A dried vitrigel membrane is produced by a method including the following steps of (1) a step of keeping a hydrogel in the inside of a wall surface mold with a shape the same as the desired shape disposed on a substrate, and discharging a part of free water within the hydrogel from a gap between the substrate and the wall surface mold; (2) a step of removing the wall surface mold from the top of the substrate; (3) a step of drying the hydrogel to remove the residual free water, thereby fabricating a vitrified dried hydrogel; (4) a step of rehydrating the dried hydrogel to fabricate a vitrigel membrane; and (5) a step of redrying the vitrigel membrane to remove free water, thereby fabricating a vitrified dried vitrigel membrane.
摘要:
There is provided a carrier for co-culturing a fertilized ovum of an animal by which behavior of the fertilized ovum of an animal can be easily observed in a culture system and by which adhesion and three-dimensional growth of the fertilized ovum become possible at first, as well as there is provided a method of culturing the fertilized ovum of an animal using the co-culturing carrier. There is provided a carrier for co-culturing a fertilized ovum of an animal composed of a cell incorporated type three-dimensionally reconstructed tissue for co-culturing the fertilized ovum of an animal to induce adhesion and three-dimensional growth, of the fertilized ovum as well as there is provided a method of culturing the fertilized ovum of an animal characterized in that the co-culturing carrier is introduced into a culture vessel to culture the fertilized ovum of an animal.

The thin film of the invention comprises a hydrate of a vitrified gel containing one or more extracellular matrix components, which can be integrated with a retainer as required. A hydrogel thin film containing one or more extracellular matrix components such as thin-film collagen hydrogel thin film, which is useful for a cell culture substratum and for preventing organ adhesion, can be easily prepared, and is excellent in expediency.

The present invention provides a medium-penetrating culture carrier comprising a plurality of natural or synthetic threads or the woven body thereof, a method for adhering cells onto this carrier to allow them to be proliferated, and a device which is physically connected to the carrier for feeding a medium using this medium-penetrating culture carrier, which are able to culture three-dimensionally animal cells in order that they can effect self-assembly as they do in the living tissue or organ from which they are derived.
摘要:
A single cell-culture chamber is provided that includes a dried vitrigel membrane covering and secured to one open end surface of a tubular frame. Also provided is a double cell-culture chamber that includes two tubular frames of substantially the same planar cross-sectional shape adhesively secured to each other with a dried vitrigel membrane interposed between the opposing open end surfaces of the tubular frames so as to form a first chamber and a second chamber via the dried vitrigel membrane.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for reconstruction of animal organ which comprises perfusing a cell-dispersible solution to animal organ from vascular system and then perfusing a cell culture medium whereby the organ is reconstructed.According to the present invention, the organ can be reconstructed and cultured for long term without separating most of cells which constitute the animal organ.
