We have previously shown that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) accelerate wound healing in a diabetic mouse model. In this study, we hypothesized adipose tissue-derived (ADSC), of greater translational potential to human therapy, improve similar extent as BMSC. vitro, the characterization and function murine ADSC BMSC well nondiabetic were evaluated by flow cytometry, cell viability, VEGF expression. vivo, biomimetic collagen scaffolds containing or used treat splinted...
The application of human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to generate vascular smooth muscle (hiPSC-VSMCs) in abundance is a promising strategy for regeneration. While hiPSC-VSMCs have already been utilized tissue-engineered grafts and disease modeling, there lack investigations exploring their therapeutic secretory factors. objective this manuscript was understand how the biophysical property collagen-based scaffold dictates changes function while developing hiPSC-VSMC-based therapy...
INTRODUCTIONWith advances in current therapies, more patients are currently surgical candidates for oncologic resections that were previously deemed unresectable due to vascular invasion. We analyzed our institution's outcomes of undergoing oncovascular resection truncal malignancies with invasion identify factors associated reconstruction complications and recurrence.METHODSA retrospective chart review all adult between January 1, 2002 June 2022 who underwent a neoplasm at Northwestern...
Despite scientific advances, vascular diseases are responsible for one third of deaths. Understanding the biology stem cells and cell therapy can mean an important advance in reducing this mortality.
