TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the adhesive heterogeneity of a 3D scaffold could regulate not only mesenchymal stem cell attachment but also cell behavior in the absence of soluble growth factors.

TL;DR: It is proposed that defective intercellular adhesion contributes to uncontrolled cSCC growth by preventing inhibition of YAP/WBP2, and YAP and WPB2 are upregulated in actively proliferating cells of mouse and human epidermis and cS CC, and downregulated during terminal differentiation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the preparation of porous polymeric scaffolds via polymerization of the oil phase in high internal phase water-in-oil-emulsions using amphiphilic block copolymers.

TL;DR: Small feature size was the most important determinant of pluripotency, followed by high wave number and high feature density, and this approach facilitates the design of substrates for optimal human iPSC expansion, but also, potentially, identification of topographies with other desirable characteristics, such as promoting differentiation.

TL;DR: The synthesis and characterization of porous foams prepared by high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) templating using amphiphilic copolymers that act as surfactants during the HIPE process are reported.
