Low oxygen tension increased fibronectin fragment induced catabolic activities--response prevented with biomechanical signals.
(2013-10-25)
INTRODUCTION: The inherent low oxygen tension in normal cartilage has implications on inflammatory conditions associated with osteoarthritis (OA). Biomechanical signals will additionally contribute to changes in tissue ...
The effects of dynamic compression on the development of cartilage grafts engineered using bone marrow and infrapatellar fat pad derived stem cells.
(2015-09-21)
Bioreactors that subject cell seeded scaffolds or hydrogels to biophysical stimulation have been used to improve the functionality of tissue engineered cartilage and to explore how such constructs might respond to the ...
Modulating gradients in regulatory signals within mesenchymal stem cell seeded hydrogels: a novel strategy to engineer zonal articular cartilage.
(2013)
Engineering organs and tissues with the spatial composition and organisation of their native equivalents remains a major challenge. One approach to engineer such spatial complexity is to recapitulate the gradients in ...
Cell-matrix interactions regulate mesenchymal stem cell response to hydrostatic pressure.
(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 ...
Comparison between direct and reverse electroporation of cells in situ: a simulation study.
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2016-03)
The discovery of the human genome has unveiled new fields of genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics, which has produced paradigm shifts on how to study disease mechanisms, wherein a current central focus is the understanding ...
Nanoscale Mapping Reveals Functional Differences in Ion Channels Populating the Membrane of Primary Cilia.
(2020-01-10)
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The primary cilium is a nanoscale membrane protrusion believed to act as a mechano-chemical sensor in a range of different cell types. Disruptions in its structure and signalling have been linked to a ...
