Outline of Final Research Achievements

Within the period, it was studied in the salivary glands and pancreas-derived fibroblasts. In co-culture with somatic stem cells and salivary gland or pancreas-derived fibroblasts, stem cells were differentiated into cells of the salivary glands or pancreas. Therefore, it became clear that fibroblasts can be used as differentiation inducing material of stem cells. In the future of regenerative medicine, can be induced to differentiate only in the biological material, there is a possibility of the development of new tissue regenerative medicine that a safe and complete autologous transplantation.
