Optimizing seeding and culture methods to engineer smooth muscle tissue on biodegradable polymer matrices.
The engineering of functional smooth muscle (SM) tissue is critical if one hopes to successfully replace the large number of tissues containing an SM component with engineered equivalents. This study reports on the effects of SM cell (SMC) seeding and culture conditions on the cellularity and composition of SM tissues engineered using biodegradable matrices (5 x 5 mm, 2-mm thick) of polyglycoli...
متن کاملCombining chondrocytes and smooth muscle cells to engineer hybrid soft tissue constructs.
Engineering new tissues using cell transplantation may provide a valuable tool for reconstructive surgery applications. Chondrocyte transplantation in particular has been successfully used to engineer new tissue masses due to the low metabolic requirements of these cells. However, the engineered cartilaginous tissue is too rigid for many soft tissue applications. We propose that hybrid tissue e...
متن کاملFine Structure of Smooth Muscle Cells Grown in Tissue Culture
The fine structure of smooth muscle cells of the embryo chicken gizzard cultured in monolayer was studied by phase-contrast optics and electron microscopy. The smooth muscle cells were irregular in shape, but tended to be elongate. The nucleus usually contained prominent nucleoli and was large in relation to the cell body. When fixed with glutaraldehyde, three different types of filaments were ...
متن کاملEngineering three-dimensional bone tissue in vitro using biodegradable scaffolds: investigating initial cell-seeding density and culture period.
New three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering have been developed throughout which bone cells grow, differentiate, and produce mineralized matrix. In this study, the percentage of cells anchoring to our polymer scaffolds as a function of initial cell seeding density was established; we then investigated bone tissue formation throughout our scaffolds as a function of initial c...
متن کاملMethods of Tissue Culture
A list, with titles, of about 120 papers by the author and his colleagues is followed by a classified list of important contributions by others in the fields discussed. Author and subject indices are given. Adventures in Respiration is not a physiological monograph in the usual sense, but rather the scientific autobiography of one of America's leaders in the physiology of respiration. The layma...
