Biomimetic interfacial interpenetrating polymer networks control neural stem cell behavior.
Highly-regulated signals surrounding stem cells, such as growth factors at specific concentrations and matrix mechanical stiffness, have been implicated in modulating stem cell proliferation and maturation. However, tight control of proliferation and lineage commitment signals is rarely achieved during growth outside the body, since the spectrum of biochemical and mechanical signals that govern...
متن کاملInterpenetrating Polymer Networks (IPN
Interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) refers to a type of elastomer in which two chemically distinct networks coexist, ideally having a structure that is homogeneous down to the segmental level [1]. The two components are present as co-continuous, interlocking networks (catenanes). This co-continuity can be achieved by kinetic retention of an initially miscible mixture of the monomers used to ...

متن کاملFuel Cell Voltage Control for Load Variations Using Neural Networks
In the near future the use of distributed generation systems will play a big role in the production ofelectrical energy. One of the most common types of DG technologies , fuel cells , which can be connectedto the national grid by power electronic converters or work alone Studies the dynamic behavior andstability of the power grid is of crucial importance. These studies need to know the exact mo...
متن کاملControl of Neural Stem Cell Survival by Electroactive Polymer Substrates
Stem cell function is regulated by intrinsic as well as microenvironmental factors, including chemical and mechanical signals. Conducting polymer-based cell culture substrates provide a powerful tool to control both chemical and physical stimuli sensed by stem cells. Here we show that polypyrrole (PPy), a commonly used conducting polymer, can be tailored to modulate survival and maintenance of ...
