Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a cell culture chamber with which the survival rate of cells to be cultured can be increased, and a method of producing the same. A cell culture chamber according to the present invention includes a mass of projections formed of a plurality of microprojections 1 formed on a surface on which cells are cultured. The width or diameter of each of the microprojections 1 is in a range of 20 nm to 3 μm, and the aspect ratio of each of the microprojections is in a range of 0.2 to 3.0. Thus, there can be provided a cell culture chamber most suitable for the adhesion and differentiation/proliferation of cells to be cultured.

Claims (11)

1. A cell culture chamber including a mass of projections formed of a plurality of microprojections on a surface on which cells are cultured,

wherein a width or diameter of each of the microprojections is in a range of 20 nm to 3 μm, and wherein each of the microprojections has a height of 4 nm to 3 μm, and

wherein the surface on which the cells are cultured has a plurality of micro-space structures having a height of 10 μm to 500 μm,

wherein the plurality of micro-space structures surround the plurality of microprojections.

2. The cell culture chamber according to claim 1 , wherein the width or diameter of each of the microprojections is in a range of 20 nm to 400 nm.

3. The cell culture chamber according to claim 1 , wherein a whole or a part of the cell culture chamber is coated with an organic film or an inorganic film.

4. The cell culture chamber according to claim 2 , wherein a whole or a part of the cell culture chamber is coated with an organic film or an inorganic film.

5. The cell culture chamber according to claim 2 , wherein the surface on which the cells are cultured has a plurality of micro-space structures.

6. The cell culture chamber according to claim 3 , wherein the surface on which the cells are cultured has a plurality of micro-space structures.

7. The cell culture chamber according to claim 4 , wherein the surface on which the cells are cultured has a plurality of micro-space structures.

8. The cell culture chamber according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of micro-space structures have a height of 10 μm to 300 μm.
