Enhanced Mechanical and Cytocompatibility Properties of Novel 3D Printed Osteochondral Scaffolds

Holmes B., Zhang LG., The George Washington University, US

A series of novel 3D osteochondral computer aided models were designed including a homogenous cross-hatched structure, a bi-phasic structure consisting of a cross hatched pattern and an intersecting rings structure, and a biphasic “key” model [...]

Grow of stem cells on chemical-laser generated titanium cobalt shape memory alloy nanoparticles

Karami A., Materials and Energy Research Centre, IR

In this research nanoparticles are fabricated using a method that is a combination of chemical and femtosecond laser ablation methods. The resulting nanoparticles are used to coat glass substrates in order to test the biocompatibility [...]

Size-Dependent Separation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells by Applying Microfluidic Chip Filtration

Yu S.-Y., Yoo J-H, Chun M.-S., Chang M.-S., Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), KR

It is important to separate human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) with high multipotential to differentiation and to increase efficacy of cell therapy. We investigated to develop and validate a novel method for collection [...]

A novel stem cell tag-less sorting method

Roda B., Lanzoni G., Alviano F., Zattoni A., Costa R., Di Carlo A., Marchionni C., Franchina M., Ricci F., Tazzari P., Pagliaro P., Scalinci S.Z., Bonsi L., Reschiglian P., Bagnara G.P., University of Bologna, IT

New methods for stem cells isolation are being developed. Common procedures for stem cell sorting involve flow cytometry which makes use of fluorescent or magnetic tags to isolate and separate cells which are phenotypically different. [...]

Stem Cell Differentiation Base on Acoustic Wave Sensor

Shih C-J, Tsai B-C, Ou K-L, Industrial Technology Research Institute, TW

This project was based on immobilizing bio-material. We used a new application for protein array and studied a new acoustic wave sensor which is based on silicon. We used the MEMS fabrication and the property [...]

Stem cell differentiation on nano-structured carbon surfaces

Ercan B., Price R., Webster T.J., Purdue University, US

The research is based on the differentiation of stem cells on carbonnanofibers.
