Mechano-Biomaterials International Collaboration Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that develops materials to design and manipulate the mechanical environment around cells.
AboutAbout the lab
Building materials that manipulate cells from a mechanical perspective.
Professor Satoru Kidoaki of the Mechano-Biomaterials International Collaboration Lab creates biomaterials that manipulate the mechanobiology of cells and tissues.
The fundamental theme of the research is to understand and control the mechanisms by which interactions spanning the hierarchy of biological phenomena operate in time and space.
The lab works on creating materials that manipulate stem cells and cell migration, materials that guide tissue regeneration, and materials used for diagnosing cancer cells.
Key terms
- Mechanobiology
- A field that studies how the forces acting on cells and tissues relate to biological phenomena
- Extracellular matrix
- The scaffolding material surrounding cells. Its mechanical properties, such as stiffness, affect how cells function
- Electrospinning
- A method of producing fine fibers from a polymer solution using electric force
ResearchResearch themes
Professor Kidoaki's research is built on three pillars: creating biomaterials that manipulate the mechanobiology of cells and tissues, systematic analysis of mechanisms using those materials, and studies based on single-molecule observation and nanomechanical measurement. Currently the lab works on cell-manipulating materials, matrices for tissue engineering, and the physical chemistry of biopolymer assemblies.
*Illustrative imageCreating materials that manipulate cells
The lab designs microscale extracellular mechanical fields that manipulate cell function and behavior. It makes materials for manipulating stem cells and cell migration, guiding tissue regeneration, and diagnosing cancer cells.
*Illustrative imageArtificial matrices for tissue engineering
The lab develops artificial extracellular matrices, scaffolds, and devices for tissue engineering. It uses electrospinning.
*Illustrative imagePhysical chemistry of DNA and protein assemblies
From a physical chemistry standpoint, the lab studies how DNA and proteins associate, dissociate, and self-assemble, as well as molecular biomechanics.
