Growing number of musculoskeletal defects increases the demand for engineered tendon. Our aim was to find an efficient strategy produce tendon-like matrix in vitro. To allow differentiation human adipose stem cells (hASCs) toward tendon tissue, we tested different medium compositions, biomaterials, and scaffold structures preliminary tests. This is first study report that supplementation with 50 ng/mL growth factor-5 (GDF-5) 280 μM l-ascorbic acid are essential tenogenic hASCs. Tenogenic...
Abstract Lack of bone grafts appeals for augmentation solutions. We aimed at osteogenic differentiation human adipose stem cells (hASCs) and microvascularization in coculture with umbilical vein endothelial (HUVECs) embedded three‐dimensional (3D) gellan gum (GG) collagen type I (COL) hydrogel mixture. compared growth medium‐2 (EGM‐2) bioactive glass extract‐based medium (BaG EM‐OM) vascularized bone‐like graft development vitro . Cell viability, cell number, gene expression were analyzed....
This article proposes the coupling of recombinant protein avidin to polysaccharide gellan gum create a modular hydrogel substrate for 3D cell culture and tissue engineering. Avidin is capable binding biotin, thus biotinylated compounds can be tethered polymer network improve response. The successfully conjugated remains functional as shown with fluorescence titration electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Self-standing hydrogels were formed using bioamines calcium chloride, yielding long-term stability...
