Decorin (DCN) is an important small leucine-rich proteoglycan present in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of many organs and tissues. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are able to interact with the surrounding ECM and bind to molecules such as DCN. Here, we

In this paper, two nanoscale preparations were described for docetaxel encapsulation using poly(epsilon-caprolactone)poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCEC) copolymer as carrier for treating malignant tumor. The first formulation was docetaxel-loaded PCEC micelle (D-M), which was characterized by XRD, TEM and Malvern laser particle

The discovery of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology has raised hopes in circumventing the current limitations in cell-based therapies where autologous stem cells could be generated from terminally differentiated somatic cells. Given the relatively short history of iPSC research

With potential relevance for brain-mapping work, hydrogel-based structures can now be built from within biological tissue to allow subsequent removal of lipids without mechanical disassembly of the tissue. This process creates a tissue-hydrogel hybrid that is physically stable, that preserves

Artificial reconstruction of fibre-shaped cellular constructs could greatly contribute to tissue assembly in vitro. Here we show that, by using a microfluidic device with double-coaxial laminar flow, metre-long core-shell hydrogel microfibres encapsulating ECM proteins and differentiated cells or somatic stem
