Abstract Background/Aims: Strontium ranelate (SrRan) is an anti-osteoporotic treatment that
reduces the risk of vertebral and hip fractures. Recent in vitro studies suggest that the effect …

Angiogenesis is very important for vascularized tissue engineering. In this study, we found
that a two-dimensional co-culture of human bone marrow stromal cell (HBMSC) and human …

Biostite® is a hydroxyapatite-derived biomaterial that is used in periodontal and bone
reconstructive procedures due to its osteoconductive properties. Since the molecular effects …

Background: Wound healing relies on a coordinated expression and release of growth
factors controlling angiogenesis. We measured vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) …

Embryonic stem (ES) cells could potentially serve as an excellent cell source for various
applications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Our laboratory is particularly …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are highly useful in a variety of cell therapies owing to their
multipotential differentiation capability. MSCs derived from umbilical cord blood are …

This work reports on the physicochemical properties and in vitro cytotoxicity assessment of
chitosan–calcium phosphate (Cs–CP) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering, which were …

A human skin equivalent from a single skin biopsy harboring keratinocytes and melanocytes
in the epidermal compartment, and fibroblasts and microvascular dermal endothelial cells in …

Background Increasing evidence shows that bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) have
antitumor activities both in vitro and in animal models. Further studies fleshed out the …

The microvasculature is a dynamic cellular system necessary for tissue health and function.
Therapeutic strategies that target the microvasculature are expanding and evolving …
