Abstract Advances in skin tissue engineering have promoted the development of artificial substitutes to treat large burns and other major loss conditions. However, one main drawbacks bioengineered is need obtain a amount viable epithelial cells short periods time, making biofabrication process challenging slow. Enhancing cell cultures by using mesenchymal stem secretome can favor scalability manufacturing processes for skin. The effects three different types derived from human cells, e.g....

The aim of this study was to generate novel models bioartificial human oral mucosa with increased vascularization potential for future use as an advanced therapies medicinal product, by using different vascular and mesenchymal stem cell sources.Oral substitutes could contribute the clinical treatment complex diseases affecting cavity. Although several artificial have been described, biointegration is a major issue that be favored generation once grafted in vivo.Three types cells (MSCs) were...

Wharton’s jelly stem cells (WJSC) from the human umbilical cord (UC) are one of most promising mesenchymal (MSC) in tissue engineering (TE) and advanced therapies. The cell niche is a key element for both, MSC fully differentiated tissues, to preserve their unique features. basement membrane (BM) an essential structure during embryonic development adult tissues. Epithelial BMs well-known, but similar structures present other histological structures, such as peripheral nerve fibers, myocytes...

Purpose: We carried out a histological characterization analysis of the stromal layer human heterotypic cornea substitutes generated with extra-corneal cells to determine their putative usefulness in tissue engineering. Methods: Human bioartificial corneas were using nanostructured fibrin-agarose biomaterials corneal immersed within. To generate heterotypical corneas, umbilical cord Wharton's jelly stem (HWJSC) cultured on surface obtain an epithelial-like layer. These compared control...

Purpose: Obtaining sufficient numbers of cells in a short time is major goal cell culturing therapy and tissue engineering. However, current bidimensional (2D) culture methods are associated to several limitations, including low efficiency the loss key differentiation markers on cultured cells. Methods: In present work, we have designed novel biofabrication method based three-dimensional (3D) system (FIBRIAGAR-3D). Human Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stromal (HWJSC) were 3D using 100%, 75%,...

Critical defects of the mandibular bone are very difficult to manage with currently available materials and technology. In present work, we generated acellular cellular substitutes for human by tissue engineering using nanostructured fibrin-agarose biomaterials, without adipose-tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells differentiated osteogenic lineage inductive media. Then, these were evaluated in an immunodeficient animal model severely critical damage order assess potential bioartificial...

Neural Invasion (NI) is a key pathological feature of cancer in the colonization distant tissues, and its underlying biological mechanisms are still scarcely known. The complex interactions between nerve tumor cells, along with stroma, make it difficult to reproduce this pathology effective study models, which turn has limited understanding NI pathogenesis. In study, we have designed three-dimensional model squamous cell carcinoma combining human epidermoid cells (hECCs) complete peripheral...
