As next-generation regenerative medicine, technology is required to create three-dimensional tissue from isolated cells. Therefore, we try to construct a three-dimensional tissue and organ by assembling cell sheets technology and spheroids. However, just stacking cell sheets and spheroids can cause necrosis inside. Therefore, by constructing a vascular network on cell sheets and spheroids and connecting the vascular network and an artificial vascular bed capable of perfusion culture, the construction of three-dimensional tissue is enabled. We aim to create novel regenerative medicine and drug model using this constructed 3D tissue. Furthermore, using this tissue engineering technology, we challenge to create cultured meat and bio-robots.
