Abstract
In order to realize true regenerative medicine, diverse research fields should be integrated for the establishment of a collective research group with various disciplines. For example, less invasive cell sheet transplantation in clinical settings should be achieved by the utilization of computer-aided robotic surgery. Here, I summarize my personal view and inside stories on early development of cell sheet engineering and its clinical applications in regenerative medicine from my research experiences as well as philosophy inspired by scientific fiction movies.
