Bioengineering approaches to emulate the stem cell niche

Sylke Höhnel

Stem cell therapies hold tremendous potential for tissue and organ regeneration. Yet, there remains significant need for better ex vivo culture and manipulation methods. On the one hand, many tissue-specific stem cells cannot be propagated without causing ...

Capturing Cell-Cell Interactions via SNAP-tag and CLIP-tag Technology

Matthias Lütolf

Juxtacrine or contact-dependent signaling is a major form of cell communication in multicellular organisms. The involved cell-cell and cell-extracellular-matrix (ECM) interactions are crucial for the organization and maintenance of tissue architecture and ...

Cell shapes and patterns as quantitative indicators of tissue stress in the plant epidermis

Sangwoo Kim

In a confluent, single-cell tissue layer, we show that cell shapes and statistics correlate directly with the tissue’s mechanical properties, described by an energy functional with generic interfacial terms only. Upon increasing the cohesive component of t ...

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 ...

Artificial three-dimensional niches deconstruct pancreas development in vitro

Matthias Lütolf, Filippo De Franceschi, Anne Grapin-Botton, Adrian Ranga, Samy Gobaa, Chiara Greggio

In the context of a cellular therapy for diabetes, methods for pancreatic progenitor expansion and subsequent differentiation into insulin-producing beta cells would be extremely valuable. Here we establish three-dimensional culture conditions in Matrigel ...

Advances in the design of macroporous polymer scaffolds for potential applications in dentistry

Philippe Renaud, Thomas Michael Braschler, Sidi Ahmed Bencherif

A paradigm shift is taking place in medicine and dentistry from using synthetic implants and tissue grafts to a tissue engineering approach that uses degradable porous three-dimensional (3D) material hydrogels integrated with cells and bioactive factors to ...

Definition of in Vitro Microenvironments to Characterize and Control Pancreatic Progenitor Expansion and Differentiation

Chiara Greggio

The pancreas plays a central role in metabolism. The exocrine pancreas, composed of ductal and acinar cells, secretes and delivers digestive enzymes into the duodenum where they contribute to food digestion. The endocrine pancreas, constituted by the islet ...

Tissue engineering of the bladder

Catharina Adelöw

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 ...
