    摘要: Disclosed is a tissue body formation device for forming a connective tissue body in an environment in which a living tissue material is present. The device includes a partition wall that defines a hollow space for forming the connective tissue body from the living tissue material. An exterior portion of the partition wall that separates the environment from the hollow space includes through-holes that extend between the environment and the hollow space. The through-holes have an opening size of 0.02 mm or greater and 2.5 mm or less. A section of the connective tissue body that includes dense connective tissue is a dense section. A surface of the partition wall that is in contact with the dense section includes non-degradable resin. The non-degradable resin has a compressive strength of 10 MPa or greater and 60 MPa or less and a contact angle with water of 90° or greater.

    摘要: The invention provides method of fabricating a scaffold comprising a fluidic network, including the steps of: (a) generating an initial vascular layer for enclosing the chamber and providing fluid to the cells, the initial vascular layer having a network of channels for fluid; (b) translating the initial vascular layer into a model for fluid dynamics analysis; (c) analyzing the initial vascular layer based on desired parameters selected from the group consisting of a characteristic of a specific fluid, an input pressure, an output pressure, an overall flow rate and combinations thereof to determine sheer stress and velocity within the network of channels; (d) measuring the sheer stress and the velocity and comparing the obtained values to predetermined values; (e) determining if either of the shear stress or the velocity are greater than or less than the predetermined values, and (f) optionally modifying the initial vascular layer and repeating steps (b)-(e). The invention also provides compositions comprising a vascular layer for use in tissue lamina as well as a medical devices having a vascular layer and kits.

    摘要: A cultivation apparatus and a cultivation method of a culture such as a cell or tissue. Provided are an incubator unit for accommodating a culture and a lever that penetrates through the incubator unit and can move in circular arc around a fulcrum as a center, the fulcrum being set at a wall of the incubator unit or in the vicinity thereof, then displacement is imparted to the culture by operating the lever. Bending force can be acted on the culture (cell construct) such as a cell or tissue, so that without any increase or decrease of a culture fluid in the incubator unit, namely, without any increase or decrease of pressure to the culture fluid, displacement required for cultivation can be imparted to the culture in the incubator unit. By curving, continuous compression and extension are generated in a direction of thickness from a concave portion to a convex portion of the curving.
