Abstract:
The present invention relates to an abnormal cardiac rhythm myocardial model composed of a three-dimensional tissue containing cells including the cardiomyocytes and collagen, wherein at least a portion of the cells adheres to the collagen.
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:
A method may comprises bringing cells suspended in an aqueous medium into contact with a plurality of fragmented collagen pieces and, after the cells brought into contact with the plurality of fragmented collagen pieces and the plurality of fragmented collagen pieces are concentrated, culturing the cells brought into contact with the fragmented collagen pieces, with the plurality of fragmented collagen pieces, to form a three-dimensional tissue.
Abstract:
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:
The present invention relates to an extracellular-matrix-containing composition comprising: a fragmented extracellular matrix component, wherein at least a part of the fragmented extracellular matrix component is crosslinked.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an extracellular-matrix-containing composition comprising: a fragmented extracellular matrix component; and an aqueous medium.
Abstract:
A membrane vesicle recovery device includes: a liquid filler; and at least a fused membrane having a lipid bilayer membrane which covers at least a part of the outer periphery of the liquid filler, in which a content of a membrane vesicle is mixed into the liquid filler through fusing of the membrane vesicle and the fused membrane.
Abstract:
A method of assessing an anti-cancer drug including culturing a cell structure including cancer cells and stromal cells in a presence of at least one anti-cancer drug, and assessing an anti-cancer effect of the at least one anti-cancer drug based on a number of viable cancer cells in the cell structure after the culturing.
Abstract:
