From Nano to Macro: Multiscale Materials for Improved Stem Cell Culturing and Analysis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stem cells respond to nanoscale, microscale, and macroscale cues, such as matrix, growth factors, and niche organization, which are difficult to physiologically recapitulate in culture. We discuss how utilizing bioengineering approaches to manipulate and integrate spatiotemporal cues across these discrete length scales can improve traditional methods for controlling cell fate.

Dynamics of Macro–Nano Mechanical Systems; Fixed Interfacial Multiscale Method
The continuum based approaches don’t provide the correct physics in atomic scales. On the other hand, the molecular based approaches are limited by the length and simulated process time. As an attractive alternative, this paper proposes the Fixed Interfacial Multiscale Method (FIMM) for computationally and mathematically efficient modeling of solid structures. The approach is applicable to mult...
متن کاملEffect of Different Concentrations of Forskolin Along with Mature Granulosa Cell Co-Culturing on Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation into Germ-Like Cells
Background: Germ cell development processes are influenced by soluble factors and intercellular signaling events between them and the neighboring somatic cells. More insight into the molecular biology of the germ cell development from embryonic stem (ES) cells and investigation of appropriate factors, specifically those targeting differentiation process, is of great importance. In this study, w...
متن کاملDevelopment of Hierarchical Multiscale Method and Its Applications to the Characterization of Microstructure Effect
The mechanical properties of materials are inherently multiscale, depending on phenomena at all length scales. Hence, multiscale modeling is a huge scientific challenge as well as a critical necessity for successful manipulation of material properties. This proposed research aims to investigate the microstructure (i.e., grain and inclusion) effect on the material properties especially for the s...
متن کاملEpidermal homeostasis and radiation responses in a multiscale tissue modeling framework.
The surface of the skin is lined with several thin layers of epithelial cells that are maintained throughout a lifetime by a small population of stem cells. High dose radiation exposures could injure and deplete the underlying proliferative cells and induce cutaneous radiation syndrome. In this work we propose a multiscale computational model for skin epidermal dynamics that links phenomena occ...
متن کاملAn Efficient In Vitro Culture System To Amplify Spermatogonia Stem Cell Markers
Background: Proliferation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) can be a treatment for infertile men. Here, we design an efficient method based on culturing in the presence of Sertoli cells to improve the expression level of some specific spermatogonia stem cell genes during two weeks post culture. Materials and Methods: Cells were derived from neonatal (2-6 days old) mice testes and were cultur...
