Possibilities in Germ Cell Research: An Engineering Insight

Omid Mashinchian, Morteza Mahmoudi

Germ cells (GCs) are responsible for fertility and disruptions in their development or function cause infertility. However, current knowledge about the diverse mechanisms involved in GC development and function is still in its infancy. This is mainly becau ...

Microfluidic engineering of artificial stem cell niches

Simone Allazetta

Stem cells play a key role in a wide range of biological processes, in large part due to their ability to self-renew or differentiate into specialized cell types in response to various biological cues. In vivo, stem cells reside in a complex microenvironme ...

A cell engineering strategy to enhance the safety of stem cell therapies

Elisa Oricchio

The long-term risk of malignancy associated with stem cell therapies is a significant concern in the clinical application of this exciting technology. We report a cancer-selective strategy to enhance the safety of stem cell therapies. Briefly, using a cell ...

3D Reconstitution of the Patterned Neural Tube from Embryonic Stem Cells

Matthias Lütolf, Adrian Ranga

Inducing organogenesis in 3D culture is an important aspect of stem cell research. Anterior neural structures have been produced from large embryonic stem cell (ESC) aggregates, but the steps involved in patterning such complex structures have been ill def ...

In vitro Fate Mapping of Single Hematopoietic Stem Cells

Aline Roch

The in vitro expansion of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) for clinical applications is hampered by a rapid loss of HSC blood reconstitution capability in culture. While these rare cells can be stimulated to massively proliferate, cell divisions mostly resul ...

Genomic instability in induced stem cells

Didier Trono, Marc Samuel Friedli

The ability to reprogram adult cells into stem cells has raised hopes for novel therapies for many human diseases. Typical stem cell reprogramming protocols involve expression of a small number of genes in differentiated somatic cells with the c-Myc and Kl ...

Development of a microfluidic on-chip reverse transcription module for the analysis of hematopoietic single stem cells

Viktoria Stepanova

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have a unique ability to self-renew and produce differentiated progeny throughout the entire life of the human body. However, present clinical use of HSCs in regenerative medicine is largely hindered by our limited understan ...

Improved viability of freeze-thawed embryonic stem cells after exposure to glutathione

Seung Tae Lee

Adding a potent antioxidant, glutathione (GSH), to a cryoprotective solution consisting of dimethyl sulfoxide and ethylene glycol and/or postthaw culture medium significantly improved the postthaw viability of mouse embryonic stem cells. This effect, which ...

Chromosomal Number Aberrations and Transformation in Adult Mouse Retinal Stem Cells In Vitro

Freddy Radtke, Ivan Stamenkovic

Purpose. The potential of stem cells (SCs) as a source for cell-based therapy on a wide range of degenerative diseases and damaged tissues such as retinal degeneration has been recognized. Generation of a high number of retinal stem cells (RSCs) in vitro w ...

Muscle stem cell's in vitro bipolar niche

Adrien de Tonnac

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 ...
