Human bone progenitor cells for clinical application: what kind of immune reaction does fetal xenograft tissue trigger in immuno-competent rats?

Dominique Pioletti, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Tanja Cloé Hausherr

The potential of human fetal bone cells for successful bone regeneration has been shown in vivo. In particular, it has been demonstrated that the seeding of these cells in porous poly-(L-lactic acid)/ ß-tricalcium phosphate scaffolds improved the bone form ...

Agents and methods using thereof for the prevention and treatment of stem cell muscle disorders

Johan Auwerx, Dongryeol Ryu, Hongbo Zhang, Keir Joe Menzies

Abstract of the invention: The present invention relates to agents that induce mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPR mt ) in muscle stem cells and prevents or reverse process of muscle stem cell senescence. Further, the invention relates to methods ...

AMPK alpha 1-LDH pathway regulates muscle stem cell self-renewal by controlling metabolic homeostasis

Lin Yang, Kei Sakamoto, Caterina Collodet, Laurent Bultot

Control of stem cell fate to either enter terminal differentiation versus returning to quiescence (self-renewal) is crucial for tissue repair. Here, we showed that AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), the master metabolic regulator of the cell, controls mu ...

Advanced technologies to control stem-cell based organogenesis

Nathalie Brandenberg

Organoids represent the first in vitro cell culture systems that closely resemble native tissues in terms of cellular composition, architecture and key aspects of physiology. Through the discovery of these cultures, researchers could demonstrate that stem ...

Distinct routes of lineage development reshape the human blood hierarchy across ontogeny

Cyrille Dunant

In a classical view of hematopoiesis, the various blood cell lineages arise via a hierarchical scheme starting with multipotent stem cells that become increasingly restricted in their differentiation potential through oligopotent and then unipotent progeni ...

Once a bone substitute, previously seeded with human bone progenitor cells, is implanted in a femoral condyle of a rat, it’s of importance to determine the intensity of a cell-triggered immune response of the host. Different techniques can be used, such as ...

In vivo mechanical loading combined with cell therapy in a bone tissue engineering scaffold

Tanja Cloé Hausherr

Bone defects generate a worldwide high demand for bone repair and reconstruction. The incidence of bone defect repair in our aging society is expected to increase in the next decades. As bone auto- and allografting solutions often suffer from limited suppl ...

Tunable and cell-responsive 3D poly(ethylene glycol) microenvironments for the development of tissue models

Stéphanie Elisabeth Metzger

The recapitulation of tissue organization and function in vitro is one of the main objectives of tissue engineering. Proper tissue function depends on the spatial assembly and interactions between key components such as cells, growth factors, signaling cue ...

A role for mitotic bookmarking of SOX2 in pluripotency and differentiation

Suliana Manley, David Michael Suter, Marion Leleu, Cédric Deluz, Aleksandr Benke, Andrea Callegari, Torgil Elias Friman, Mahé Cécile Raccaud, Daniel Strebinger

Mitotic bookmarking transcription factors remain bound to chromosomes during mitosis and were proposed to regulate phenotypic maintenance of stem and progenitor cells at the mitosis-to-G1 (M-G1) transition. However, mitotic bookmarking remains largely unex ...

Study of Cell Adhesion and Tracking Methods for in Vivo Cell Localisation in a Tissue-Engineering Scaffold

Tanja Cloé Hausherr, Thaïs Cléa Laura Séverine Clouet

Bone fracture healing problems, because of the loss of tissue regeneration, can affect many old or multi-pathologic patients around the world. Among the therapeutic strategies, bone substitutes, such as poly-(L-lactitve acid) with 5% wt. % ß-tricalcium pho ...
