Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) are multipotent adult stem cells that are predominantly obtained from the bone marrow. MSC have a high ability to differentiate into a multitude of cell types that are very attractive for tissue engineering. To study the effect ...
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 ...
Stem cells capacity to self-renew and differentiate into specialized cell types, endow them with great promises in regenerative medicine. It is believed that the stem cells microenvironment plays a significant role in regulating their fate. However, with e ...
According to the last WHO numbers, cardiac diseases remain the first cause of death in the world. Cell therapy represents a promising approach to restore heart function. Cardiac derived adherent proliferation (CAP) cells were shown to support the heart reg ...
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) are probably the best understood somatic stem cells and often serve as a paradigm for other stem cells. Nevertheless, most current techniques to genetically manipulate them in vivo are either constitutive, and/or induced in s ...
Of the many external factors that affect cell behavior, mechanical cues have been found to be fundamental in modulating a cell’s phenotype. Indeed, merely changing substrate stiffness in monolayer culture systems generates drastically different phenotypes ...
Stem cell use in bladder tissue engineering is a recently addressed area of investigation that has generated excitement as a novel way to restore and regenerate lost or damaged urinary bladder tissue. The remodelling of smooth muscle plays a significant ro ...
The promise of regenerative medicine depends on succeeding at generating sufficient amounts of functional, transplantable tissue by reliably differentiating pluripotent stem cells through the paths of ontogeny, or by efficiently expanding adult stem cells ...
In the domain of regenerative medicine research there are many fronts aimed at increasing our understanding of induced pluripotent, embryonic and adult stem cells. Recently a new front has appeared, stem cell niches, the microenvironment that is a crucial ...
