Direct conversion of mouse fibroblasts to self-renewing, tripotent neural precursor cells.
We recently showed that defined sets of transcription factors are sufficient to convert mouse and human fibroblasts directly into cells resembling functional neurons, referred to as "induced neuronal" (iN) cells. For some applications however, it would be desirable to convert fibroblasts into proliferative neural precursor cells (NPCs) instead of neurons. We hypothesized that NPC-like cells may...
متن کاملNovel nanofiber-based scaffold for rotator cuff repair and augmentation.
The debilitating effects of rotator cuff tears and the high incidence of failure associated with current grafts underscore the clinical demand for functional solutions for tendon repair and augmentation. To address this challenge, we have designed a poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanofiber-based scaffold for rotator cuff tendon tissue engineering. In addition to scaffold design and character...
متن کاملDynamic reassembly of peptide RADA16 nanofiber scaffold.
Nanofiber structures of some peptides and proteins as biological materials have been studied extensively, but their molecular mechanism of self-assembly and reassembly still remains unclear. We report here the reassembly of an ionic self-complementary peptide RADARADARADARADA (RADA16-I) that forms a well defined nanofiber scaffold. The 16-residue peptide forms stable beta-sheet structure and un...
متن کاملPLGA/nHA hybrid nanofiber scaffold as a nanocargo carrier of insulin for accelerating bone tissue regeneration
The development of tissue engineering in the field of orthopedic surgery is booming. Two fields of research in particular have emerged: approaches for tailoring the surface properties of implantable materials with osteoinductive factors as well as evaluation of the response of osteogenic cells to these fabricated implanted materials (hybrid material). In the present study, we chemically grafted...
متن کاملEntrapment of migrating hippocampal neural cells in three-dimensional peptide nanofiber scaffold.
Isolation and expansion of self-renewing neural cells ex vivo are required for neural tissue repair in regenerative medicine. Neurogenesis occurs in restricted areas of postnatal mammalian brain including dentate gyrus and subventricular zone. We developed a simple method to entrap migrating neural cells (potential neuroprogenitors) from postnatal hippocampal organotypic cultures in three-dimen...
