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 …

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 …

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 …

Cardiomyocytes (CMs) differentiated from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are a promising
and potentially unlimited cell source for myocardial repair and regeneration. Recently, …

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

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 …

Continuous magnetic separation, in which there is no accumulation of mass in the system, is
an inherently dynamic process, requiring advanced knowledge of the separable species for …

The vascularization of tissue grafts is critical for maintaining viability of the cells within a
transplanted graft. A number of strategies are currently being investigated including very …

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 …
