Human osteoblasts within soft peptide hydrogels promote mineralisation in vitro
Biomaterials that provide three-dimensional support networks for the culture of cells are being developed for a wide range of tissue engineering applications including the regeneration of bone. This study explores the potential of the versatile ionic-complementary peptide, FEFEFKFK, for such a purpose as this peptide spontaneously self-assembles into β-sheet-rich fibres that subsequently self-a...
متن کاملAdvanced alginate-based hydrogels
The search for suitable three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds analogous to the natural extracellular matrices is a central task in the field of tissue engineering (TE). These scaffolds should deliver cells to the desired site in the patient’s body supporting the formation of new tissue [1]. Various hydrogels have recently been used to mimic the extracellular matrix of several tissues; however the ad...
متن کاملEmbryonic fibroblasts enable the culture of primary ovarian follicles within alginate hydrogels.
Hydrogel-encapsulating culture systems support the consistent growth of ovarian follicles from various species, such as mouse, non-human primate, and human; however, further innovations are required for the efficient production of quality oocytes from early-stage follicles. In this report, we investigated the coculture of mouse ovarian follicles with mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), commonly...
متن کامل3D Cell Culture in Alginate Hydrogels
This review compiles information regarding the use of alginate, and in particular alginate hydrogels, in culturing cells in 3D. Knowledge of alginate chemical structure and functionality are shown to be important parameters in design of alginate-based matrices for cell culture. Gel elasticity as well as hydrogel stability can be impacted by the type of alginate used, its concentration, the choi...
متن کاملComposite alginate hydrogels: An innovative approach for the controlled release of hydrophobic drugs.
We present an innovative methodology for the sustained delivery of hydrophobic drugs using composite hydrogels, prepared by embedding oil-in-water microemulsions in hydrophilic hydrogels. The hydrophobic nature of the microemulsion core enhances the solubilization of hydrophobic drugs, while the crosslinked matrix could be readily used as a solid controlled delivery vehicle. A microemulsion was...
