Abstract
A cell culture chamber and a cell culture method that are capable of effectively constructing an intercellular network in a culture space are provided. A cell culture chamber (10)according to the present invention is a cell culture chamber (10)including a plurality of microchambers (11) formed on a surface thereof, characterized in that convex portions (side walls 12) that partition the microchambers (11) adjacent to each other are formed to prevent cells from being adhered to upper surfaces of the convex portions. Consequently, cells can be cultured exclusively within the microchambers (11), and an intercellular network can be constructed effectively.
