Confined compression of collagen hydrogels.
Reconstituted collagen hydrogels are often used for in vitro studies of cell-matrix interaction and as scaffolds for tissue engineering. Understanding the mechanical and transport behaviours of collagen hydrogels is therefore extremely important, albeit difficult due to their very high water content (typically >99.5%). In the present study the mechanical behaviour of collagen hydrogels in confi...
متن کاملLabel-free mapping of microstructural organisation in self-aligning cellular collagen hydrogels using image correlation spectroscopy.
UNLABELLED Hydrogels have emerged as promising biomaterials for regenerative medicine. Despite major advances, tissue engineers have faced challenges in studying the complex dynamics of cell-mediated hydrogel remodelling. Second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy has been a pivotal tool for non-invasive visualization of collagen type I hydrogels. By taking into account the typical polarizatio...
متن کاملPatterning network structure to spatially control cellular remodeling and stem cell fate within 3-dimensional hydrogels.
The spatially directed 3-dimensional (3D) remodeling of synthetic materials may be useful to regionally control cell behavior. In this work, we developed a process to synthesize hyaluronic acid hydrogels using multiple modes of crosslinking applied sequentially; a primary addition reaction to introduce protease degradable peptide crosslinks, then a UV light-induced secondary radical reaction (e...
متن کاملFibroblast Phenotype within Concentrated Collagen Hydrogels
Introduction Normal collagen hydrogels (NCH), developed by Bell and co-workers, associated with sheets of keratinocytes are already used as skin temporary coverage (Apligraf ®). Nevertheless, NCH have several drawbacks such as extensive collagen hydrogel contraction, inhibition of cell growth and poor mechanical properties. In addition, cell death by apoptosis is observed. Because of their char...
متن کاملBreakdown of cell-collagen networks through collagen remodeling.
Collagen model tissues, consisting of cells embedded in a collagen matrix at different concentrations (of cells and collagen) were analyzed. Rheological properties were measured and complementary confocal microscopy analysis carried out. An important feature, corresponding to the breakdown of the collagen network (i.e., decrease in network elasticity) was observed at high collagen concentration...
