3D cell sheet structure augments mesenchymal stem cell cytokine production
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) secrete paracrine factors that play crucial roles during tissue regeneration. An increasing body of evidence suggests that this paracrine function is enhanced by MSC cultivation in three-dimensional (3D) tissue-like ...

Enhancing chondrogenic potential via mesenchymal stem cell sheet multilayering
Advanced tissue engineering approaches for direct articular cartilage replacement in vivo employ mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) sources, exploiting innate chondrogenic potential to fabricate hyaline-like constructs in vitro within three-dimensional (3D ...

Osteogenic extracellular matrix sheet for bone tissue regeneration [PDF]
The application of extracellular matrix (ECM) sheets without a scaffold is not extensively reported in bone regenerative medicine. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate that an osteogenic ECM sheet (OECMS) can retain ECM integrity and growth ...
