Disclosed is a three-dimensional tissue comprising cells and collagen including endogenous collagen, wherein at least a portion of the cells is adhered to the collagen, and the content of the collagen is from 10 wt % to 90 wt % based on the three-dimensional tissue.
Abstract:
A method of promoting spheroid formation, including: a preparation step of preparing a mixture obtained by mixing a cell sample with a promoter; and a culture step of culturing, inside a spheroid formation-culture vessel, the mixture obtained in the preparation step, in which the promoter is a polymer in which one or more selected from the group consisting of D-glucosamine, D-galactosamine, D-glucuronic acid, L-iduronic acid, and D-galactose are polymerized.
Abstract:
Provided are an elastic three-dimensional tissue and a method by which the tissue can be produced. The elastic three-dimensional tissue includes smooth muscle cells and an extracellular matrix component, with the smooth muscle cells being layered with the extracellular matrix component interposed therebetween. Furthermore, the production method for a three-dimensional tissue includes layering smooth muscle cells with an extracellular matrix component interposed therebetween, wherein the smooth muscle cells are those directed towards a differentiated type from an undifferentiated type.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for producing a three-dimensional tissue having a vascular system structure, said method comprising: (a) a step for forming a vascular system structure template using a gel; (b) a step for forming a three-dimensional tissue in the vicinity of the template; (c) a step for dissolving the template using a cationic solution; and (d) a step for seeding vascular endothelial cells and/or lymphatic vessel endothelial cells in a void remaining after the dissolution of the template. Also provided is a method for producing a three-dimensional tissue having a vascular system structure, said method comprising: (i) a step for forming a vascular system structure template using a gel; (ii) a step for seeding vascular endothelial cells and/or lymphatic vessel endothelial cells on the template; (iii) a step for forming a three-dimensional tissue in the vicinity of the cells seeded above; and (iv) a step for dissolving the template using a cationic solution. Also provided is a three-dimensional tissue comprising a gel which has a vascular system structure.
Abstract:
An artificial tissue containing pancreatic islet cells, fibroblasts and/or cells capable of differentiating, extracellular matrix, and vascular endothelial cells, in which the fibroblasts and/or the cells capable of differentiating, the extracellular matrix, and the vascular endothelial cells constitute a three-dimensional tissue structure in which a vascular network structure has been formed, and in which the three-dimensional tissue structure contains pancreatic islets constituted by aggregating ten or more of the pancreatic islet cells.
Abstract:
Provided is a novel method capable of manufacturing an artificial skin model including dendritic cells. A method for manufacturing an artificial skin model includes the following: forming a dermal tissue layer by culturing coated cells in which a cell surface is coated with a coating film containing an extracellular matrix component, so that the coated cells are layered; forming a basal layer including type IV collagen on the dermal tissue layer by bringing type IV collagen into contact with the dermal tissue layer; and forming an epidermal layer by arranging epidermal cells on the basal layer. At least one of the dermal tissue layer and the epidermal layer includes dendritic cells.
Abstract:
Provided is a novel method for producing a three-dimensional cell culture construct. A method for producing a three-dimensional cell culture construct including at least two or more laminated cell layers includes the following: seeding coated cells in which a cell surface is coated with a coating film containing an extracellular matrix component; culturing the seeded coated cells in a culture medium; and using at least a portion of the culture medium continuously for 5 days or more. A method for producing a three-dimensional cell culture construct including at least two or more laminated cell layers includes the following: seeding coated cells in which a cell surface is coated with a coating film containing an extracellular matrix component; and culturing the seeded coated cells in a culture medium. The culture process of the coated cells includes culturing the coated cells in 70 μL or more of the culture medium per 1×104 cells.
