Covalent cell surface functionalization of human fetal osteoblasts for tissue engineering

Sandrine Gerber, Corinne Scaletta, Davide Städler, Aurélien Godinat, Françoise Borcard

The chemical functionalization of cell-surface proteins of human primary fetal bone cells with hydrophilic bioorthogonal intermediates was investigated. Toward this goal, chemical pathways were developed for click reaction-mediated coupling of alkyne deriv ...

Plasticity of fetal cartilaginous cells

Dominique Pioletti, Corinne Scaletta, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, 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 ...

Chronic wound healing by fetal cell therapy may be explained by differential gene profiling observed in fetal versus old skin cells

Dominique Pioletti, Corinne Scaletta, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Nathalie Hirt-Burri

Engineering of fetal tissue has a high potential for the treatment of acute and chronic wounds of the skin in humans as these cells have high expansion capacity under simple culture conditions and one organ donation can produce Master Cell Banks which can ...

Isolation and in vitro chondrogenic potential of human fetal spine cells

Dominique Pioletti, Corinne Scaletta, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Sandra Jaccoud, Aurélie Quintin

Cell therapy for nucleus pulposus regeneration is an attractive treatment for early disc degeneration as shown by studies using autologous nucleus pulposus cells or stem cells. Another potential source of cells is fetal cells. We investigated the feasibili ...

Whole-cell bioprocessing of human fetal cells for tissue engineering of skin

Dominique Pioletti, Corinne Scaletta, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Nathalie Hirt-Burri

Current restrictions for human cell-based therapies have been related to technological limitations with regards to cellular proliferation capacity (simple culture conditions), maintenance of differentiated phenotype for primary human cell culture and trans ...

In vitro characterization of immune-related properties of human fetal bone cells for potential tissue engineering applications

Dominique Pioletti, Corinne Scaletta, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate

We describe herein some immunological properties of human fetal bone cells recently tested for bone tissue engineering applications. Adult mesenchymal stem cells and adult osteoblasts were included in the study for comparison. Surface markers involved in b ...

Wound healing gene-family expression differences between fetal and foreskin cells used for bioengineered skin substitutes

Dominique Pioletti, Corinne Scaletta, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Nathalie Hirt-Burri

For tissue engineering, several cell types and tissues have been proposed as starting material. Allogenic skin products available for therapeutic usage are mostly developed with cell culture and with foreskin tissue of young individuals. Fetal skin cells o ...

Human muscular fetal cells: a potential cell source for muscular therapies

Dominique Pioletti, Corinne Scaletta, Nathalie Hirt-Burri

Myoblast transfer therapy has been extensively studied for a wide range of clinical applications, such as tissue engineering for muscular loss, cardiac surgery or Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy treatment. However, this approach has been hindered by numerous l ...

Human fetal bone cells associated with ceramic reinforced PLA scaffolds for tissue engineering

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Corinne Scaletta, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Claire Diane Delabarde

Fetal bone cells were shown to have an interesting potential for therapeutic use in bone tissue engineering due to their rapid growth rate and their ability to differentiate into mature osteoblasts in vitro. We describe hereafter their capability to promot ...

Consistency of fetal cell banks for research and clinical use

Dominique Pioletti, Corinne Scaletta, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Aurélie Quintin

Current restrictions for human cell-based therapies have been related to technological limitations with regards to cellular proliferation capacity and maintenance of differentiated phenotype for primary human cell culture. In our experience, we have seen t ...
