Alginate microencapsulation of human islets does not increase susceptibility to acute hypoxia.

Only registered users can translate articles

Islet transplantation in diabetes is hampered by the need of life-long immunosuppression. Encapsulation provides partial immunoprotection but could possibly limit oxygen supply, a factor that may enhance hypoxia-induced beta cell death in the early posttransplantation period. Here we tested

Differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells toward nucleus pulposus-like cells induced by hypoxia and a three-dimensional chitosan-alginate gel scaffold in vitro.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Injectable three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds have the advantages of fluidity and moldability to fill irregular-shaped defects, simple incorporation of bioactive factors, and limited surgical invasiveness. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are multipotent and can be differentiated toward

* Hypoxia for Mesenchymal Stem Cell Expansion and Differentiation: The Best Way for Enhancing TGFß-Induced Chondrogenesis and Preventing Calcifications in Alginate Beads.

Only registered users can translate articles

We examined the respective influence of a sequential or a continuous hypoxia during expansion and transforming growth factor beta 1-driven chondrogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The differentiation was performed within alginate beads, a classical tool for

Modeling nucleus pulposus regeneration in vitro: mesenchymal stem cells, alginate beads, hypoxia, bone morphogenetic protein-2, and synthetic peptide B2A.

Only registered users can translate articles

METHODS Using a low cell density, hypoxic, alginate-bead culture system, the effects of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and synthetic peptide B2A on cell proliferation and extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis were assessed at days 0, 3, 5, and 7, using nucleus pulposus (NP)-like differentiated

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Aggregate Formation in an Alginate Bead Model System Exhibits In Vivo-Like Characteristics.

Only registered users can translate articles

Alginate beads represent a simple and highly reproducible in vitro model system for diffusion-limited bacterial growth. In this study, alginate beads were inoculated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and followed for up to 72 h. Confocal microscopy revealed that P. aeruginosa formed dense clusters similar

The air-liquid interface culture of the mechanically isolated seminiferous tubules embedded in agarose or alginate improves in vitro spermatogenesis at the expense of attenuating their integrity.

Only registered users can translate articles

Optimization of tissue culture systems able to complete male germ cell maturation to post-meiotic stages is considered as an important matter in reproductive biology. Considering that hypoxia is one of the factors limiting the efficiency of organ culture, the aim of this study was to use isolated

Chondrogenic differentiation of neonatal human dermal fibroblasts encapsulated in alginate beads with hydrostatic compression under hypoxic conditions in the presence of bone morphogenetic protein-2.

Only registered users can translate articles

In the present work, neonatal human dermal fibroblasts (nHDFs) were evaluated as a potential cell source for intervertebral disc repair. Chondrogenic differentiation of nHDFs was studied in the presence or absence of hydrostatic compression under normal and hypoxic conditions. In addition, the

Decreased Zn(2+) Influx Underlies the Protective Role of Hypoxia in Rat Nucleus Pulposus Cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Zn(2+) is an essential component of metalloproteinases, and is required for their activity in cartilage; however, the effect of Zn(2+) on nucleus pulposus (NP) cells has not been widely investigated. The aim of this paper was to investigate the effect of intracellular Zn(2+) concentration

Calcium-alginate hydrogel-encapsulated fibroblasts provide sustained release of vascular endothelial growth factor.

Only registered users can translate articles

Vascularization of engineered or damaged tissues is essential to maintain cell viability and proper tissue function. Revascularization of the left ventricle (LV) of the heart after myocardial infarction is particularly important, since hypoxia can give rise to chronic heart failure due to

Intraportal transplantation of allogenic pancreatic islets encapsulated in barium alginate beads in diabetic rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

The survival of microencapsulated islets transplanted into the unmodified peritoneal cavity is limited, even if capsular overgrowth is restricted to a minimum, due to an insufficient oxygen supply to the islets. Therefore, research efforts should focus on finding or creating a transplantation site,

In vivo determination of tumor oxygenation during growth and in response to carbogen breathing using 15C5-loaded alginate capsules as fluorine-19 magnetic resonance imaging oxygen sensors.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The objective was to present a method for the repeated noninvasive measurement of tumor oxygenation (Po(2)) over the whole period of tumor growth. METHODS A mixture of tumor homogenate (GH3 prolactinoma) and alginate capsules loaded with perfluoro-15-crown-5-ether (15C5) was injected into

Three-dimensional alginate hydrogels for radiobiological and metabolic studies of cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate calcium alginate hydrogels as a system for in vitro radiobiological and metabolic studies of cancer cells. Previous studies have established calcium alginate as a versatile three-dimensional (3D) culturing system capable of generating areas of oxygen

CD146+ human umbilical cord perivascular cells maintain stemness under hypoxia and as a cell source for skeletal regeneration.

Only registered users can translate articles

The human umbilical cord perivascular cells (HUCPVCs) have been considered as an alternative source of mesenchymal progenitors for cell based regenerative medicine. However, the biological properties of these cells remain to be well characterized. In the present study, HUCPVCs were isolated and

Oxygen and pH-sensitivity of human osteoarthritic chondrocytes in 3-D alginate bead culture system.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To identify the effect of alterations in physical parameters such as oxygen and pH on processes associated with cellular redox balance in osteoarthritic chondrocytes. METHODS Human osteoarthritic chondrocytes (HOAC) were isolated from total knee arthroplasty samples and cultured in 3-D

Alginate-Chitosan Hydrogels Provide a Sustained Gradient of Sphingosine-1-Phosphate for Therapeutic Angiogenesis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a bioactive lipid, is a potent candidate for treatment of ischemic vascular disease. However, designing biomaterial systems for the controlled release of S1P to achieve therapeutic angiogenesis presents both biological and engineering challenges. Thus, the objective of
