Abstract
Techniques for providing in vivo environments to in vitro cells by periodically applying mechanical stimuli to in vitro cells are provided for effective studies on cell culture. A first embodiment of the present invention provides a cell culture apparatus including: a first layer including an electroactive polymer material and elongated in at least one direction by external force applied thereto; a first fixing part fixing both ends of the first layer in the direction in which the first layer is elongated, so as to maintain the elongation of the first layer; a second layer including the electroactive polymer material and spaced apart from a surface of the first layer, the second layer being elongated in at least one direction by external force applied thereto; a second fixing part fixing both ends of the second layer in the direction in which the second layer is elongated, so as to maintain the elongation of the second layer; a first electrode part applied to a region of the first layer; and a second electrode part applied to a region of the second layer, wherein the second layer is provided in such a manner that a cell to be cultured is sandwiched between the surface of the first layer and a surface of the second layer.
