introduction: extracellular matrix (ecm) components significantly influence the growth characteristics of cell, development of spontaneous contractile activity, andmorphologic differentiation. the present study evaluates the effect of ecm ongenotypic and physiologic characteristics of cardiomyocytes derived from embryonic stem (es) cells. material and methods: embryoid bodies derived from mouse...

background: osteoarthritis is one of the most common diseases in middle‑aged populations in the world and could become the fourth principal cause of disability by the year 2020. one of the critical properties for cartilage tissue engineering (te) is the ability of scaffolds to closely mimic the extracellular matrix and bond to the host tissue. therefore, te has been presented as a technique to ...
