| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research focused on the development of the tissue-engineered bile duct which is studied by few researchers. We tried to construct the tissue-engineered bile duct with stretchability by knitting of bio-degradable gel strand. The construction of glucomannan gel strand and knitting it were achieved. The glucomannan gel was suggested that it will be dissolved for 10 days in rat body. Therefore, the prolonging of the degradiation time is needed by increasing the glucomannan concentration and performing additional chemical crosslinking. Otherwise, the accretion of replacement from the material to tissue is needed. In addition, the characteristics of this material is expected to be useful application for medical treatment.
