Health care and medicine were revolutionized in recent years by the development of
biomaterials, such as stents, implants, personalized drug delivery systems, engineered …

Chemical, mechanical, and topographic extracellular matrix (ECM) cues have been
extensively studied for their influence on cell behavior. These ECM cues alter cell adhesion …

OBJECTIVE: The relationship of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) with
pericytes and fibroblasts has not been established thus far, although they share many …

The microenvironment of bone marrow–derived human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs)
strictly regulates their self-renewal and differentiation. Culturing these cells ex vivo leads to a …

Chitosan and collagen type I are naturally derived materials used as cell carriers because of
their ability to mimic the extracellular environment and direct cell function. In this study beta …

Extracellular matrix (ECM) is comprised of different types of proteins, which change in
composition and ratios during morphogenesis and disease progression. ECM proteins …

Alginate methacrylate (ALMA) hydrogels have been prevalently used in various biomedical
applications, mainly due to their photocrosslinking ability. Not only this feature allows the …

Cell-derived extracellular matrix (ECM) has been employed as scaffolds for tissue
engineering, creating a biomimetic microenvironment that provides physical, chemical and …

Mechanobiology, translating mechanical signals into biological ones, greatly affects cellular
behavior. Steering cellular behavior for cell-based regenerative medicine approaches …

Combining stem cells with biomaterial scaffolds serves as a promising strategy for
engineering tissues for both in vitro and in vivo applications. This updated review details …
