(54)	METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING ARTIFICIAL CELL TISSUE AND BASE MATERIAL THEREFOR

(57) The present invention relates to a method for culturing cells, which comprises the steps of: causing cells to adhere to the surface of a cell array substrate having a cell adhesiveness variation pattern that comprises regions having good cell adhesiveness and regions having inhibited cell adhesiveness patterned on a substrate; transferring the adhered cells to a cell culture substrate in such patterned state; and culturing the transferred cells.
