Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Scanning probe microscopy and electrochemical devices were applied to characterize human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) differentiation and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) processes. The osteoblast differentiation process of hMSCs was quantitatively evaluated by electrochemical activity and morphological changes. In evaluating the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition EMT process using SICM, we were able to establish a process to analyze shape changes and appearance rates such as ruffles. By introducing a probe microscope from the open-top of the multilayered microfluidic device, we succeeded to generate laminar flow and apply shear stress to vascular endothelial cells.
