Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we developed systems that enable application of stretch stimuli to HSEs during formation. Consequently, we found that in the ST group, the epidermal layer is thicker than NST group. Furthermore, synthesis of basement membrane proteins and deposition in the basal layer are increased; therefore, a more developed basement membrane is formed. Further research using this system may elucidate effects of stretching on skin properties and wound healing. In addition, application to an in vitro model of a hypertrophic scar is also expected.
