A dissolvable biomaterial scaffold for generating aligned cell sheets
Background Generating cell sheets for tissues including cardiac, vascular, muscle, neural, and cartilage that require anisotropic aligned cell orientation relies on the use of biomaterial scaffolds. Currently available biomaterial matrices that are used as scaffolds for tissue growth remain tightly associated with the cells which can impede downstream...
Vascular regeneration using mechano-biologically conditioned mesenchymal stem cells
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an appealing cell type for use in therapies for ischemia, but clinical trials have not yielded consistent benefits for patients. In their current form, MSC therapies are ineffective and unreliable, particularly for patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction. Work done by Dr. Baker and his team overcomes many...
