Abstract

It is said that a myocardial tissue does not regenerate because it has low capability to self restore. Therefore, regenerative medicine using the multi-layer cell sheet is gathering attention. Generally, the cell sheet is made without using a scaffold, however, the method using carbon nano-tube (CNT) as a scaffold was examined in this study, for supplementing the adhesive property of the cell sheet. Futher examination related to the cell adhesiveness is necessary for CNT as a scaffold of the cell sheet. So we investigate the cell adhesiveness of CNT. Experimental results, CNT surfaces had the tendency of lower cell adhesiveness in comparison with the normal culture vessel surface. Therefore, we will be described in this report a plasma activation (P-A) treatment to CNT was carried out to improve cell adhesiveness.
