Peripheral nerve injuries are a major public health problem. Nerve conduits have been
developed in the recent years, although it is still not clear if they should replace nerve …

In regenerative medicine applications, the differentiation stage of implanted stem cells must
be optimized to control cell fate and enhance therapeutic efficacy. We investigated the …

Development of new nerve guides is required for replacing autologous nerve grafts for the
repair of long gap defects after nerve injury. A nerve guide comprised only of electrospun …

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) play a vital role in
endothelialization and vascularization for tissue regeneration. Various EPC/EC targeting …

Thylakoids, on which complete sets of photosynthetic membrane proteins are contained,
behave as soft nanoparticles of a few tens nm sizes. Thus, we separated the thylakoid …

Biodegradable polymers have potential as a scaffold material for making small diameter
artery bypass grafts. To resist thrombosis, maintain biocompatibility and enhance the …

Understanding of myelination/remyelination process is essential to guide tissue engineering
for nerve regeneration. In vitro models currently used are limited to cell population studies …

Nanofiber composite materials play an important role in tissue engineering (TE) and
regenerative medicine, mimicking the structure and properties of the extracellular matrix at …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to demonstrate a method of isolating myogenic
progenitor cells from human placenta chorionic villi and to confirm the myogenic …
