Extracellular Matrix Production by Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Hydrogels Facilitates Cell Spreading and Is Inhibited by FGF-2

In native tissues, the interaction between cells and the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM) is reciprocal, as cells not only receive signals from the ECM but also actively remodel it through secretion of cell-derived ECM. However, very little is known ...

PEG/HA Hybrid Hydrogels for Biologically and Mechanically Tailorable Bone Marrow Organoids

Nicolas Antoine Vincent Broguiere, Martin Ehrbar, Queralt Vallmajó Martín

Bone marrow (BM) organoids provide powerful tools to study the vital interplay between the BM microenvironment and resident cells. Current biomaterials, however, are limited in terms of versatility for independently studying the biochemical and biophysical ...

Smart Hydrogels for the Augmentation of Bone Regeneration by Endogenous Mesenchymal Progenitor Cell Recruitment

Matthias Lütolf, Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga, Aline Roch, Philipp Sebastian Lienemann, Stéphanie Elisabeth Metzger, Queralt Vallmajó Martín, Martin Ehrbar, Vincent Milleret, Manuel Koch, Panagiota Papageorgiou

The treatment of bone defects with recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) requires high doses precluding broad clinical application. Here, a bioengineering approach is presented that strongly improves low-dose BMP-2-based bone regeneration by mob ...

The NAD-Booster Nicotinamide Riboside Potently Stimulates Hematopoiesis through Increased Mitochondrial Clearance

Johan Auwerx, Matthias Lütolf, Bart Deplancke, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga, George Coukos, Aurélien Laurent Jean-Charles Oggier, Dongryeol Ryu, Eija Riitta Pirinen, Loïc Tauzin

It has been recently shown that increased oxidative phosphorylation, as reflected by increased mitochondrial activity, together with impairment of the mitochondrial stress response, can severely compromise hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) regeneration. Here w ...

Label-Free Quantification Proteomics for the Identification of Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Matrisome Inside 3D Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Hydrogels

Matthias Lütolf, Yannick Robert Devaud, Martin Ehrbar

Cells modulate the functional properties of their environment by depositing extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins during biological processes in vivo and in vitro. Despite the ECMs central role in tissue formation, its quantification in hydrogels like Matrig ...

Engineered cell instructive matrices for fetal membrane healing

Martin Ehrbar

Iatrogenic preterm prelabour rupture of fetal membranes (iPPROM) occurs in 6-45% of the cases after fetoscopic procedures, posing a significant threat to fetal survival and well-being. The number of diagnostic and therapeutic prenatal interventions availab ...

Locally controlling mesenchymal stem cell morphogenesis by 3D PDGF-BB gradients towards the establishment of an in vitro perivascular niche

Matthias Lütolf, Philipp Sebastian Lienemann, Yannick Robert Devaud, Martin Ehrbar, Vincent Milleret

The perivascular niche is a complex microenvironment containing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), among other perivascular cells, as well as temporally organized biochemical and biophysical gradients. Due to a lack of conclusive phenotypic markers, MSCs' iden ...

Long-lasting fibrin matrices ensure stable and functional angiogenesis by highly tunable, sustained delivery of recombinant VEGF(164)

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Veronica Sacchi, Mikaël Martino, Kristen Lorentz, Martin Ehrbar, Elena Groppa

Clinical trials of therapeutic angiogenesis by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene delivery failed to show efficacy. Major challenges include the need to precisely control in vivo distribution of growth factor dose and duration of expression. Re ...
