Modeling hematopoietic stem cell dynamics in bioengineered niches

Sonja Giger

Bone marrow transplantation is a well-established medical procedure for the treatment of various hematologic diseases. However, the relatively low number of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that can be harvested, especially from umbilical cord blood, limits ...

Advanced technologies to control stem-cell based organogenesis

Nathalie Brandenberg

Organoids represent the first in vitro cell culture systems that closely resemble native tissues in terms of cellular composition, architecture and key aspects of physiology. Through the discovery of these cultures, researchers could demonstrate that stem ...

Natural polymer-derived scaffold material and methods for production thereof

Matthias Lütolf, Peter Frey, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Hans Mattias Larsson, Elif Vardar, Kalitha Pinnagoda, Simone Allazetta, Eva-Maria Balet

The invention relates to a scaffold material comprising a carrier and embedded microbeads for use in tissue engineering applications such as soft tissues therapeutic treatment. The scaffold provides a short-term bulking effect coupled with a long-term func ...

Capturing epidermal stemness

Andrea Zaffalon

Regenerative medicine aims to replace or regenerate tissues or organs to re-establish their normal function. In 1975, Rheinwald and Green developed a technique to isolate and amplify epidermal stem cells. Their discovery led to the development of cultured ...

Scleractinian coral morphogenesis

Agathe Eliette Marie Lecointe

Metamorphosis is a crucial step in the life cycle of a scleractinian coral: The swimming coral larva, the planula, settles, and metamorphoses into a sessile calcifying primary polyp, which subsequently grows into an adult colony. Importantly, morphogenesis ...
