Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed in vitro experimental model to generate two-dimensional pattern formation on a glass slide. The cell position control is relatively easy for 2D culture and our system does not require heterotypic cell-cell interactions but epithelial cells can produce the specific pattern by themselves. Here we employed photolithography technologies to control initial culture environments on a glass slide in order to match the in-vitro experimental conditions and simulation conditions exactly. By conducting pattern formation experiments and developmental simulations simultaneously with the same initial cell positions, quality of the analysis can be improved significantly to elucidate the pattern formation mechanisms.
