  • Patent number: 8158423
    Abstract: A method of making a hair, including a step of culturing an undifferentiated cell of a mammal to produce an embryoid body and a step of further culturing the embryoid body is provided, wherein the culturing step is to culture the embryoid body on a three-dimensional matrix for 5 to 12 days. Furthermore, a biological material obtainable by the method of making a hair as described above is provided. Moreover, a biological material for a screening system of evaluating a medical product or the like, obtainable by utilizing the method of making a hair as described above is provided.

  • Publication number: 20100093080
    Abstract: Disclosed is a novel method for formation of a tooth by producing a chimera embryoid body using an undifferentiated cell and a dental mesenchymal cell derived from a mammal of the same species as that of the target mammal and then cultivating the chimera embryoid body on a three-dimensional matrix. A tooth is formed by co-cultivating an undifferentiated cell and a dental mesenchymal cell derived from a mammal of the same species as that of the target mammal in the presence of an induction factor to produce a chimera embryoid body, and then cultivating the chimera embryoid body on a three-dimensional matrix.

  • Publication number: 20100015199
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for suppressing generation of a teratoma of an undifferentiated cell, preferably an ES cell. A biological material obtainable by the method and a therapeutic method for transplanting the biological material into a subject are also provided. An undifferentiated cell, in particular, preferably an ES cell is cultured to produce an increased embryoid body-like and the embryoid body-like is cultured for at least one week on, and adhered to, a three-dimensional solid type-I collagen carrier or an analogue thereof. Furthermore, a biological material is obtained thereby and the biological material is transplanted into a mammalian subject.
