  • Publication number: 20180216075
    Abstract: Provided is a composite binder material, a cell aggregate, a cell accumulation method, a cell preservation method, and a method of manufacturing a composite binder that can supply oxygen and nutrients to cells. A composite binder material comprises a binder material and a cell non-adhesive portion. A binder material formed in a membrane shape is provided between a first cell sheet and a second cell sheet. The cell non-adhesive portion formed at least in a portion of one membrane surface and/or other membrane surface of the binder material. A plurality of pores are formed in the binder material, and the pores open to the one membrane surface coming into contact with one sheet surface of the first cell sheet. The pores penetrate in a thickness direction and a surface direction along the one membrane surface. The porosity of the binder material is set to be at least 50%.

  • Publication number: 20160082148
    Abstract: Disclosed is a film which is able to suppress agglutination by being continuously adhered to an adhesion target portion in a biological body while suppressing a position shift. A film includes an adhesive and an adhesion inhibiting layer. The adhesive layer absorbs and maintains a liquid in a plurality of pores which are opened in one film surface and has a capillary force for adhering the adhesive layer to a first-cell group. The adhesive layer is formed of a biodegradable polymer. The adhesion inhibiting layer configures the other film surface, and inhibits adhesion between a second-cell group which is different from the first-cell group and the adhesive layer. In the adhesive layer, the pore is formed not to be penetrated in a thickness direction of the film, and thus the first-cell group and the second-cell group are separated into the one film surface side and the other film surface side.

  • Publication number: 20160059537
    Abstract: Film, which has a fine structure and is adhered to various materials in an easy and strong manner without an adhesive agent, and a composite structure, film laminate, producing method and etching method, are provided. Solution in which a hydrophobic high molecular compound and a catechol group-containing compound are dissolved in solvent is cast, to form cast film. Dew is condensed on an uncovered surface of the cast film. The solvent and water droplets upon the condensation are evaporated from the cast film, to produce porous film. The porous film has a honeycomb structure in which plural pores are formed in one film surface. The pores are in a substantially equal shape and size, and are arranged regularly at a constant pitch. The film surface on a side having the pores of the porous film is a functional surface having an adhesive property.
