Electrospinning: A Fascinating Method for the Preparation of Ultrathin Fibers
TL;DR: Electrospinning is a highly versatile method to process solutions or melts, mainly of polymers, into continuous fibers with diameters ranging from a few micrometers to a few nanometers, applicable to virtually every soluble or fusible polymer.
Journal ArticleDOI
The extracellular matrix at a glance
TL;DR: The extracellular matrix is the non-cellular component present within all tissues and organs, and provides not only essential physical scaffolding for the cellular constituents but also initiates crucial biochemical and biomechanical cues that are required for tissue development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrospinning of polymeric nanofibers for tissue engineering applications: a review.
TL;DR: Electrospinning is examined by providing a brief description of the theory behind the process, examining the effect of changing the process parameters on fiber morphology, and discussing the potential applications and impacts of electrospinning on the field of tissue engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomimetic materials for tissue engineering.
TL;DR: Current biomimetic materials approaches in tissue engineering include synthesis to achieve certain compositions or properties similar to those of the extracellular matrix, novel processing technologies to achieve structural features mimicking the ext racellular matrix on various levels, and biologic delivery strategies to recapitulate a signaling cascade or developmental/wound healing program.

Role of cell shape in growth control
Judah Folkman,Anne Moscona +1 more
TL;DR: Cell shape was found to be tightly coupled to DNA synthesis and growth in nontransformed cells, suggesting a mechanism that is important in growth control of mammalian cells, and providing a more fundamental interpretation of such phenomena as density dependent inhibition of cell growth and anchorage dependence.
