1. A method for culturing cells by stacking cells in layers, comprising:
(a) providing a first hydrophobic cell culture container, a second hydrophobic cell culture container and a third hydrophobic cell culture container, wherein the first hydrophobic cell culture container, the second hydrophobic cell culture container and the third hydrophobic cell culture container comprise a bottom made of a hydrophobic material or a bottom made of a non-hydrophobic material coated with a hydrophobic material, respectively; (b) adding first carriers which are more hydrophilic than the first hydrophobic cell culture container and a first type of cells into the first hydrophobic cell culture container, adding second carriers which are more hydrophilic than the second hydrophobic cell culture container and a second type of cells into the second hydrophobic cell culture container, adding third carriers which are more hydrophilic than the third hydrophobic cell culture container and a third type of cells into the third hydrophobic cell culture container; (c) culturing the first type of cells, the second type of cells and the third type of cells, respectively, wherein the first type of cells attach to the first carriers and grow, the second type of cells attach to the second carriers and grow, and the third type of cells attach to the third carriers and grow; (d) providing another hydrophobic cell culture container, wherein the other hydrophobic cell culture container comprises a bottom made of the hydrophobic material or a bottom made of the non-hydrophobic material coated with the hydrophobic material; (e) adding the first type of cells attached on the first carriers into the other hydrophobic cell culture container to form a first layer of cells on the bottom of the other hydrophobic cell culture container, then adding the second type of cells attached on the second carriers into the other hydrophobic cell culture container to form a second layer of cells on the first layer of cells, and then adding the third type of cells attached on the third carriers into the other hydrophobic cell culture container to form a third layer of cells on the second layer of cells; and (f) culturing the first layer of cells, the second layer of cells and the third layer of cells to make the first type of cells, the second type of cells and the third type of cells connect to each other to form cells stacked layer by layer. |
