The application of plastic compression to modulate fibrin hydrogel mechanical properties.
Haugh, MG; Thorpe, SD; Vinardell, T; Buckley, CT; Kelly, DJ (2012-12)The inherent biocompatibility of fibrin hydrogels makes them an attractive material for use in a wide range of tissue engineering applications. Despite this, their relatively low stiffness and high compliance limits their ... -
Cell-matrix interactions regulate mesenchymal stem cell response to hydrostatic pressure.
Steward, AJ; Thorpe, SD; Vinardell, T; Buckley, CT; Wagner, DR; Kelly, DJ (2012-07)Both hydrostatic pressure (HP) and cell-matrix interactions have independently been shown to regulate the chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis ...
