Chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells on glycosaminoglycan-mimetic peptide nanofibers
(American Chemical Society, 2016)Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are important extracellular matrix components of cartilage tissue and provide biological signals to stem cells and chondrocytes for development and functional regeneration of cartilage. Among their ... -
Contact guidance enhances the quality of a tissue engineered corneal stroma
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2008)Corneal stroma is a very complex structure, composed of 200 lamellae of oriented collagen fibers. This highly complex nature of cornea is known to be important for its transparency and mechanical integrity. Thus, an ... -
Cornea engineering on polyester carriers
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2006)In this study, biodegradable polyester based carriers were designed for tissue engineering of the epithelial and the stromal layers of the cornea, and the final construct was tested in vitro. In the construction of the ... -
Diabetic wound regeneration using heparin-mimetic peptide amphiphile gel in db/db mice
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017)There is an urgent need for more efficient treatment of chronic wounds in diabetic patients especially with a high risk of leg amputation. Biomaterials capable of presenting extracellular matrix-mimetic signals may assist ... -
Glycosaminoglycan-Mimetic Signals Direct the Osteo/Chondrogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in a Three-Dimensional Peptide Nanofiber Extracellular Matrix Mimetic Environment
(American Chemical Society, 2016-02)Recent efforts in bioactive scaffold development focus strongly on the elucidation of complex cellular responses through the use of synthetic systems. Designing synthetic extracellular matrix (ECM) materials must be based ...
