Wnt signalling and cancer stem cells
(Springer, 2009-07-15)
[Abstract] Intracellular signalling mediated by secreted Wnt proteins is essential for the establishment of cell fates and proper tissue patterning during embryo development and for the regulation of tissue homeostasis and ...
Hedgehog signalling as a target in cancer stem cells
(Spirnger, 2009)
[Abstract] Hedgehog (Hh) is one of the most important signalling pathways. Together with the Wnt, TGF-β/BMP and Notch pathways, it is involved in both embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis. This is because Hh ...
Cell and Tissue Transplant Strategies for Joint Lesions
(Bentham Open, 2008-07-11)
[Abstract]
Articular cartilage lesions that do not disrupt the integrity of subchondral bone are not capable of spontaneous repair. The asymptomatic nature of these lesions leads to articular cartilage degeneration and ...
Notch signalling in cancer stem cells
(Springer, 2009)
[Abstract] A new theory about the development of solid tumours is emerging from the idea that solid tumours, like normal adult tissues, contain stem cells (called cancer stem cells) and arise from them. Genetic mutations ...
Cryopreservation effect on proliferative and chondrogenic potential of human chondrocytes isolated from superficial and deep cartilage
(Bentham Open, 2012-04-06)
[Abstract]
Objectives: To compare the proliferative and chondrogenic potential of fresh and frozen chondrocytes isolated from superficial and deep articular cartilage biopsies.
Materials and Methodology: The study ...
Long-term effects of hydrogen sulfide on the anabolic-catabolic balance of articular cartilage in vitro
(Elsevier, 2017-11-01)
[Abstract] Healthy cartilage maintenance relies on an equilibrium among the anabolic and catabolic processes in chondrocytes. With the onset of osteoarthritis (OA), increased interleukin (IL)-1β levels induce an inhibition ...
Statistical degradation modelling of Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) copolymers for bioscaffold applications
(PLOS, 2018-10-01)
[Abstract] This methodology permits to simulate the performance of different Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) copolymer formulations (PDLGA) in the human body, to identify the more influencing variables on hydrolytic degradation ...
Human cartilage engineering in an in vitro repair model using collagen scaffolds and mesenchymal stromal cells
(Ivyspring, 2017-09-28)
[Abstract] The purpose of this study was to investigate cartilage repair of in vitro lesion models using human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (hBMSCs) with different collagen (Col) scaffolds.
Lesions were made ...
Human amniotic mesenchymal stromal cells as favorable source for cartilage repair
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2017-01-10)
[Abstract]
Introduction: Localized trauma-derived breakdown of the hyaline articular cartilage may progress toward osteoarthritis, a degenerative condition characterized by total loss of articular cartilage and joint ...
Induced pluripotent stem cells for cartilage repair: current status and future perspectives
(AO Research Institute Davos, 2018-09-11)
[Abstract] The establishment of cartilage regenerative medicine is an important clinical issue, but the search for cell sources able to restore cartilage integrity proves to be challenging. Human mesenchymal stromal cells ...
