Effects of pH on human bone marrow stromal cells in vitro : Implications for tissue engineering of bone
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2002-05)
The objective of this study was to address the hypothesis that changes in extracellular pH alter collagen gene expression, collagen synthesis, and alkaline phosphatase activity in bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). Potential ...
Development and characterization of a biodegradable polyphosphate
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1997-01)
A biodegradable polyphosphate polymer (M n = 18,000, M w /M n = 3.2) matrix system was developed as a potential delivery vehicle for growth factors. As a model system, release of recombinant human osteogenic protein-1 ...
Whole skeletal muscle transplantation: Mechanisms responsible for functional deficits
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1994-04-05)
One aspect of tissue engineering of skeletal muscle involves the transposition and transplantation of whole muscles to treat muscles damaged by injury or disease. The transposition of whole muscles has been used for many ...
Chondrocyte Differentiation is Modulated by Frequency and Duration of Cyclic Compressive Loading
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Biomedical Engineering Society ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-06)
As part of a program of research aimed at determining the role of mechanical forces in connective tissue differentiation, we have developed a model for investigating the effects of dynamic compressive loading on chondrocyte ...
Micropatterned Structures for Studying the Mechanics of Biological Polymers
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2005-03)
Studying the mechanics of nanometer-scale biomolecules presents many challenges; these include maintaining light microscopy image quality and avoiding interference with the laser used for mechanical manipulation, that is, ...
Growth of continuous bonelike mineral within porous poly(lactide- co -glycolide) scaffolds in vitro
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2000-04)
Strategies to engineer bone have focused on the use of natural or synthetic degradable materials as scaffolds for cell transplantation or as substrates to guide bone regeneration. The basic requirements of the scaffold ...
Use of Air-Liquid Two-Phase Flow in Hydrophobic Microfluidic Channels for Disposable Flow Cytometers
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-05)
This paper describes a disposable flow cytometer that uses an air-liquid two-phase microfluidic system to produce a focused high-speed liquid sample stream of particles and cells. The susceptibility of thin liquid columns ...
Measuring the Electrical Stapedius Reflex with Stapedius Muscle Electromyogram Recordings
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Biomedical Engineering Society ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-02)
Previous studies have demonstrated a correlation between cochlear implant recipients' comfort levels ( C level, upper limit of dynamic range of stimulation) and the contralateral electrical stapedius reflex (ESR) threshold, ...
A Theoretical Model of a Molecular-Motor-Powered Pump
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2005-03)
The motion of a cylindrical bead in a fluid contained within a two-dimensional channel is investigated using the boundary element method as a model of a biomolecular-motor-powered microfluidics pump. The novelty of the ...
