Stem cells are unique cell populations with the ability to undergo both self-renewal and
differentiation. A wide variety of adult mammalian tissues harbors stem cells, yet “adult” stem …

▪ Abstract Organ shortage and suboptimal prosthetic or biological materials for repair or
replacement of diseased or destroyed human organs and tissues are the main motivation for …

Cell replacement therapy is a promising approach for the treatment of cardiac diseases, but
is challenged by a limited supply of appropriate cells. We have investigated whether …

Tissue engineering has emerged as a rapidly expanding approach to address the organ
shortage problem. It is an “interdisciplinary field that applies the principles and methods of …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were aligned in gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels using
dielectrophoresis approach. Mouse embryoid bodies (EBs) were cultured in the microwells …

Objectives: Marrow stromal cells are mesenchymal stem cells able to differentiate into
cardiomyocytes in vitro. We tested the hypothesis that marrow stromal cells, when implanted …

Objective: The study evaluated the utility of transplanting bone marrow stromal cells in a
porcine myocardial infarction model. Methods: A myocardial infarction was created by …

OBJECTIVE: It is thought that adult human mesenchymal stem cells do not induce
immunoreactivity even to xenografts. We wanted to study whether adult human …

Cardiac tissue regeneration is an integrated process involving both cells and supporting
matrix. Cardiomyocytes and stem cells are utilized to regenerate cardiac tissue. Hydrogels …

Heart diseases, including myocardial infarction (MI) and congestive heart failure (CHF),
have high mortality rates. Both MI and CHF are characterized by cardiac muscle damage …
