Importance of the field: Biomimetic scaffolds and substrates of extracellular matrices (ECMs)
play an important role in the regulation of cell function and in the guidance of new tissue …

The properties of tissue-specific microenvironments vary widely in the human body and
demonstrably influence the structure and function of many cell types. Adipocytes are no …

Ovarian cancer (OvCa) metastasizes to organs in the abdominal cavity, such as the
omentum, which are covered by a single layer of mesothelial cells. Mesothelial cells are …

Soft tissue fillers are rapidly gaining popularity for aesthetic improvements or repair of
adipose tissue deficits. Several injectable biopolymers have been investigated for this …

Background: Fat grafting is now widely used in plastic surgery. Long-term graft retention can
be unpredictable. Fat grafts must obtain oxygen via diffusion until neovascularization occurs …

Adipose tissue is a connective tissue specified for energy metabolism and endocrines, but
functional differences between subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose …

Background The composition of the matrix molecules is important in in vitro cell culture
experiments of eg. human cancer invasion and vessel formation. Currently, the mouse …

Background: Soft-tissue repair is currently limited by the availability of autologous tissue
sources and the absence of an ideal soft-tissue replacement comparable to native adipose …

Basic in vitro systems can be used to model and assess complex diseases, such as cancer.
Recent advances in this field include the incorporation of multiple cell types and …

Stem cell-based therapy has been suggested as a promising option for the treatment of
renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). However, how to efficiently deliver stem cells remains …
