[ 1 ] - Magneto-mechanical Stimulation of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Cells for Chondrogenic Differentiation Studies
Mechanical interaction of cells and their surroundings are prominent in mechanically active tissues such as cartilage. Chondrocytes regulate their growth, matrix synthesis, metabolism, and differentiation in response to mechanical loadings. Cells sense and respond to applied physical forces through mechanosensors such as integrin receptors. Herein, we examine the role of mechanical stimulation ...
[ 2 ] - Osteogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Via Osteoblast- Imprinted Substrate: In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation in Rat Model
BACKGROUND: Stem cells have great effects in clinical cell-based therapy. Accordingly, controlling the behavior and directing the fate of stem cells cultured in the laboratory is an important issue. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate osteogenic properties of adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) which differentiated toward osteogenic linage by osteoblast-imprinted substr...
