About
Midori Kato‐Negishi is a pioneering researcher in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, with a focus on developing functional neuromuscular constructs. Her most cited work, "Three-dimensional neuron–muscle constructs with neuromuscular junctions" (2013, 196 citations), introduced a groundbreaking approach to creating three-dimensional, innervated muscle tissue that mimics the structure and function of the neuromuscular junction. This achievement has profound implications for understanding neuromuscular diseases, drug screening, and potential therapeutic applications. Kato‐Negishi's research bridges the gap between neural and muscular tissue engineering, offering a platform to study cell-cell interactions in a physiologically relevant environment. Her work has been widely recognized for its innovation, contributing to the advancement of biofabrication techniques and the development of more complex tissue models. By integrating neurons and muscle cells into a single construct, she has opened new avenues for investigating disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and muscular dystrophy. Kato‐Negishi's contributions continue to inspire researchers in biomaterials, stem cell biology, and regenerative medicine, solidifying her reputation as a leader in the creation of functional tissue interfaces.
