| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To understand the physico-chemical property of hard tissue development region, we investigated the secondary ossification center of mouse femur. Early stage of calcification can be seen at day 5. The amorphous phase calcium phosphate turned into crystalline calcium phosphate after 24 h, and the calcified region expanded to the distal region of secondary ossification center in mouse femur. Also, the Young's modulus, alkaline phosphatase activity and pH of that region were increased according to the tissue maturation.
Based on these findings, we reproduced such physico-chemical properties by using hydrogel and applied them for bone tissue generation in vitro. Consequently, we found that a certain young's modulus of hydrogel enhances mineralization of ex vivo bone tissue as well as cell aggregations.
