A cell enclosure device according to the present invention is a cell enclosure device for constructing a multicellular structure obtained by culturing cells, a porous membrane being provided to at least a portion of the cell enclosure device. In the present invention, a tissue-type chip is provided with the cell enclosure device in which one type of cell is enclosed. In the present invention, an organ-type chip is provided with the cell enclosure device, in which at least two types of cells are enclosed. In the present invention, a kit for providing a multicellular structure is provided with an openable/closable sealed container including the tissue-type chip or the organ-type chip and a culture medium. In the present invention, an organ-type chip system is provided with at least two of the tissue-type chip or the organ-type chip, and the tissue-type chips or the organ-type chips are connected while maintaining cell enclosure properties. A method for culturing cells according to the present invention uses the cell enclosure device. A cell transportation method according to the present invention uses cells in the cell enclosure device. |
