CELL HANDLING DEVICE, HUMAN TISSUE REGENERATION COMPOSITION, AND HUMAN TISSUE REGENERATION METHOD

The main objects of the present invention, which relates to regenerative medical treatments, are to enable (i) storage and conveyance of harvested or cultured cells without contamination occuring (ii) simple injection of the cells into a living body. To achieve these objects, cells harvested from a living body, or cells obtained by culturing harvested cells, are stored in a syringe-type storage vessel and subsequently transplanted into a living body. It is preferable that at least a part of the storage vessel inner wall in contact with the cells is formed from a cell non-adhesive material. Besides enabling cells in the vessel to take in the oxygen they require to survive, the present invention also enables cells quick and easy transplantation of cells into a living body without a cell detachment process, because cells are prevented from adhering to the inside of the vessel. Further, it is preferable that a stored tissue regeneration composition contains cell culture microcarriers floating in a fluidity medium, and that the cell culture microcarriers are composed of a bioabsorbable material and have cells adhering to their surfaces. Using this kind of tissue regeneration composition, a regenerative treatment can be carried out satisfactorily by simply and quickly transplanting cells from the syringe-type cell storage vessel into a living body without intricate scaffold-related procedures being required.
