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
Monolayered mesenchymal stem cells repair scarred myocardium after myocardial infarction.
Yoshinori Miyahara,Noritoshi Nagaya,Masaharu Kataoka,Bobby Yanagawa,Koichi Tanaka,Hiroyuki Hao,Kozo Ishino,Hideyuki Ishida,Tatsuya Shimizu,Kenji Kangawa,Shunji Sano,Teruo Okano,Soichiro Kitamura,Hidezo Mori +13 more
TL;DR: It is shown that monolayered mesenchymal stem cells have multipotent and self-propagating properties after transplantation into infarcted rat hearts and may be a new therapeutic strategy for cardiac tissue regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comb-type grafted hydrogels with rapid deswelling response to temperature changes
Ryo Yoshida,Katsumi Uchida,Yuzo Kaneko,Kiyotaka Sakai,Akihiko Kikuchi,Yasuhisa Sakurai,Teruo Okano +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a crosslinked polymeric hydrogel with grafted side chains was used to induce rapid de-swelling by tailoring the polymeric gel architecture at the molecular level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication of Pulsatile Cardiac Tissue Grafts Using a Novel 3-Dimensional Cell Sheet Manipulation Technique and Temperature-Responsive Cell Culture Surfaces
Tatsuya Shimizu,Masayuki Yamato,Yuki Isoi,T. Akutsu,Takeshi Setomaru,Kazuhiko Abe,Akihiko Kikuchi,Mitsuo Umezu,Teruo Okano +8 more
TL;DR: These results demonstrate that electrically communicative pulsatile 3-D cardiac constructs were achieved both in vitro and in vivo by layering cardiomyocyte sheets.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel recovery system for cultured cells using plasma-treated polystyrene dishes grafted with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide).
TL;DR: Property of cell culture surfaces can be readily transformed by this technique reversibly into hydrophilic and hydrophobic coatings of PIPAAm-grafted polymers.
