A preliminary study comparing the use of allogenic chondrogenic pre-differentiated and undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells for the repair of full thickness articular cartilage defects in rabbits
Havva Dashtdar,Hussin A. Rothan,Terence Tay,Raja Elina Ahmad,Razif Ali,Liang Xin Tay,Pan Pan Chong,Tunku Kamarul +7 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that the use of either MSC or CMSC produced superior healing when compared to cartilage defects that were untreated, however, both cells produced comparable treatment outcomes.

Tuneable semi-synthetic network alginate for absorptive encapsulation and controlled release of protein therapeutics.
Ariel W. Chan,Ronald J. Neufeld +1 more
TL;DR: SNAP, a new class of tuneable biomaterial, can be semi-synthesized with desired pore properties, which when applied with the absorptive encapsulation technique, can serve as a technology platform for oral delivery of biomolecules with wide range of molecular sizes.

Dual delivery of VEGF and MCP-1 to support endothelial cell transplantation for therapeutic vascularization.
Steven M. Jay,Benjamin R. Shepherd,Jillian W. Andrejecsk,Themis R. Kyriakides,Jordan S. Pober,W. Mark Saltzman +5 more
TL;DR: Combined delivery of VEGF and MCP-1 increased functional vessel formation from transplanted EC and also led to a higher number of smooth muscle cell-invested vessels than did EC therapy alone, suggesting a potential benefit of combined delivery of M CP-1 and V EGF from EC-containing hydrogels as a strategy for therapeutic vascularization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular therapies for liver replacement.
Clare Selden,Humphrey Hodgson +1 more
TL;DR: In vivo tissue engineering involves isolated liver cell transplantation into the liver and/or other ectopic sites and in vitro tissue engineering, using an extracorporeal hepatic support system or bioartificial liver, which may overcome problems associated with xenogeneic cells.
