ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device for producing a three-dimensional circular muscle body from a carrier substance and from cell cultures incorporated therein comprising a cell culture dish (1) and at least one element (2) placed inside said cell culture dish (1). The invention also relates to a multi-well plate constructed of a number of devices, which are arranged side by side and/or one behind the other, for producing a three-dimensional circular muscle body. The invention additionally relates to a solution for cultivating mammal cardiomyocytes, to a method for cultivating a cell culture, to a device for measuring isometric force parameters of cell cultures, and to a method for following, in a measurable manner, contractions of a cell tissue incorporated in a carrier substance. Finally, the invention relates to an artificially produced three-dimensional muscle tissue, in particular, a heart muscle tissue.
