About

Nobuhito Mori is a researcher in tissue engineering and biofabrication, with a focus on developing advanced skin-equivalent models that incorporate vascular structures. His major contributions center on creating culture systems that more accurately mimic human skin physiology. Notably, Mori pioneered a method to construct skin-equivalents integrated with perfusable channels on curved surfaces, embedding anchoring structures to prevent tissue contraction during culture. He also developed a stretchable culture device for skin-equivalents with improved epidermis thickness, enabling dynamic mechanical stimulation while maintaining vascular channel integrity. These innovations address critical challenges in skin tissue engineering, such as achieving proper vascularization and mechanical stability. Though his most-cited works currently have 3 citations each, they represent foundational steps toward more physiologically relevant skin models for transplantation and drug testing. Mori’s work on combining perfusion channels with mechanical stretching in a single platform is particularly notable, as it allows researchers to study skin responses under conditions that better replicate the body’s dynamic environment. His research holds promise for advancing wound healing and skin regeneration therapies.
