Spatially directed guidance of stem cell population migration by immobilized patterns of growth factors.
We investigated how engineered gradients of exogenous growth factors, immobilized to an extracellular matrix material, influence collective guidance of stem cell populations over extended time (>1 day) and length (>1 mm) scales in vitro. Patterns of low-to-high, high-to-low, and uniform concentrations of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor were inkjet printed at precise l...
متن کاملRectified Cell Migration on Saw-Like Micro-Elastically Patterned Hydrogels with Asymmetric Gradient Ratchet Teeth
To control cell motility is one of the essential technologies for biomedical engineering. To establish a methodology of the surface design of elastic substrate to control the long-range cell movements, here we report a sophisticated cell culture hydrogel with a micro-elastically patterned surface that allows long-range durotaxis. This hydrogel has a saw-like pattern with asymmetric gradient rat...
متن کاملBlood Cell Growth Factors
SUMMARY Growth factors or colony stimulating factors (CSFs)recently became the subject of headlines around the world. Many published articles in the last few years indicate that the CSFs can correct anemia and pancytopenia of the great majority of patients. Recombinant CSFs are available to the many scientific and therapeutic centers in the U.S.A, Europe and Japan these days. Erythrop oieti...
متن کاملChemical tools for studying directed cell migration.
Cell migration is required for many physiological processes, including wound repair and embryogenesis, and relies on precisely orchestrated events that are regulated in a spatially and temporally controlled manner. Most traditional approaches for studying migration, such as genetic methods or the use of chemical inhibitors, do not offer insight into these important components of protein functio...
متن کاملScaling of the surface migration length in nanoscale patterned growth
Scaling of the surface migration length in nanoscale patterned growth NPG is investigated as a function of the lateral dimension LM of a mask film fabricated on a substrate for selective epitaxy. By reducing LM below the surface migration length, any nucleation on the mask is avoided through the evaporation and surface out-diffusion of adatoms. The upper limit of LM for NPG LM,c corresponds to ...
