| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we pursued the strategy of integrating the cardiomyocyte differentiation, selection, and tissue construction into a continuous in-vivo simulation process. To this end, a vECM+nGraphene culture substrate was developed, which was based on ventricular extracellular matrix hydrogel and patterned stretchable nanographene electrodes were embedded in. The biochemical, biomechanical, and electrical properties of the substrate can be adjusted by means of crosslinker, concentration change. and application of strain and electrical stimuli. Cardiomyocyte differentiation was conducted on the substrate, and ventricular tissue was engineered by stacking intermediate modules, which were the construction blocks developed by the above strategy. It was confirmed that the hierarchical structure can be formed based on the substrate. The enhancement of the specific genetic expression and cellular orientation were also implicated.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では、vECMgel＋nGraphene培養基質による心臓・血管系の多種細胞の系統的な同時分化誘導および組織発生を目指して、まず独創的な生化学・構造・電気特性が調整できるvECMgel+nGraphene基質を開発した。また、再生組織構築についての新たな方法論―中間モジュール法を提唱しiPS細胞からorganoid発生の新たな研究展開と相まって組織構造発生の本質をつきとめる斬新なストラテジーを実行した。これらの革新的な方法は全ての再生組織構築に利用できることを示唆され、ヒトiPS 細胞をセルソースとする心筋再生組織の構築による心筋症の治療と創薬モデルの開発に極めて有意義な成果を得た。
