摘要：
The present invention provides a technique which enables organization of bone marrow cells by a simple method in a short period of time.A method for preparing a bone marrow cell aggregate, comprising adding a liquid containing a bone marrow cell population to a medium containing a swellable material and culturing the bone marrow cell population in the presence of the swellable material. A method for reassembling a bone marrow tissue, comprising adding a liquid containing a bone marrow cell population to a medium containing a swellable material and culturing the bone marrow cell population in the presence of the swellable material.According to common knowledge in the art, it has been considered difficult to reorganize once disintegrated bone marrow tissue without changing the cell composition (that is, without adding any adherent cell or extracellular matrix which will work as a “connecting material (binder)”). Indeed, it was impossible to aggregate bone marrow cells by conventional methods. As a result of its achievement, the present invention changes such conventional thought and results and provides a major breakthrough technique pertaining to 3D culture of bone marrow cells. It has also been confirmed that culture of a bone marrow-like tissue reassembled by the method of the present could be continued up to day 14 in the MC medium.
