Title:
METHOD FOR ENHANCING FORMATION OF SPHEROID AND CULTURE MEDIUM FOR ENHANCING FORMATION OF SPHEROID
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/077894
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a cell cultivation method which is capable of forming a spheroid by simple processes in a short term. Also disclosed is a culture medium for enhancing the formation of a spheroid, which can be used for the cell cultivation method. By culturing cells on a culture substrate, which has a recessed and projected structure that functions as a cell adhesion surface, using a cell culture medium that contains a predetermined extracellular matrix component, the proliferation and growth of monolayer cells as well as separation and collapse of a spheroid are prevented, thereby extremely effectively enhancing the formation of the spheroid.
