture method for causing differentiation of pluripotent mammalian cells includes culturing pluripotent mammalian cells to obtain a cell population at least partially differentiated into endoderm lineage cells, by using the cell culture chambers (10).

摘要:
In a culture method for adipocytes, seeded adipocytes are cultured while being allowed to adhere to a culture bottom surface (14) and walls (12) disposed perpendicularly to the culture bottom surface (14), without suspending the adipocytes in a culture solution, thereby obtaining mature adipocytes in which spherical lipid droplets having increased in size are generated within cells. This method uses a culture chamber (10) in which the walls (12) are formed perpendicular to the culture bottom surface (14). Spherical mature adipocytes containing spherical lipid droplets having increased in size within cells are cultured in a state where a cell or an aggregate of cells is allowed to adhere to two or more locations on the walls (12) and the culture bottom surface (14), thereby obtaining adipocytes having a shape similar to that of adipocytes in vivo.
摘要:
To provide a cell storage method to store living cells while maintaining the functions of the living cells. An aspect of the cell storage method is a method to store living cells (40) by using a cell culture chamber (20) including a plurality of the microchambers (11), the method including: culturing the living cells by being adhered to the surfaces of a plurality of micro spaces; and after the culturing, pouring the culture medium (50) into the cell culture chamber (20) so as to cover the plurality of microchambers (11), and storing the living cells. The living cells are adhered to a cell culture chamber of an appropriate size and cultured to form a three-dimensional structure. This enables maintaining the three-dimensional structure of the living cells and storage of the living cells while maintaining the functions thereof.
摘要:
To provide a cell culture kit including cultured living cells of various donors, and a manufacturing method thereof. The cell culture kit includes a culture plate and living cells cultured thereon. The culture plate includes a plurality of microchambers (33) and living cells derived from various donors are adhered to surfaces of the plurality of microchambers (33). Specifically, living cells D1, D2, and D3 derived from various donors are adhered to the plurality of microchambers (33). In each microchamber (33), living cells derived from one donor or living cells derived from various donors may be cultured. The living cells derived from various donors are adhered and cultured in the cell culture kit as a whole, which makes it possible to provide a cell culture kit to conduct a test using cells derived from various donors.
