Cellular response on a novel inorganic nanotube, Imogolite, thin film

Abstract

Recently, the researches of medical techniques are paid attention to the regeneration medicines, regenerating the damaged body tissue in vitro cell culture and following tissue reconstructions. Therefore, the novel cell scaffolds for controlling the cell proliferation and differentiation more efficiently are desired. In this research, Imogolite, an inorganic nanotube, was estimated as novel cell scaffolds for osteoblast-like cell, MC 3T3-E1.
