| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We aimed to develop a new platform to obtain functional and mature cardiomyocytes derived from human embryonic stem (ES) and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by utilizing a microfluidic device in combination with THz wave. Specifically, A. to develop a microfluidic device allowing three-dimensional cell culture for cardiomyocytes, B. to combine the experimental setups of both THz microscope and microfluidic devices, C. to make mature cardiomyocytes by irradiating THz wave. Our devices would be very beneficial for regenerative medicine as well as drug screening for heart diseases.
