Controlled-size embryoid body formation in concave microwell arrays.
Embryonic stem (ES) cells hold great potential as a renewable cell source for regenerative medicine and cell-based therapy. Despite the potential of ES cells, conventional stem cell culture methods do not enable the control of the microenvironment. A number of microscale engineering approaches have been recently developed to control the extracellular microenvironment and to direct embryonic ste...
متن کاملMicrowell-mediated control of embryoid body size regulates embryonic stem cell fate via differential expression of WNT5a and WNT11.
Recently, various approaches for controlling the embryonic stem (ES) cell microenvironment have been developed for regulating cellular fate decisions. It has been reported that the lineage specific differentiation could be affected by the size of ES cell colonies and embryoid bodies (EBs). However, much of the underlying biology has not been well elucidated. In this study, we used microengineer...
متن کاملImmunogenicity of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)
Covalent attachment of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to active proteins (PEGylation technology) successfully generated several FDA-approved compounds, including four blockbusters, which are considered non immunogenic. However, PEG antibodies and intolerance to the infusion were reported in some patients with gout treated with pegloticase, a PEG-uricase recently approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Ad...
متن کاملComparison between polyethylene glycol (PEG)- and polyethylenimine (PEI)-mediated transformation of Aspergillus nidulans Authors
Genetic transformation of many filamentous fungi is carried out by a protocol that utilizes polyethylene glycol (PEG) and calcium ion (Ca). This method has remained practically unchanged for more than 20 years, but the roles these molecules play are not definitively understood. To gain a better understanding, we have compared PEG transformation to a protocol using polyethylenimine (PEI) that is...
متن کاملForeign Body Response to Intracortical Microelectrodes Is Not Altered with Dip-Coating of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)
Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is a frequently used polymer for neural implants due to its biocompatible property. As a follow-up to our recent study that used PEG for stiffening flexible neural probes, we have evaluated the biological implications of using devices dip-coated with PEG for chronic neural implants. Mice (wild-type and CX3CR1-GFP) received bilateral implants within the sensorimotor c...
