Hydrogels with tunable stress relaxation regulate stem cell fate and activity

TL;DR: It is found that cell spreading, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are all enhanced in cells cultured in gels with faster relaxation, highlighting stress relaxation as a key characteristic of cell-ECM interactions and as an important design parameter of biomaterials for cell culture.

Matrix elasticity of void-forming hydrogels controls transplanted-stem-cell-mediated bone formation

TL;DR: By developing injectable, void-forming hydrogels that decouple pore formation from elasticity, this work shows that mesenchymal stem cell osteogenesis in vitro, and cell deployment in vitro and in vivo, can be controlled by modifying the hydrogel's elastic modulus or its chemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Substrate Stress-Relaxation Regulates Scaffold Remodeling and Bone Formation In Vivo.

TL;DR: It is suggested that substrate stress relaxation can mediate scaffold remodeling and thus tissue formation, giving tissue engineers a new parameter for optimizing bone regeneration.

Gelatin-Based Microcarriers as Embryonic Stem Cell Delivery System in Bone Tissue Engineering: An in-Vitro Study

TL;DR: Mouse embryonic stem cells cultured on commercially available biodegradable macroporous microcarriers retained their pluripotency for up to 14 days when cultured in medium supplemented with leukemia inhibitory factor, and viability of the cells was optimal when gelatin was omitted and when using triacetin instead of HEMA.
