| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Creation of 3-D tissue model similar to a biological tissue using tissue engineering method are expected as an alternative approach to 2-D culture or animal test in a research for developing a new medicine or regenerative medicine. We have already developed functional 3-D heart tissue with perfusable blood vessels in vitro using cell sheet based tissue engineering approach. Present study assessed the possibility as 3-D tissue model by performing drug evaluation in the engineered heart tissues. It is now possible to analyze the pharmacological effects such as metabolism and the blood pressure as well as action potential by using vascularized heart tissue model.We believe that our 3-D heart tissue model offers a new possibilities for evaluation of drug efficacy.
