Sliding Hydrogels with Mobile Molecular Ligands and Crosslinks as 3D Stem Cell Niche.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of a sliding hydrogel with mobile crosslinks and biochemical ligands as a 3D stem cell niche is reported. The molecular mobility of this sliding hydrogel allows stem cells to reorganize the surrounding ligands and change their morphology in 3D. Without changing matrix stiffness, sliding hydrogels support efficient stem cell differentiation toward multiple lineages including adipogenesis, chondrogenesis, and osteogenesis.

Background: Expansion and differentiation of stem cells relies on the soluble materials as well as the physical conditions of their microenvironment. Several methods have been studied in attempt to enhance the growth and differentiation rates of different adult stem cells extracted from different sources. Objectives: The purpose was to improve the three-dimensional (3D) culture condition of th...

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are promising cell sources for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Scaffolds for ESC-based tissue regeneration should provide not only structural support, but also signals capable of supporting appropriate cell differentiation and tissue development. Extracellular matrix (ECM) is a key component of the stem cell niche in vivo and can influence stem cell fat...

Objective(s): Ex vivo expansion of hematopoitic stem cells is an alternative way to increase umbilical cord blood (UCB)-CD34+ cells for bone marrow transplantation. For this purpose demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and mineralized bone allograft (MBA) as two scaffolds based on bone matrix and stem cell niche, were simultaneously used to enhance the effect of human mesenchymal pro...
متن کاملTarget molecule-responsive hydrogels designed via molecular imprinting using bisphenol A as a template.
Target molecule-responsive hydrogels with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) were prepared via molecular imprinting using bisphenol A (BPA) as a template. BPA-imprinted hydrogels showed greater shrinkage than non-imprinted hydrogels because CD ligands arranged at suitable positions formed CD-BPA-CD complexes that acted as crosslinks.
