Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we developed microdevices for use in vascular bioassays. We have developed a device that mimics blood flow and can be used for fluid culture, a cell-stretching device that mimics vasodilation, and a device made of gelatin. By changing the cells to be cultured in these devices, various vascular models can be created. Applications include: 1) hematopoiesis during early mammalian development, and 2) smooth muscle cell proliferation in pulmonary hypertension.
