Growth factor and macromolecular crowding supplementation in human tenocyte culture
Biomaterials and Biosystems, 2021 Cell-assembled tissue engineering strategies hold great potential in regenerative medicine, as three-dimensional tissue-like modules can be produced, even from a patient's own cells. However, the development of such implantable devices requires prolonged

Physicochemical cues are not potent regulators of human dermal fibroblast trans-differentiation
Biomaterials and Biosystems, 2023 Due to their inherent plasticity, dermal fibroblasts hold great promise in regenerative medicine. Although biological signals have been well-established as potent regulators of dermal fibroblast function, it is still unclear whether physiochemical cues ...

A combined physicochemical approach towards human tenocyte phenotype maintenance
Materials Today Bio, 2021 During in vitro culture, bereft of their optimal tissue context, tenocytes lose their phenotype and function. Considering that tenocytes in their native tissue milieu are exposed simultaneously to manifold signals, combination approaches (e.g.
