Alginate: properties and biomedical applications

Hydrogels for biomedical applications.

Scaffolds in tissue engineering bone and cartilage.

Marrow stromal cells can be isolated from other cells in marrow by their tendency to adhere to tissue culture plastic The cells have many of the characteristics of stem cells for tissues that can roughly be defined as mesenchymal, because they can be differentiated in culture into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, adipocytes, and even myoblasts Therefore, marrow stromal cells present an intriguing model for examining the differentiation of stem cells Also, they have several characteristics that make them potentially useful for cell and gene therapy

Marrow Stromal Cells as Stem Cells for Nonhematopoietic Tissues

Hydrogels for tissue engineering: scaffold design variables and applications.

A biodegradable nanofiber scaffold by electrospinning and its potential for bone tissue engineering.

Microscale technologies are emerging as powerful tools for tissue engineering and biological studies. In this review, we present an overview of these technologies in various tissue engineering applications, such as for fabricating 3D microfabricated scaffolds, as templates for cell aggregate formation, or for fabricating materials in a spatially regulated manner. In addition, we give examples of the use of microscale technologies for controlling the cellular microenvironment in vitro and for performing high-throughput assays. The use of microfluidics, surface patterning, and patterned cocultures in regulating various aspects of cellular microenvironment is discussed, as well as the application of these technologies in directing cell fate and elucidating the underlying biology. Throughout this review, we will use specific examples where available and will provide trends and future directions in the field.
