Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (ASCs) are an adult stem cell population
able to self-renew and differentiate into numerous cell lineages. ASCs provide a promising …

Porous membranes enable the partitioning of cellular microenvironments in vitro, while still
allowing physical and biochemical crosstalk between cells, a feature that is often necessary …

Soft tissue defects are a common clinical challenge mostly caused by trauma, congenital
anomalies and oncological surgery. Current soft tissue reconstruction options include …

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) have distinct roles within the tumor microenvironment,
which can impact the mode and efficacy of tumor cell migration. CAFs are known to increase …

Background Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been gaining fame
mainly due to their vast clinical potential, simple isolation methods and minimal donor site …

Here we report on the development of a breakthrough micro fluidic human in vitro
cerebrovascular barrier (CVB) model featuring stem cell-derived brain-like endothelial cells …

The endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus. Following specific cyclic hormonal
stimulation, endometrial stromal fibroblasts (stroma) and vascular endothelial cells exhibit …

Membranes have been used extensively for the purification and separation of biological
species. A persistent challenge is the purification of species from concentrated feed …

Porous membrane materials at the micro/nanoscale have exhibited practical and potential
value for extensive biological and medical applications associated with filtration and …

Typical in vitro barrier and co-culture models rely upon thick semi-permeable polymeric
membranes that physically separate two compartments. Polymeric track-etched membranes …
