Western blot analysis of cells encapsulated in self-assembling peptide hydrogels.
Continuous optimization of in vitro analytical techniques is ever more important, especially given the development of new materials for tissue engineering studies. In particular, isolation of cellular components for downstream applications is often hindered by the presence of biomaterials, presenting a major obstacle in understanding how cell-matrix interactions influence cell behavior. Here, w...
متن کاملSequence Effects of Self-Assembling MultiDomain Peptide Hydrogels on Encapsulated SHED Cells
Here we report three new nanofibrous, self-assembling multidomain peptide (MDP) sequences and examine the effect of sequence on the morphology and expansion of encapsulated Stem cells from Human Exfoliated Deciduous teeth (SHED). We modified our previously reported set of serine-based MDPs, changing the serine residues in the amphiphilic region to threonine. The three new threonine-based sequen...
متن کاملSustained delivery of bioactive TGF-β1 from self-assembling peptide hydrogels induces chondrogenesis of encapsulated bone marrow stromal cells.
Tissue engineering strategies for cartilage defect repair require technology for local targeted delivery of chondrogenic and anti-inflammatory factors. The objective of this study was to determine the release kinetics of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) from self-assembling peptide hydrogels, a candidate scaffold for cell transplant therapies, and stimulate chondrogenesis of encapsulated ...
متن کاملRational Molecular Design of Complementary Self-Assembling Peptide Hydrogels
Rational molecular design of self- assembling peptide-based materials that spontaneously form self-supporting hydrogels shows potential in many healthcare applications. Binary peptides based on complementary charged sequences are developed, and the use of biophysical analysis and cell-based studies highlights that the charged interactions can influence the properties of peptide materials and ul...
متن کاملFunctionalized d-form self-assembling peptide hydrogels for bone regeneration
Bone defects are very common in orthopedics, and there is great need to develop suitable bone grafts for transplantation in vivo. However, current bone grafts still encounter some limitations, including limited availability, immune rejection, poor osteoinduction and osteoconduction, poor biocompatibility and degradation properties, etc. Self-assembling peptide nanofiber scaffolds have emerged a...
