Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a cell culturing method in which physical stress is reduced and oxygen can be supplied. The invention relates to a cell culturing method including; arranging cells in a dispersed state in a culture medium which is a plastic fluid; and introducing air bubbles into said culture medium.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A cell culturing method, comprising: arranging cells in a culture medium which is a plastic fluid so as to be suspended in the medium in a static state; culturing the cells in a suspended state; and introducing air bubbles into said culture medium and suppressing the rising speed of the air bubbles while maintaining the suspended state; wherein the cells are pluripotent stem cells or multipotent stem cells. 2. The cell culturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the culture medium which is a plastic fluid is a culture medium that can maintain the cells in the culture medium without allowing them to sediment in a static state. 3. The cell culturing method according to claim 1 , comprising culturing the cells using a cell culture vessel or a cell culture bag. 4. The cell culturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the air bubbles are introduced intermittently or continuously. 5. The cell culturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the air bubbles are microbubbles or submicrobubbles. 6. The cell culturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the culture medium has a yield value of at least 0.04 Pa.
