| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the development, the pathology, and the regeneration of the brain, a microenvironment plays an important role in regulating cellular functions by assembling specific extracellular matrix and growth factors. In this study, we aimed to develop an artificial scaffold mimicking the microenvironment and regulating cellular functions by photo-stimulation. We developed peptide-based scaffolds that are soluble in tube but form fiber after in vivo injection. We also developed peptide-based scaffolds immobilized light-sensitive protein.
