Title: METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF BIOLOGICAL ORGANIC MATERIAL AND CULTURE VESSEL | PROCEDE DE PRODUCTION D'UN MATERIAU ORGANIQUE BIOLOGIQUE ET FLACON A CULTURE
Usefulness: METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF BIOLOGICAL ORGANIC MATERIAL AND CULTURE VESSEL | PROCEDE DE PRODUCTION D'UN MATERIAU ORGANIQUE BIOLOGIQUE ET FLACON A CULTURE
Summary: For production of biological organic material in liquid droplet comprising culture medium composed of specified ingredient. The biological organic material is stem cell and/or the tissue differentiated from the stem cell. The biological organic material derived from the differentiated stem cell includes chondrocyte and/or cartilaginous tissue (all claimed). The produced biological organic material is useful in regeneration medicine.
Novelty: Production of biological material in droplet having culture medium, involves providing spherical shaped droplet on substrate having water-repellent surface, in unadhered state, culturing biological material present in droplet

Industry: Biomedical

Sub Category: DNA/Gene Engineering

*Abstract: Nagoya University researchers have developed a method for resolving problems inherent to the conventional technology for three-dimensional culturing. This method entails disposing a substantially spherical liquid droplet in a non-fixed state on a substrate having a water-repellent surface and culturing the biological organic material in the liquid droplet.
