Journal ArticleDOI
Electrospun nanofibrous structure: A novel scaffold for tissue engineering
TL;DR: A novel poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) structure with a unique architecture produced by an electrospinning process has been developed for tissue-engineering applications, which acts to support and guide cell growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adult mesenchymal stem cells: characterization, differentiation, and application in cell and gene therapy
TL;DR: A model for the regulation of MSC differentiation is proposed, and recent findings regarding theregulation of M SC differentiation are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of the Apical Papilla and Its Residing Stem Cells from Human Immature Permanent Teeth: A Pilot Study
Wataru Sonoyama,Yi Liu,Takayoshi Yamaza,Rocky S. Tuan,Songlin Wang,Songtao Shi,George T.-J. Huang +6 more
TL;DR: The apical papilla is distinctive to the pulp in terms of containing less cellular and vascular components than those in the pulp, and both SCAP and DPSCs were as potent in osteo/dentinogenic differentiation as MSCs from bone marrows, whereas they were weaker in adipogenic potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of proliferative and multilineage differentiation potential of human mesenchymal stem cells derived from umbilical cord and bone marrow.
TL;DR: Gene array analysis showed that HUCPVCs also expressed Wnt signaling pathway genes that have been implicated in the regulation of MSCs, which support the applicability of HU CPVCs for cell‐based therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI
A three-dimensional nanofibrous scaffold for cartilage tissue engineering using human mesenchymal stem cells.
W-J Wan-Ju Li,Richard Tuli,Chukwuka Okafor,Assia Derfoul,Keith G. Danielson,David J. Hall,Rocky S. Tuan +6 more
TL;DR: The findings reported here suggest that the PCL NFS is a practical carrier for MSC transplantation, and represents a candidate scaffold for cell-based tissue engineering approaches to cartilage repair.
