Fibrin gels as biological filters and interfaces.

Abstract:

:We present data which show that fibrin gels are ordered network structures, the porosity of which is determined by the amount of thrombin being present during the activation step preceding gelation. On activation of fibrinogen, fibrinopeptides are released and simultaneously polymers are formed, obeying apparent first order kinetics. The pore size of the network is inversely related to the rate of polymer formation. It is proposed that at the time of gelation the polymers form an ordered lattice structure, which in the organism may serve as a biological interface.

  • Phenotypic analysis of cell surface markers and gene expression of human mesenchymal stem cells and chondrocytes during monolayer expansion.

    abstract::Both chondrocytes and mensenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are the most used cell sources for cartilage tissue engineering. However, monolayer expansion to obtain sufficient cells leads to a rapid chondrocyte dedifferentiation and a subsequent ancillary reduced ability of MSCs to differentiate into chondrocytes, thus limiti...
