Cellular forces and matrix assembly coordinate fibrous tissue repair.
Planar in vitro models have been invaluable tools to identify the mechanical basis of wound closure. Although these models may recapitulate closure dynamics of epithelial cell sheets, they fail to capture how a wounded fibrous tissue rebuilds its 3D architecture. Here we develop a 3D biomimetic model for soft tissue repair and demonstrate that fibroblasts ensconced in a collagen matrix rapidly ...
متن کاملCell traction forces direct fibronectin matrix assembly.
Interactions between cells and the surrounding matrix are critical to the development and engineering of tissues. We have investigated the role of cell-derived traction forces in the assembly of extracellular matrix using what we believe is a novel assay that allows for simultaneous measurement of traction forces and fibronectin fibril growth at discrete cell-matrix attachment sites. NIH3T3 cel...
متن کاملReconstruction of cellular forces in fibrous biopolymer network
How cells move through 3d extracellular matrix (ECM) is of increasing interest in attempts to understand important biological processes such as cancer metastasis. Just as in motion on 2d surfaces, it is expected that experimental measurements of cell-generated forces will provide valuable information for uncovering the mechanisms of cell migration. Here, we use a lattice-based mechanical model ...
متن کاملTissue and cellular approaches to wound repair.
Tissue engineering can be defined as the use of biomaterials with or without small molecules, cells, genes, or gene products to maintain, replace, or repair organ function with the objective of correcting the underlying pathology. This new field of medicine is based on the use of engineered cells, tissues, and synthetic materials that can potentially extend and improve a patient’s life. At the ...
متن کاملThe matrix revolutions: matrix metalloproteinase, vasculogenesis, and ischemic tissue repair.
The matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family of Zinc dependent extracellular proteinases regulates development and physiologic events, including branching morphogenesis, angiogenesis, wound healing and extracellular matrix degradation. They are synthesized as secreted or transmembrane proenzymes and processed to an active form by the removal of an amino-terminal propeptide. MMP-2/Gelatinase A, as ...
