| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We succeeded to fabricate nano-biodevices that consist of artificial lipid membranes containing functional membrane proteins; the membrane is suspended over a microwell containing “cytoplasmic” fluid. First, we introduced model proteins such as α-Hemolysin into the lipid membrane and observed Ca2+ ion transport through them from the change in the intensity of a fluorescent probe. Second, we also tried to control the growth of neurons on the nanobiodevice by modifying the substrate surface (morphology, coating, and/or electrostatic charges). The confinement of hydrogels in the microwells was proposed to improve the stability of the lipid membrane during neuron culture. The lipid membrane suspended over microwells was very sensitive for the mechanical stress induced by controlling the osmotic pressure. Our naobiodevice will be a promising platform for analysis and control of mechanical stress on the living cells.
