Epiphyseal Chondro-Progenitor Cell Therapy For Articular Cartilage Regeneration
Articular cartilage regeneration poses particularly tough challenges for implementing cell-based therapies. Many cell types have been investigated looking for a balanced combination of responsiveness and stability, yet techniques are still far from definin ...
EPFL2013In situ cell manipulation through enzymatic hydrogel photopatterning
Matthias Lütolf, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Mikaël Martino, Katarzyna Mosiewicz, Laura Kolb, Martin Ehrbar
The physicochemical properties of hydrogels can be manipulated in both space and time through the controlled application of a light beam. However, methods for hydrogel photopatterning either fail to maintain the bioactivity of fragile proteins and are thus ...
Nature Publishing Group2013Mechanotransduction of epiphyseal chondro-progenitors in 3D hydrogel system.
Of the many external factors that affect cell behavior, mechanical cues are fundamental in modulating a cell’s phenotype. Biomimetic mechanosensing requires the three-dimensional encapsulation of cells within a controlled microenvironment. As musculoskelet ...
2012Investigation of Integrin Expression in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells during Chondrogenesis in Different Culture Systems
Cartilage tissue engineering aims to develop a material that can be implanted with cells to repair damage in articular cartilage. The extracellular matrix is known to play a key role in regulating stem cell behaviour via cell-matrix interactions and integr ...
2011Influence of TECK on chondrocyte differentiation
Nowadays, cartilage repair is a worldwide centre of interest due to the low potential of cartilage to heal spontaneously and the increasing number of patients around the world. One of the techniques to treat cartilage defect is to use autologous human seru ...
2010Plasticity of fetal cartilaginous cells
Dominique Pioletti, Corinne Scaletta, Sandra Jaccoud, Aurélie Quintin
Tissue-specific stem cells found in adult tissues can participate to the repair process following injury. However adult tissues, such as articular cartilage and intervertebral disc, have low regeneration capacity, whereas fetal tissues, such as articular c ...
2010Occurrence of microcystin-producing cyanobacteria in Ugandan freshwater habitats
Microcystins (MCs) are cyclic heptapeptides, which are the most abundant toxins produced by cyanobacteria in freshwater. The phytoplankton of many freshwater lakes in Eastern Africa is dominated by cyanobacteria. Less is known, however, on the occurrence o ...
2010Understanding effect of network structure of PolyEthylene Glycol Diacrylate hydrogels on cellular activities using bovine chondrocytes as a model system
In this dissertation, we investigated the effect of poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogel network structures on various cellular activities such as proliferation and matrix production using chondrocytes as a cell source. We have used various methods to alter the ...
