Enhanced Cell Sheet Technology for Cartilage Repair
INTRODUCTION Cartilage is one of the most important bodily components in allowing one to walk painlessly. It is the connective tissue in your joints, providing smooth articulations and minimalizing friction between bones. Injuries to this tissue are very common and can be detrimental if not treated, due to its lack of intrinsic healing ability. There exist various known causes of cartilage inju...
متن کاملBone engineering by cell sheet technology to repair mandibular defects
Effectiveness of bone engineering by cell sheet technology to repair canine mandibular injuries was investigated. Cell sheets were produced from canine stem cells cultured by density gradient centrifugation and osteoblast induction. A scaffold surface of polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) copolymer was wrapped with cell sheets. Mandibular injuries were created in 12 healthy dogs followed by imp...
متن کاملGenetically manipulated progenitor cell sheet with diprotin A improves myocardial function and repair of infarcted hearts.
We postulated that the combination of overexpression of CXCR4 in mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) with diprotin A would enhance MSC recruitment and penetration into ischemic myocardium, leading to an improvement in heart function after myocardial infarction (MI). Male rat MSC were genetically engineered with adenoviral vectors coexpressing CXCR4 and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) (MSC(CX...
متن کاملMyocardial cell sheet therapy and cardiac function.
Heart failure (HF) is the leading cause of death in developed countries. Regenerative medicine has the potential to drastically improve treatment for advanced HF. Stem cell-based medicine has received attention as a promising candidate therapy over the past decade; however, it has not yet realized this potential in terms of reliability. The cell sheet is an innovative technology for constructin...
متن کاملPulsatile myocardial tubes fabricated with cell sheet engineering.
BACKGROUND Tissue engineering approaches involving the direct transplantation of cardiac patches have received significant attention as alternative methods for the treatment of damaged hearts. In contrast, we used cardiomyocyte sheets harvested from temperature-responsive culture dishes to create pulsatile myocardial tubes and examined their in vivo function and survival. METHODS AND RESULTS ...
