    Polydactyly-derived allogeneic chondrocyte cell-sheet transplantation with high tibial osteotomy as regenerative therapy for knee osteoarthritis

    Allogeneic cell therapies are not fully effective in treating osteoarthritis of the knee (OAK). We recently reported that transplantation of autologous chondrocyte cell-sheets along with open-wedge high tibial...

    Bio-artificial pleura using autologous dermal fibroblast sheets to mitigate air leaks during thoracoscopic lung resection

    Lung air leaks (LALs) due to visceral pleura injury during surgery are a difficult-to-avoid complication in thoracic surgery (TS). Reliable LAL closure is an important patient management issue after TS. We dem...

    Combined surgery and chondrocyte cell-sheet transplantation improves clinical and structural outcomes in knee osteoarthritis

    Current cartilage regenerative therapies are not fully effective in treating osteoarthritis of the knee (OAK). We have developed chondrocyte sheets for autologous transplantation and tested these in in vitro a...

    Design of Temperature-Responsive Cell Culture Surfaces for Cell Sheet-Based Regenerative Therapy and 3D Tissue Fabrication

    This chapter describes the concept of “cell sheet engineering” for the creation of transplantable cellular tissues and organs. In contrast to scaffold-based tissue engineering, cell sheet engineering facilitat...

    Bio-artificial pleura using an autologous dermal fibroblast sheet

    Air leaks (ALs) are observed after pulmonary resections, and without proper treatment, can produce severe complications. AL prevention is a critical objective for managing patients after pulmonary resection. T...

    Middle ear mucosal regeneration by tissue-engineered cell sheet transplantation

    The recurrence of cholesteatoma after surgical treatment often occurs as a result of poor mucosal regeneration in the middle ear cavity and mastoid cavity and changes, such as granulation tissue formation, whi...
