Journal ArticleDOI

Hypoxia enhances proliferation and tissue formation of human mesenchymal stem cells.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that oxygen concentrations affected many aspects of stem-cell physiology, including growth and in vitro development, and may be a critical parameter during expansion and differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of hypoxia on human mesenchymal stem cell expansion and plasticity in 3D constructs

TL;DR: Results strongly indicate that oxygen tension is a key parameter that influences the in vitro characteristics of hMSC and their development into tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preparation and histological evaluation of biomimetic three-dimensional hydroxyapatite/chitosan-gelatin network composite scaffolds

TL;DR: Histological and immunohistochemical staining and scanning electron microscopy observation indicated that the osteoblasts attached to and proliferated on the scaffolds, and the cell/scaffold constructs had good biomineralization effect after 3 weeks in culture.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increasing Mechanical Strength of Gelatin Hydrogels by Divalent Metal Ion Removal

TL;DR: Results showed that the removal of divalent metal ions significantly impacted the formation of the gelatin network and the purified gelatin hydrogels had less interactions between gelatin molecules and form larger-pore network which enabled EDC to penetrate and crosslink the gel more efficiently.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodegradable Metals for Cardiovascular Stents: from Clinical Concerns to Recent Zn‐Alloys

TL;DR: A third class of metallic bioabsorbable materials that are based on zinc has been introduced in the last few years and demonstrates the potential for an absorbable metallic stent with the mechanical and biodegradation characteristics required for optimal stent performance.
