| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Our bodies are always exposed to mechanical stress, for example, knees are subjected to a load while walking. Such stimulation is deemed to play an important role on activation of cell functions. In this study, to clarify the relationship between the mechanical stimulation and the cell functions and to utilize the mechanism of such mechanical stimulations, we investigated cell response when the cells (chondrosarcoma cells) were cyclically stretched after culturing in a self-assembling peptide hydrogel. As a result, the decreased secretion of collagen and another protein was observed.
