Research Abstract |
The optimum culture conditions (type of collagens, with or without use of Matrigel) for constructing artificial three-dimensional cardiac tissue were evaluated. The condition of using home-made collagen and Matrigel was found to have properties similar to the artificial myocardial tissue which have been reported. However, the problems of small contraction force and poor responsiveness to calcium are remaining. It still needs to optimize culture conditions in addition to collagen and Matrigel.
