Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to fabricate cell aggregates constructed with epithelial cells and mesenchymal cells, and to lead the constructed cells to biological tissue including epithelial tissue and bone tissue. By using mesenchymal stem cell aggregates, we have succeeded in fabricating bony like tissue in vitro. Moreover, we have also succeeded in making an oriented bone formation in back of mouse by using this system. Thus, by combining with epithelial tissue layer, which is now under construction, these in vitro fabricated tissue would be a promising tool as a new implantable material.
