Use of Polyethylene Glycol Coatings for Optical Fibre Humidity Sensing
Humidity induced change in the refractive index and thickness of the polyethylene glycol (PEG) coatings are in situ investigated for a range from 10 to 95%, using an optical waveguide spectroscopic technique. It is experimentally demonstrated that, upon humidity change, the optical and swelling characteristics of the PEG coatings can be employed to build a plastic fibre optic humidity sensor. T...
متن کاملChemically defined sequential culture media for TH+ cell derivation from human embryonic stem cells.
During the past few years several differentiation protocols to derive midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons from human embryonic stem (hES) cells have been developed, but the production of sufficient amounts of the 'right' therapeutic DA cells has not yet been accomplished. The aim of this study was to efficiently generate tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive cells in vitro from our hES cells using a ch...
متن کاملChemically defined polyethylene glycol siRNA conjugates with enhanced gene silencing effect
The therapeutic application of siRNA suffers from poor bioavailability caused by rapid degradation and elimination. The covalent attachment of PEG is a universal concept to increase molecular size and enhance the pharmacokinetic properties of biomacromolecules. We devised a facile approach for attachment of PEG molecules with a defined molecular weight, and successful purification of the result...
متن کاملSurface-engineered substrates for improved human pluripotent stem cell culture under fully defined conditions.
The current gold standard for the culture of human pluripotent stem cells requires the use of a feeder layer of cells. Here, we develop a spatially defined culture system based on UV/ozone radiation modification of typical cell culture plastics to define a favorable surface environment for human pluripotent stem cell culture. Chemical and geometrical optimization of the surfaces enables control...
متن کاملSynthetic Surface for Expansion of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Xeno-Free, Chemically Defined Culture Conditions
Human mesenchymal stem cells (HMSCS) possess three properties of great interest for the development of cell therapies and tissue engineering: multilineage differentiation, immunomodulation, and production of trophic factors. Efficient ex vivo expansion of hMSCs is a challenging requirement for large scale production of clinical grade cells. Low-cost, robust, scalable culture methods using chemi...
