Osteosarcoma is the second leading cause of cancer-related death for children and young adults. In this study, we have subcutaneously injected-with and without matrigel-athymic mice (Fox1nu/nu) with human osteosarcoma 3AB-OS pluripotent cancer stem cells (CSCs), which we previously isolated from human osteosarcoma MG63 cells. Engrafted 3AB-OS cells were highly tumorigenic and matrigel greatly a...

This study presents a mouse model for human age-related macular degeneration (AMD) as characterized by subretinal deposit and choroidal neovascularization. Matrigel, a basement membrane extract, solidifies after implantation in tissue and can stimulate local angiogenesis. This study demonstrates the induction of neovascularization and focal retinal degeneration following subretinal Matrigel inj...

Photoactivated hypericin has a potent cytotoxic effect over a wide range of cells. However, very recently hypericin has been shown to have antitumoral and antimetastatic effects in the dark. The aim of this study was to test whether hypericin in the dark affects angiogenesis. Different in vitro assays were used to study the potential effects of this compound on key steps of angiogenesis, namely...

Alginate hydrogels have already been extensively used in cell encapsulation, but few investigations have been done to compare cell proliferation and drug response in different extracellular matrices. We previously developed a novel microfluidics approach for tumor spheroid generation and testing: a cellladen core-shell bead suitable for several days of culture, which contains growing spheroids ...
