| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study revealed that growth ability of “Biotube” vascular grafts which can be made in a living body. Biotubes are made by in body tissue architecture technology (IBTA), which is one of regenerative medical technology. Only by embedding a mold into subcutaneous pouches of a living body for 2 months, an autologous implantable tissue with desired shape and size can be obtained.
When a Biotube implanted into native arteries, it can engraft to native tissues and then regenerate to three-layered vascular construction within few months. In this study, we confirmed that after implantation of Biotubes into common carotid arteries of juvenile beagles, their diameter and length increased according to the growth of native arteries. This results suggested that Biotubes have growth potential in a living body.
