Laser printing based on laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) is a new biofabrication technique for the arrangement of biological materials or living cells in well-defined patterns. In current study, skin cell lines (fibroblasts/keratinocytes) and human mesenchymal stem (hMSC) were chosen laser experiments due to their high potential regeneration application possibilities therapy.

Bone marrow (BM)-derived stem cells with their various functions and characteristics have become a well-recognized source for the cell-based therapies. However, knowledge on therapeutic potential shortage cross-link between distinct BM-derived cells, primed after onset of myocardial infarction (MI), seems to be still rudimentary. Therefore, post-examination such hematopoietic CD133+ mesenchymal CD271+ was object present study.The effects respective mononuclear alone as well in co-culture...
Abstract Different subtypes of bone marrow-derived stem cells are characterized by varying functionality and activity after transplantation into the infarcted heart. Improvement cell therapeutics requires deep knowledge about mechanisms that mediate benefits treatment. Here, we demonstrated co-transplantation mesenchymal (MSCs) hematopoietic (HSCs) led to enhanced synergistic effects on cardiac remodeling. While HSCs were associated with blood vessel formation, MSCs found possess...
Ischemic heart failure still displays the highest mortality. An early boost of intracardiac regenerative key mechanisms and angiogenetic niche signaling in cardiac mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could improve myocardial infarction (MI) healing. Epicardial erythropoietin (EPO, 300U kg−1) was compared with intraperitoneal intramyocardial EPO treatments after acute MI rats (n=156). Real-time PCR confocal microscopy revealed epicardial treatment enhanced indicators (SDF-1, CXCR-4, CD34, Bcl-2,...
Cellular inflammation following acute myocardial infarction has gained increasing importance as a target mechanism for therapeutic approaches. We sought to investigate the effect of syngeneic cardiac induced cells (CiC) on using 18F-FDG PET (Positron emission tomography)-based imaging and resulting pump function magnetic resonance (CMR) in mouse model infarction. Mice underwent permanent left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) ligation inducing an inflammatory response. The therapy...
CD133+ stem cells represent a promising subpopulation for innovative cell-based therapies in cardiovascular regeneration. Several clinical trials have shown remarkable beneficial effects following their intramyocardial transplantation. Yet, the purification of is typically performed centralized clean room facilities using semi-automatic manufacturing processes based on magnetic cell sorting (MACS®). However, this requires time-consuming and cost-intensive logistics.CD133+ were purified from...
The immune response is a crucial factor for mediating the benefit of cardiac cell therapies. Our previous research showed that cardiomyocyte transplantation alters and, when combined with short-term pharmacological CCR2 inhibition, resulted in diminished functional benefit. However, specific role innate cells, especially macrophages on outcome transplantation, unclear. We compared cellular, molecular, and following wildtype T cell- B cell-deficient Rag2del mice. inflammatory was assessed...
Cardiac mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could stimulate cell-specific regenerative mechanisms after myocardial infarction (MI) depending on spatial origin, distribution, and niche regulation. We aimed at identifying isolating tissue-specific cardiac MSCs that contribute to regeneration.Following permanent ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery in rats (n = 16), early tissues mononuclear (MNCs) were analyzed by immunohistology, confocal laser scanning microscopy, flow...
Background: Ventricular arrhythmias (VA) are a common cause of sudden death after myocardial infarction (MI). Therefore, developing new therapeutic methods for the prevention and treatment VA is prime importance. Methods: Human bone marrow derived CD271+ mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) were tested their antiarrhythmic effect. This was done through development novel mouse model using an immunocompromised Rag2−/− γc−/− strain subjected to “infarction-reinfarction”. The mice underwent first...

CD117(+) stem cell (SC) based therapy is considered an alternative therapeutic option for terminal heart disease. However, controversies exist on the effects of SC implantation. In particular, link between function and angiotensin-II-type-2 receptor (AT2R) after MI continuously discussed. We therefore asked whether 1) AT2R stimulation influences properties in vitro and, 2) which can be ascribed to vivo.We approached with Angiotensin II while simultaneously blocking its opponent AT1 Losartan....
