Perfusion culture promotes differentiation of oral keratinocytes in vitro.

In vitro Assay of Human Gingival Scaffold in Differentiation of Rat’s Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Keratinocystes

Objective(s)Tissue engineering is an attractive science because it promises new therapeutic strategies for repairing organs that have lost functions due to damage. The purpose of this study was to evaluate induction effect of human gingival scaffold in tissue engineering for skin regeneration.Materials and MethodsTissue samples were obtained from crown-lengthening procedures and wisdom teeth re...

Tissue engineering of composite grafts: Cocultivation of human oral keratinocytes and human osteoblast-like cells on laminin-coated polycarbonate membranes and equine collagen membranes under different culture conditions.

In complex craniomaxillofacial defects, the simultaneous reconstruction of hard and soft tissue is often necessary. Until now, oral keratinocytes and osteoblast-like cells have not been cocultivated on the same carrier. For the first time, the cocultivation of human oral keratinocytes and human osteoblast-like cells has been investigated in this study. Different carriers (laminin-coated polycar...

Laminin matrix promotes hepatogenic terminal differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells

Objective(s):The application of stem cells holds great promises in cell transplants. Considering the lack of optimal in vitro model for hepatogenic differentiation, this study was designed to examine the effects of laminin matrix on the improvement of in vitro differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSC) into the more functional hepatocyte-like cells. Materials and Met...

In vitro Co-Culture of Human Skin Keratinocytes and Fibroblasts on a Biocompatible and Biodegradable Scaffold

Background: Extensive full-thickness burns require replacement of both epidermis and dermis. In designing skin replacements, the goal has been to re-create this model and make a product which has both essential components. Methods: In the present study, we developed procedures for establishing confluent, stratified layers of cultured human keratinocytes on the surface of modified collagen-chito...
