Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed new technologies to produce anisotropic, complex hydrogel materials that encapsulate multiple types of cells with micrometer-scale precision, using microfluidics. We tried to build up relatively large-sized perfusable tissue models, especially liver tissues, by using unit hydrogel structures as building blocks. In addition, relating technologies such as cell sorting and transformation of ECM components into micrometer-sized particles/fibers have been developed, in order to establish versatile strategies useful for 3D tissue engineering.
