     More details

    To develop the bio-robot with autonomous functions, we connected a cerebral brain organoid to an engineered muscle tissue. Immunoflulrescent imaging of the bio-robot shows axons elongated from the cerebral brain organoid to the engineered muscle tissue. The result indicate that the functional connect is established between the cerebral organoid and the engineered muscle tissue. By contrast, the bio-robot did not express autonomous actuation.

     More details

    We have investigated an effect of elastic modulus on morphology of engineered muscle tissues. The engineered muscle tissues were constructed by culturing C2C12 cells in collagen hydrogels with multichannel structures (Multi-Channel Collagen Gels: MCCGs). To test the effect of elastic modulus of MCCGs on the tissue morphology, we modified the elastic modulus of MCCG by crosslinking with genipin. By comparing cellular morphology of C2C12 cells in MCCGs, we have shown that MCCG with genipin crosslinking supports cell adhesion and anisotropic elongation of C2C12 cells seeded in MCCG. The results suggests that a mechanical modification of MCCG is required for effectively culturing myoblasts and constructing functional engineered muscle tissues by using MCCG.
