3D printing of fibre-reinforced cartilaginous templates for the regeneration of osteochondral defects
(2020)Successful osteochondral defect repair requires regenerating the subchondral bone whilst simultaneously promoting the development of an overlying layer of articular cartilage that is resistant to vascularization and ... -
Biofabrication of multiscale bone extracellular matrix scaffolds for bone tissue engineering
(2019)Interconnected porosity is critical to the design of regenerative scaffolds, as it permits cell migration, vascularisation and diffusion of nutrients and regulatory molecules inside the scaffold. 3D printing is a promising ... -
Composition-function relations of cartilaginous tissues engineered from chondrocytes and mesenchymal stem cells isolated from bone marrow and infrapatellar fat pad
(2011)The objective of this study was to determine the functional properties of cartilaginous tissues generated by porcine MSCs isolated from different tissue sources, and to compare these properties to those derived from ... -
A Developmental Engineering-Based Approach to Bone Repair: Endochondral Priming Enhances Vascularization and New Bone Formation in a Critical Size Defect
(2020)There is a distinct clinical need for new therapies that provide an effective treatment for large bone defect repair. Herein we describe a developmental approach, whereby constructs are primed to mimic certain aspects of ... -
Dynamic compression can inhibit chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells.
(2008)The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of dynamic compressive loading on chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the presence of TGF-?3. Isolated porcine MSCs were suspended in 2% agarose ... -
High abundance of CD271+ multipotential stromal cells (MSCs) in intramedullary cavities of long-bones
(2012)Aspiration of iliac crest bone marrow (ICBM) remains the most frequent technique used in harvesting multipotential stromal cells (MSCs) for bone regeneration. Although this tissue type is easily accessed by a surgeon, it ... -
Hypoxia mimicking hydrogels to regulate the fate of transplanted stem cells
(2019)Controlling the phenotype of transplanted stem cells is integral to ensuring their therapeutic efficacy. Hypoxia is a known regulator of stem cell fate, the effects of which can be mimicked using hypoxia-inducible factor ... -
Low oxygen tension is a more potent promoter of chondrogenic
(2010)During fracture healing and microfracture treatment of cartilage defects mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) infiltrate the wound site, proliferate extensively and differentiate along a cartilaginous or an osteogenic lineage ...
