| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigated the behavior of inflammatory cells in the wound healing process in human skin using a new artificial skin model with macrophages. According to the new laws of regenerative medicine in Japan, we have revised our protocol for construction process of making artificial skin model.
After this revision, the monocytes changed to macrophages in the samples as the previous model. Also the number of macrophages increased and the size was larger after laser irradiation. The macrophages were activated both in the irradiated area and in the whole sample as well.
In conclusion, this new artificial skin model with macrophages demonstrated increased tissue interactions, especially in inflammatory reactions.
