Cell Adhesion by Design: Engineering Tissue Culture Scaffolds With Adhesion Cues
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In scaffold‐based tissue engineering, the matrix should provide adequate adhesion cues for cell attachment, spreading, and function. Given the multitude of adhesion receptors and the diversity of scaffolds, there are many approaches to render scaffolds adhesive, even though they are not all equivalent.

Identification and characterization of agrin in "Caenorhabditis elegans" [PDF]
, 2006 Agrin is a large basement membrane (BM) proteoglycan expressed in many tissues in vertebrates, with particularly important function at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) where it clusters acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) and maintains structural stability ...

The Effect of Detergents on the Basement Membrane Complex of a Biologic Scaffold Material
Acta Biomaterialia, 2013 The basement membrane complex (BMC) is a critical component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) that supports and facilitates the growth of cells. This study investigates four detergents commonly used in the process of tissue decellularization and their ...

Tunable 3D‐Printed Static Mixers for Gradient Bioprinting With High Cell Viability
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The fabrication of native tissue‐like structures with gradual transitions in material properties, cell types, and growth factors remains a major challenge in biofabrication due to the lack of suitable methods. Mimicking the hierarchical organization of living tissues is essential for functional models, yet creating gradient, multimaterial ...
