PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a unit which can control the orientation of living body tissue and further control the orientation beneficial for the regeneration, analysis, etc., of the living body tissue.SOLUTION: This orientation control unit controls the orientation of the living body tissue by supplying a magnetic field to an affected area. The orientation control unit comprises a magnetic-field supplying means 1 for supplying the magnetic field to the affected area, and a control means for controlling the magnetic field. The living body tissue is selected from a group which is composed of a bone, cartilage, a smooth muscle, a cardiac muscle, a skeletal muscle, skin, fat, a ligament, a tendon, a blood vessel, and a cell.COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT【課題】生体内組織の配向性を制御し、ひいては生体内組織の再生、分析等に有益な配向性の制御を行うことが可能な装置を提供する。【解決手段】配向性の制御装置は、患部へ磁場を供給し、生体内組織の配向性を制御する装置であって、患部へ磁場を供給する磁場供給手段1と、前記磁場を制御する制御手段と、を備え、生体内組織が、骨、軟骨、平滑筋、心筋、骨格筋、皮膚、脂肪、靭帯、腱、血管、細胞からなる群から選択される。【選択図】図3
