  • Publication number: 20230193211
    Abstract: A method for producing a three-dimensional cell structure includes preparing a mixture of a cationic substance, an extracellular matrix component, a polyelectrolyte, and a cell population including endothelial cells and mouse-derived stromal cells, which exclude mouse-derived endothelial cells, collecting a cell aggregate from the mixture, and culturing a collected cell aggregate to obtain a three-dimensional cell structure.

  • Publication number: 20200406219
    Abstract: A method of separating a vesicle from a sample may include forming a fusant by fusing a first lipid membrane structure and the vesicle, where the vesicle may include a lipid bilayer membrane, and where the first lipid membrane structure may include a vesicular membrane-fusogenic lipid, and fusing the fusant and a second lipid membrane structure positioned at a predetermined field on a substrate.

  • Patent number: 10807061
    Abstract: In methods of separating, moving, and detecting a vesicle of the present invention, either a vesicular-shaped lipid membrane structure containing a membrane-fusogenic lipid capable of being fused with a vesicle having a lipid bilayer membrane, or a lipid-membrane-structure-immobilization carrier, in which a lipid membrane structure containing a membrane-fusogenic lipid capable of being fused with a vesicle having a lipid bilayer membrane is immobilized on a carrier, is brought into contact with a sample containing the vesicle such that membrane fusion occurs between the lipid membrane structure and the vesicle.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20200191773
    Abstract: A method for testing an anticancer effect including culturing a cell structure including cancer cells and stromal cells in a presence of an anticancer drug and immune cells, and measuring the number of living cancer cells in the cell structure after the culturing, as an indicator of an anticancer effect of the anticancer drug or the immune cells.
