β¦ Synopsis
We have developed a novel strategy for regenerative medicine to recover tissue functions by using temperatureresponsive cell culture surfaces. To overcome the limits of conventional methods such as the use of single-cell suspension injection and the use of biodegradable polymer scaffolds, we have applied transplantable cell sheets fabricated with temperature-responsive culture surfaces for cell delivery. Here, we summarize the development of the next generation of temperature-responsive cell culture surfaces using modifications of the polymer coating to allow for rapid cell sheet recovery; improved culture conditions, such that animal-derived products can be eliminated; and altered phase transition temperatures to produce patterned cell sheets. These designs allow for the reconstruction of more complex tissues to potentially treat a wide range of diseases.

We have developed a new cell culture substrate grafted with a temperature-responsive polymer, poly(Nisopropylacrylamide) (PIPAAm) using an electron beam irradiation method. These surfaces are hydrophobic in culture at 37Β°C due to the hydration/dehydration changes intrinsic to PIPAAm at 32Β°C, and the
Confluent human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) cultured on thermo-responsive culture dish grafted with poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) were recovered as a contiguous cell sheet. The double-layered co-culture was achieved by placing the recovered HAEC sheet onto the rat hepatocyte layer directly. The
