Soft bioengineered surfaces offer a route towards modulating the tissue responses to chronically implanted devices and may enhance their functionality. In this communication we fabricate microtopographically rich and mechanically compliant silicone surface ...
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are a source of multi-ton quantities of protein pharmaceuticals. They are, however, immortalized cells, characterized by a high degree of genetic and phenotypic diversity. As is known for any biological system, this divers ...
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) are multipotent stem cells that are predominantly obtained from the bone marrow. These cells have a high ability to differentiate into a multitude of cell types, which are very attractive for tissue engineering and cell therapy ...
KRAB-ZFPs constitute the largest family of transcription factors (TFs) encoded by the mouse genome and are known to interact with the co-repressor KAP1. KRAB/KAP1-mediated regulation is essential for several development- and ESC- specific functions, in par ...
Extracellular mimetic hydrogels formed from peptide crosslinkers and polyethylene glycol monomers permit cell-controlled invasion. The use of matrix metalloproteinase specific peptides might further allow for selective control of different cell-type invasi ...
Droplet microfluidic technology is applied for the high-throughput synthesis via Michael-type addition of reactive, micrometer-sized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels (“microgels”) with precisely controlled dimension and physicochemical properties. A v ...
More than a decade ago, plasticity suddenly became a fashionable topic with overemphasized implications for regenerative medicine. The concept of plasticity is supported by old transplantation work, at least for embryonic cells, and metaplasia is a classic ...
Since stem cells have the unique ability to produce more of themselves (i.e. to "self-renew") and to generate specialized tissue cells, they are an ideal source of cells for regenerative medicine and in vitro tissue models. In order to fully exploit this p ...
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 ...
The mechanical coupling between adherent cells and their substrates is a major driver of downstream behavior. This coupling relies on the formation of adhesion sites and actin bundles. How cells generate these elements remains only partly understood. A pot ...
