Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Macrophage Phenotype in Vascularization of Tissue Engineering Scaffolds
Kara L. Spiller,Rachel R. Anfang,Krista Spiller,Johnathan Ng,Kenneth R. Nakazawa,Jeffrey W. Daulton,Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that primary human M1 macrophages secrete the highest levels of potent angiogenic stimulators including VEGF, a chemoattractant for stabilizing pericytes and also promote anastomosis of sprouting endothelial cells in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequential delivery of immunomodulatory cytokines to facilitate the M1-to-M2 transition of macrophages and enhance vascularization of bone scaffolds
Kara L. Spiller,Kara L. Spiller,Sina Nassiri,Claire E. Witherel,Rachel R. Anfang,Johnathan Ng,Kenneth R. Nakazawa,Tony Yu,Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic +8 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that scaffolds for tissue engineering can be designed to harness the angiogenic behavior of host macrophages towards scaffold vascularization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decellularization of Human and Porcine Lung Tissues for Pulmonary Tissue Engineering
John D. O’Neill,Rachel R. Anfang,Annabelle J. Anandappa,Joseph Costa,Javanshir J. Javidfar,Holly M. Wobma,Gopal Singh,Donald O. Freytes,Mathew D. Bacchetta,Joshua R. Sonett,Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic +10 more
TL;DR: Porcine lungs can be decellularized with CHAPS to produce LECM scaffolds with properties resembling those of human lungs, for pulmonary tissue engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
pH-neutralizing esophageal irrigations as a novel mitigation strategy for button battery injury.
Rachel R. Anfang,Kris R. Jatana,Rebecca L. Linn,Keith Rhoades,Jared Fry,Ian N. Jacobs,Ian N. Jacobs +6 more
TL;DR: Common weakly acidic household beverages, viscous liquids, and Carafate® are tested for their ability to act as protective esophageal irrigations until endoscopic removal of the BB.
Journal ArticleDOI
In Response to pH-Neutralizing Esophageal Irrigations as a Novel Mitigation Strategy for Button Battery Injury.
Rachel R. Anfang,Kris R. Jatana,Rebecca L. Linn,Keith Rhoades,Jared Fry,Ian N. Jacobs,Ian N. Jacobs +6 more
TL;DR: In in vitro and in vivo animal models, both honey and Carafate had protective effects compared to controls, and these interventions are recommended in children over 12 months of age who can swallow, and the suspected or witnessed ingestion occurred within 12 hours.
