| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Regenerative medicine is now developing, and it is important to understand the mechanism of human development. Sets of serial sections of embryos and fetuses are the largest source of information, but it is difficult to acquire human embryo specimens newly. Therefore, preservation and utilization of existing specimens are required. The Blechschmidt collection (Germany) is one of various collection including many sets of serial histological sections, however, glass slides of histological specimens normally deteriorate over time and staining by hematoxylin and eosin (HE), typically fade. Now we saved this important samples by digitization for research use. Three-dimensional reconstruction was attempted from the obtained two-dimensional image. In addition, we arranged the images and publishing them on the web, thereby contributing to the further activation of research.
