The aim of this study was to test the association of fetal bone cells with ceramic reinforced PLA scaffolds for tissue engineering. As animal models, the craniotomy and the femoral condyle approaches in rats were chosen to follow cortical and trabecular bo ...
Micromotion affects the tissue outcome at the peri-implant site. Interstitial fluid flow, induced by micromotion, may play a curtail part in the mesenchymal stem cell differentiation pathway necessary for bone regeneration. The aim of this project is to mo ...
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are a population of multipotent cells that can differentiate into various lineages such as fibroblast, osteoblast, chondrocyte and adipocyte and can be maintained over extended periods in vitro. They are also known to have a su ...
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 ...
A biological assay was designed and developed to study the effect of excreted morphogens of mechanically stimulated mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) on neighboring cells. Physical contact of different cell pop- ulations is prevented by patterning the cell ...
This unit describes a protocol for the isolation of cells from murine embryonic stem cells with hematopoietic stem cell activity, defined by the ability to reconstitute, long term, multiple lineages of the hematopoietic system of lethally irradiated mice. ...
Most tissue engineering approaches include the delivery of reparative cells to a damaged host tissue. Generally these cells are sought to be of a stem cell character since they retain a high potential for proliferation and differentiation into diverse phen ...
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 ...
Cells in our tissues are exposed to complex arrays of biochemical and biophysical cues from their protein- and sugar-rich extracellular matrix (ECM). In concert with cell- intrinsic regulatory cascades, these temporally and spatially coordinated signals in ...
Hes1, a major target gene in Notch signaling, regulates the fate and differentiation of various cell types in many developmental systems. To gain a novel insight into the role of Hes1 in corneal tissue, we performed gain-of-function and loss-of-function st ...
