Therefore, when the new structure made of collagen according to the present invention is used as a member for tissue regeneration, surprisingly, promotion of regeneration, shortening of a treatment period, functional recovery, or the like of bodily tissue such as nerve tissue, subdermal tissue, submucosal tissue, membranous tissue, fat tissue, muscle tissue, skin tissue, and gingival tissue can be improved. Furthermore, when the structure according to the present invention is used to a patient having neuropathic pain, the member has an effect on the disappearance of the pain.	11-12-2009
