In clinical situations, bone defects are often located at load bearing sites. Tissue engineering scaffolds are future bone substitutes and hence they will be subjected to mechanical stimulation. The goal of this study was to test if cyclic loading can be u ...
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 nuclear protein c-Myc is one of the most potent proto-oncogenes described. Its expression is found to be deregulated in more than 50 percent of human cancers, where it has been shown to control a number of biological processes including driving prolife ...
Muscle degenerative disorders, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, have a profound impact on the quality of life and survival of patients. Transplantation of myoblasts to restore muscle function has been discouraging since these cells die and don't migrat ...
Transforming Growth Factor beta (TGFβ) signaling plays an important role in a variety of cellular processes during embryonic development, adult tissue homeostasis and cancer. TGFβI ligand is a potent inhibitor of early hematopoietic progenitor [1] cells in ...
Tissue engineering scaffolds are porous structures that allow bone cells to reside and produce bone. This process involves migration and differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells and production of cartilage and bone by chondrocytes and osteoblasts, whic ...
Previous studies support resorbable biocomposites made of poly L-lactic acid (PLA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) produced by supercritical gas foaming as a suitable scaffold for tissue engineering. The present study was undertaken to demonstrate the bio ...
The present invention provides methods and compositions for increasing the hematopoietic potential of a population of hematopoietic progenitor cells, vascular cells, and or hemogenic endothelium, by exposing the cells to at least one external biomechanical ...
The capacity of cells to differentiate into specialized types is fundamental to the development of organisms. However, the underlying cell differentiation process is not yet well understood. In this work, we consider cell differentiation resulting from int ...
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 ...
