A Human Neural Tube Model Using 4D Self‐Folding Smart Scaffolds

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) exhibit features comparable to the inner cell mass of the human embryo. iPSCs are applied to a novel self‐folding 4D‐Neural Tube (4D‐NT) structure that mimics the neurulation process. This 4D‐NT model recapitulates early events of human neural development and represents a platform to explore neurodevelopmental ...

A PTK7/Ror2 Co-Receptor Complex Affects Xenopus Neural Crest Migration.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Neural crest cells are a highly migratory pluripotent cell population that generates a wide array of different cell types and failure in their migration can result in severe birth defects and malformation syndromes.

Fibrillar Bundles as Fibrous Filler Materials for Attaining Cell Anisotropy in Bioprinting

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Fibrillar bundles are introduced as a bioprintable additive that enables robust and scalable cellular alignment within 3D constructs through flow‐induced orientation during extrusion. These fibers support strong cell adhesion and polarization across various cell types and significantly enhance myotube alignment in Gelatine‐Methacryloyl (GelMA ...

SNW1 is a critical regulator of spatial BMP activity, neural plate border formation, and neural crest specification in vertebrate embryos.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2011
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) gradients provide positional information to direct cell fate specification, such as patterning of the vertebrate ectoderm into neural, neural crest, and epidermal tissues, with precise borders segregating these domains ...
