Embryonic stem (ES) cells could potentially serve as an excellent cell source for various
applications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Our laboratory is particularly …

Magnetic cell separation has become a popular technique to enrich or deplete cells of interest
from a heterogeneous cell population. One important aspect of magnetic cell separation is …

Embryonic stem cells (ESC) are excellent cell culture systems for elucidating developmental
signals that may be part of the stem cell niche. Although stem cells are traditionally induced …

Mechanical forces are important signals in the development and function of the heart and
lung, growth of skin and muscle, and maintenance of cartilage and bone. The specific …

Nano- and microscale topographical cues play critical roles in the induction and maintenance
of various cellular functions, including morphology, adhesion, gene regulation, and …

Mural cells are indispensable for the development and maintenance of healthy mature
vasculature, valuable for vascular therapies and as developmental models. However, their …

Methods A methodology and a mathematical theory have been developed, which allow
quantitation of the expression levels of cellular surface antigens using immunomagnetic labels …

Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has brought major innovations to the field in its ability to
fabricate cell-laden constructs that closely resemble physiological tissue. Unfortunately, …

Cells self-organize into functional, ordered structures during tissue morphogenesis, a process
that is evocative of colloidal self-assembly into engineered soft materials. Understanding …

Embryoid body (EB) formation closely recapitulates early embryonic development with
respect to lineage commitment. Because it is greatly affected by cell-cell and cell-substrate …
