Abstract
This invention provides a method for preparing biological tissue in which the thickness (i.e., the number of cell layers) can be easily regulated, culture can be conducted within a shorter period of time than is possible with conventional techniques, and addition of unfavorable components is not necessary. The method of the invention comprises adding a cell-containing culture solution to a culture vessel having a non-cell-adhesive inner bottom surface, conducting cell culture while centrifugal force toward the inner bottom surface is applied to the cells in the vessel, forming tissue via intercellular adhesion, and detaching and collecting the resulting tissue from the inner bottom surface.
