| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have achieved to develop an in vitro - in silico interface platform for elucidating the logic of multicellular pattern formation. Two-dimensional collective cell pattern formation was achieved using only normal human bronchial epithelial cells. Then, simple microfabrication techniques followed by feedback iteration were used to bridge the gap between the mathematical model and in vitro experiments. The mechanisms underlying pattern formation of bronchial epithelial cells were evaluated using a reaction-diffusion model. The results indicated that long-range inhibition and short-range activation systems determine the direction of collective cell migration to form a specific pattern.
