Abstract

One of the main challenges in regenerative medicine is the spatiotemporal control of angiogenesis, which is key for the successful repair of many tissues, and determines the proper integration of the implant through the generation of a functional vascular network. To this end, we have designed a three-dimensional (3D) model consisting of a coaxial binary elastin-like recombinamer (ELR) tubular construct. It displays fast and slow proteolytic hydrogels on its inner and outer part, respectively, both sensitive to the urokinase plasminogen activator protease. The ELRs used to build the scaffold included crosslinkable domains to stabilize the structure and a conjugated VEGF-derived peptide (QK) to induce angiogenesis. The mechanical and morphological evaluation of the ELR hydrogels proved their suitability for soft tissue regeneration. In addition, in vitro studies evidenced the effect of the QK peptide on endothelial cell spreading and anastomosis. Moreover, immunohistochemical analyses after subcutaneous implantation of the ELR hydrogels in mice showed the induction of a low macrophage response that resolved over time. The implantation of the 3D model constructs evidenced the ability of the fast proteolytic sequence and the QK pe...Continue Reading

Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cells reside in unique niches that provide vital cues for their survival, self-renewal, and differentiation. They hold great promise for use in tissue repair and regeneration as a novel therapeutic strategies. Here is the latest research.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
