Microfluidic engineering of artificial stem cell niches

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 ...

Substrate elasticity modulates the responsiveness of mesenchymal stem cells to commitment cues

Matthias Lütolf, Samy Gobaa

Fate choices of stem cells are regulated in response to a complex array of biochemical and physical signals from their microenvironmental niche. Whereas the molecular composition and the role of mechanical niche cues have been extensively studied, relative ...

Concise Reviews: In Vitro-Produced Pancreas Organogenesis Models in Three Dimensions: Self-Organization From Few Stem Cells or Progenitors

Filippo De Franceschi, Anne Grapin-Botton, Chiara Greggio

Three-dimensional models of organ biogenesis have recently flourished. They promote a balance between stem/progenitor cell expansion and differentiation without the constraints of flat tissue culture vessels, allowing for autonomous self-organization of ce ...

In Vitro Pancreas Organogenesis from Dispersed Mouse Embryonic Progenitors

Filippo De Franceschi, Anne Grapin-Botton, Chiara Greggio

The pancreas is an essential organ that regulates glucose homeostasis and secretes digestive enzymes. Research on pancreas embryogenesis has led to the development of protocols to produce pancreatic cells from stem cells. The whole embryonic organ can be c ...

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 ...

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 ...

Bioengineering approaches to guide stem cell-based organogenesis

Matthias Lütolf, Adrian Ranga, Nikolche Gjorevski

During organogenesis, various molecular and physical signals are orchestrated in space and time to sculpt multiple cell types into functional tissues and organs. The complex and dynamic nature of the process has hindered studies aimed at delineating morpho ...

Biomolecule gradients on surface initiated graft polymers

Ruben Casanova

Controlling the fate of stem cells in vitro is a key challenge towards using these cells in clinical applications. Adult stem cells (ASC) are known to reside in complex microenvironments called niches in vivo. These niches regulate stem cell fate providing ...
