Volumetric muscle loss (VML) occurs when skeletal muscle injury is too large for the body to
fully self-repair. Typically, fibrotic tissue fills the void, which reduces muscle functionality and …

Muscular diseases such as muscular dystrophies and muscle injuries constitute a large
group of ailments that manifest as muscle weakness, atrophy or fibrosis. Although cell …

Stem cell therapy is considered an optimistic approach to replace current treatments for
cartilage defects. Recently, human urine-derived stem cells (hUSCs), which are isolated …

Volumetric muscle loss (VML) injuries characterized by critical loss of skeletal muscle
tissues result in severe functional impairment. Current treatments involving use of muscle …

Upper urinary tract-derived urine stem cells (USCs) are considered a valuable
mesenchymal stem cell source for autologous cell therapy. However, the reported culture …

Synthetic hydrogel scaffolds that can be used as culture systems that mimic the natural stem
cell niche are of increased importance for stem cell biology and regenerative medicine …

In this study, we examined the capacity of a biomimetic pullulan–collagen hydrogel to create
a functional biomaterial-based stem cell niche for the delivery of mesenchymal stem cells …

Intervertebral disc regeneration is quickly moving towards clinical applications. However, it
is still missing an ideal injectable hydrogel to support mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) …

Background Cell-transplantation therapies have attracted attention as treatments for skeletal-
muscle disorders; however, such research has been severely limited by poor cell survival …

Introduction The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of gelatin microspheres
incorporating growth factors on the therapeutic efficacy in cell transplantation. The strength …
