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 کاملOsteogenic Embryoid Body-Derived Material Induces Bone Formation In Vivo
The progressive loss of endogenous regenerative capacity that accompanies mammalian aging has been attributed at least in part to alterations in the extracellular matrix (ECM) composition of adult tissues. Thus, creation of a more regenerative microenvironment, analogous to embryonic morphogenesis, may be achieved via pluripotent embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation and derivation of devit...
متن کاملRole of heparan sulfate in dextral heart looping in chick.
Heparan sulfate (HS) has been shown to be involved in left-right asymmetry formation, including the process of dextral heart looping during embryonic development. The structural features of HS required in this process, however, have not been explored. In this study, we examined the structure of HS from the heart-forming regions (or heart fields) of Hamburger and Hamilton stage 5-9 chick embryos...
متن کاملRole of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in cell signaling and cancer.
The correct growth and development of multicellular organisms depends on the reception of numerous extracellular signals that activate various signal transduction cascades within the target cells. The activity of these pathways, such as the receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), Wnts, and Hedgehogs (Hh), are usually regulated by the binding of extracellular liga...
متن کاملAn unexpected role for anticoagulant heparan sulfate proteoglycans in reproduction.
Major tissue remodelling occurs in hormone responsive tissues of the female genital tract, at ovulation and during gestation, involving proteolysis and inflammation. Disorders of tissue remodelling events are associated with infertility in women with luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome and with gestational pathologies as preeclampsia. Ovulation impairment is an important factor of infertili...
