Cell scaffold constructs

TL;DR: In this article, a tubular biodegradable polyglycolic acid scaffold is presented, which can be used as an arteriovenous graft, a coronary graft, or a peripheral artery bypass conduit.

TL;DR: An orthotopic artificial bladder endoprosthesis comprises a first portion (2) connectable to a urethra of a patient and a second portion (3) connected to the ureters of said patient as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present therapeutic formulations containing active agents, such as bioactive cell populations, and methods of making and using the same, as well as methods of synthesizing the same.

TL;DR: In this article, the regeneration, reconstruction, augmentation or replacement of luminal organs or tissue structures in a subject in need using scaffolds seeded with autologous or non-autologous cell populations that are or are not derived from the corresponding organ or tissue structure that is the subject of the regeneration.

TL;DR: To confirm whether adipose tissue contains stem cells, the PLA population and multiple clonal isolates were analyzed using several molecular and biochemical approaches and PLA cells exhibited unique characteristics distinct from those seen in MSCs, including differences in CD marker profile and gene expression.

TL;DR: A. Ratner, Biomaterials Science: An Interdisciplinary Endeavor, Materials Science and Engineering--Properties of Materials: J.E. Schoen, and R.J.Ratner, Surface Properties of Materials, and Application of Materials in Medicine and Dentistry.

TL;DR: Diet-induced obesity leads to a shift in the activation state of ATMs from an M2-polarized state in lean animals that may protect adipocytes from inflammation to an M1 proinflammatory state that contributes to insulin resistance.

TL;DR: The history and Scope of Tissue Engineering, J.P. Vavanti and C.A. Vacanti, and Quantitative Aspects of Tissues Engineering: Basic Issues in Kinetics, Transport, and Mechanics are reviewed.
