Hydrogels, due to their unique biocompatibility, flexible methods of synthesis, range of
constituents, and desirable physical characteristics, have been the material of choice for …

Stem cell fate is influenced by a number of factors and interactions that require robust control
for safe and effective regeneration of functional tissue. Coordinated interactions with soluble …

In a developing organism, tissues emerge from coordinated sequences of cell renewal,
differentiation, and assembly that are orchestrated by spatial and temporal gradients of …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent progenitor cells whose plasticity and self-
renewal capacity have generated significant interest for applications in tissue engineering …

To develop a nano-sized drug delivery system for cancer therapy, amphiphilic hyaluronic
acid conjugates were synthesized by chemical conjugation of hydrophobic 5β-cholanic acid …

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are pluripotent cells capable of differentiating into all somatic
and germ cell types. The intrinsic ability of pluripotent cells to generate a vast array of …

Background At least four laboratories have shown that endogenous cardiac progenitor cells
(CPCs) can be grown directly from adult heart tissue in primary culture, as cardiospheres or …

Efficient delivery of growth or survival factors to cells is one of the most important long‐term
challenges of current cell‐based tissue engineering strategies. The extracellular matrix acts …

The ability to generate human pluripotent stem cell‐derived cell types at sufficiently high
numbers and in a reproducible manner is fundamental for clinical and biopharmaceutical …

In this work, we present a class of hydrogels that leverage the favorable properties of the
photo-cross-linkable hyaluronic acid (HA) and semi-interpenetrating collagen components …
