Journal ArticleDOI

Kohji Nishida,Masayuki Yamato,Yasutaka Hayashida,K. Watanabe,Kazuaki Yamamoto,Eijiro Adachi,Shigeru Nagai,Akihiko Kikuchi,Naoyuki Maeda,Hitoshi Watanabe,Teruo Okano,Yasuo Tano +11 more
TL;DR: Sutureless transplantation of carrier-free cell sheets composed of autologous oral mucosal epithelial cells may be used to reconstruct corneal surfaces and can restore vision in patients with bilateral severe disorders of the ocular surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osteoarthritis associated with mild chondrodysplasia in transgenic mice expressing alpha 1(IX) collagen chains with a central deletion
Ken Nakata,Keiro Ono,Jun-ichi Miyazaki,Bjorn R. Olsen,Y. Muragaki,Eijiro Adachi,Ken Ichi Yamamura,Tomoatsu Kimura +7 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that mutations in type IX collagen genes may cause certain forms of osteoarthritis and chondrodysplasia in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro Formation of Hybrid Fibrils of Type v Collagen and Type I Collagen Limited Growth of Type I Collagen Into Thick Fibrils by Type V Collagen
Eijiro Adachi,Toshihiko Hayashi +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the fibrils with a predominant type V collagen content may occur in the pericellular environment of various tissues, as a basic structure in connecting basal laminae with interstitial collagen fibril.
Journal ArticleDOI
Condensation of collagen fibrils to the direct vicinity of fibroblasts as a cause of gel contraction
TL;DR: It seems likely that the fibril condensation onto the cells causes the overall gel contraction, since fibroblasts within collagen gel synthesized little collagen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth rate of human fibroblasts is repressed by the culture within reconstituted collagen matrix but not by the culture on the matrix.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the repression of cell growth by collagen fibrils in the three-dimensional gels is not due to direct cell-cell contact, but due to the distribution and number of contact sites between a cell and collagenfibrils.
