| Research Abstract |
This research deals with the two critical issues for the realization of the clinical use of ES/iPS cells in the treatment of heart failure: one is the effective differentiation into cardiomyocytes from ES/iPS cells, and another is the creation of cardiac tissue equivalent. By the integration of stem cell engineering, protein engineering, and tissue engineering, a novel method for fabrication of natural-ECM included scaffold layer was developed; differentiation into cardiomyocytes was enhanced on this scaffold; and furthermore, cardiac tissue equivalent was created through stacking multi such layers. The above experiments have brought out findings in the differentiation of mouse ES cells into cardiomyocytes, in the effect of mechanical characteristics of scaffold on the differentiation, and in the construction of cardiac tissue equivalent.
