Microtia is a congenital malformation of the auricle. The conventional therapy for microtia is reconstruction of the auricle using the patients' own costal cartilage. Because it is invasive to harvest costal cartilages, less invasive ways for auricular reconstruction need to be established. Recent reports have indicated a new method for the production of cartilaginous particles from human iPS cells. In order to adopt this method to create an auricular-shaped regenerative cartilage, a novel scaffold with the property of a three-dimensional shape memory was created. A scaffold with a three-dimensional shape of auricular frames composed of a helix and antihelix, which was designed to mimic auricular framework carved from autologous costal cartilage and transplanted in auricular reconstruction, was prepared, filled with cartilaginous particles, and subcutaneously transplanted in nude rats. The auricular-shaped regenerative cartilage maintained the given shape and cartilage features in vivo for 1 year. Our findings suggest a novel approach for auricular reconstruction.
