| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to develop a microfluidic system that provides a three-dimensional cell culture environment by the reconstituted vascularized networks. It enables long-term tissue culture on a chip for morphogenesis studies. We have developed an on-chip angiogenesis assay, optimized spheroid culture condition to be injected to the chip, and realized vascularized network with a spheroid embedded. Further, the network was found perfusable by injecting microspheres and fluorescent dyes.
