Abstract
The present invention provides a medium-penetrating culture carrier comprising a plurality of natural or synthetic threads or the woven body thereof, a method for adhering cells onto this carrier to allow them to be proliferated, and a device which is physically connected to the carrier for feeding a medium using this medium-penetrating culture carrier, which are able to culture three-dimensionally animal cells in order that they can effect self-assembly as they do in the living tissue or organ from which they are derived.
