Artificial Stem Cell Niches [PDF]
Advanced Materials, 2009 AbstractStem cells are characterized by their dual ability to reproduce themselves (self‐renew) and specialize (differentiate), yielding a plethora of daughter cells that maintain and regenerate tissues. In contrast to their embryonic counterparts, adult stem cells retain their unique functions only if they are in intimate contact with an instructive ...

FERROMAGNETIC ARTIFICIAL CELLS FOR ARTIFICIAL CIRCULATION
ASAIO Journal, 1996 It is known that deoxygenated blood is paramagnetic. A ferrofluidic actuator for an implantable artificial heart has been studied. The magnetic fluid consists of ferromagnetic magnetite particles (10 nm). If artificial cells encapsulating ferromagnetic particles are mixed in blood, the circulation is maintained by applying a magnetic field to the blood.

FEBS Letters, 2012 We are on the verge of producing “synthetic cells,” or protocells, in which some, many or all of the tasks of a real biological cell are harnessed into a synthetic platform. Such advances are made possible through genetic engineering, microfabrication technologies, and the development of cellular membranes from new surfactants that extend beyond ...

Formation of Giant Unilamellar Vesicles Assisted by Fluorinated Nanoparticles
Advanced Science, 2023 In the quest to produce artificial cells, one key challenge that remains to be solved is the recreation of a complex cellular membrane. Among the existing models, giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are particularly interesting due to their intrinsic ...
