Outline of Final Research Achievements

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes were formed in a shape suitable for bone regeneration (CNTp), and evaluated the possibility of applications in bone regeneration medicine. We couldn't produce bones in vitro but CNTp showed good cell proliferation, bone conduction, and excellent capacity to hold and release of the drug sustainably. It was suggested that CNTp can be applied to regenerative medicine using tissue engineering not only as a filler of the bone defect, but also as a scaffold material transplanted by culturing cells and as a carrier for controlled release of drugs.
