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 ...
Controlling alginate gel formation by diffusion of Ca ions through a filter barrier, a layer-by-layer deposition technique with resolution on the size scale of a single cell is presented. It gives the possibility of exposing cells under biocompatible condi ...
For tissue engineering, several cell types and tissues have been proposed as starting material. Allogenic skin products available for therapeutic usage are mostly developed with cell culture and with foreskin tissue of young individuals. Fetal skin cells o ...
In this thesis, the potential use of fetal bone cells for tissue engineering was evaluated. At first, fetal bone cells were characterized in vitro regarding their proliferation rate, the induction of their osteoblastic phenotype, and their antigenicity. Th ...
A review. New generations of synthetic biomaterials are being developed at a rapid pace for use as three-dimensional extracellular microenvironments to mimic the regulatory characteristics of natural extracellular matrixes (ECMs) and ECM-bound growth facto ...
