| Research Abstract |
As living tissue maintains its shape and function by adaptive self-remodeling, it is difficult to design an artificial shape and a function in the body. Our theme is the "mechanical environment designing" which is the key factor for successful tissue-engineering treatment. Several biological, clinical and mathematical approaches to the "mechanical environment designing" were examined to discuss how to design the proper environments and how to control the shape and the function of living tissues.
Following issues were the examples ;
1. Effects of oscillation environment on differentiation, adhesion, and tissue formation of cells.
2. Effects of compression-sliding condition on cartilage tissue.
3. Total Joint Regeneration system as an environment-designing treatment.
4. Spheroid formation under oscillation environment.
5. Measurement of tribological performances of tisse engineered cartilage.
Direct clinical relevance of this concept is also proposed, where the bio-environment designing is applied to the treatment of joint diseases. "Total Joint Regeneration system(TJR) " has been proposed to control the mechanical environment of joint.
