Abstract
A cell culture device is provided, which comprises a cavity and a base layer, wherein the base layer is a type of plastic thin film and has a thickness of 1 μm to 100 μm; a second-moment of inertia lower than 6×106 μm4; and a resultant flexural rigidity of 1×10−6 Pa·m4 to 0.02 Pa·4. Accordingly, the base layer can produce an out-of-plane strain, and bending deformation can occur. Therefore, a growth space close to in vivo environment is provided by the base layer for the cells when the cells attach to the base layer, thereby promoting the growth and maturation of the cells and tissues.
