Abstract: A three-layer structure is comprised of an extra-cellular matrix, a sheet-shaped cell culture, and a biodegradable gel layer (single layer). By virtue of this three-layer structure, breakage of the sheet-shaped cell culture due to high spray pressure is reduced. The fibrin gel may be formed on one surface of the sheet-shaped cell culture by spraying of a thrombin liquid. A production method may involve culturing cells on a temperature-responsive cell culture substrate, dripping fibrinogen onto a sheet-shaped cell culture having an extra-cellular matrix on a lower surface thereof, further spraying a thrombin liquid onto the sheet-shaped cell culture from an oblique direction, whereby the result is a three-layer structure having a fibrin gel layer only on one surface of the sheet-shaped cell culture and having an extra-cellular matrix layer on the opposite surface.

Abstract: A device for stably maintaining the shape of a fragile object in a liquid includes a container for accommodating the fragile object, a lid member for sealing the container, and a protecting member. The device is configured to form a liquid-tight space by covering a liquid surface in the container which accommodates the fragile object and the liquid with the protecting member and further covering the protecting member and an open portion of the container with the lid member.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for modifying a sheet-shaped cell culture containing at least two types of cells. The method includes soaking the sheet-shaped cell culture in a low nutrient isotonic solution; and changing a content ratio of the at least two cell types constituting the sheet-shaped cell culture.

Abstract: [Problem] To evaluate objective cell groups by estimating a mixing ratio of objective cell group without affecting treatment itself and its production process when the objective cell groups include plural kinds of cell groups having different attributes, and to provide an image analysis system and a culture management system capable of accurately perform a quality control and a production control with low cost. [Solution] The cell quality evaluation system 1 detects a feature amount in each cell easily analyzable from images, and estimates a mixing ratio of each of plural kinds of cell groups included in the objective cell groups based on a distribution of the detected feature amount and pre-recorded information of the feature amount. As the feature amount, the embodiment uses a migration speed of each cell, easily distinguishable by analyzing tracking of each cell from plural images in time series.
