Adaptive fabrication of biofunctional decellularized extracellular matrix niche towards complex engineered tissues
… organ-specific microenvironments of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in vitro has been an ongoing challenge in biofabrication. In this study, I present a biofunctional ECM-mimicking protein scaffold with tunable biochemical, mechanical and topographical properties. This scaffold, formed by …

Designing Polymer Hydrogels for Extrusion-Based Additive Manufacturing
… of a 3D-printable bioink based on cardiac decellularized extracellular matrix (cdECM). While Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 deal with molecular-level changes to wholly synthetic polymer systems, Chapter 4 deals with biopolymers derived from porcine cardiac cells that are combined with synthetic …

An in Vitro Microenvironment for Nucleus Pulposus Regeneration
… potential use of SDSCs is that they can produce decellularized extracellular matrix (DECM); expansion of SDSCs or NPCs on this substrate can dramatically increase the rates of proliferation, delay senescence associated changes, and support chondrogenic activity upon induction. In this study, it …

Stem cell matrix and cartilage regeneration
… and a novel approach of SDSC-deposited decellularized extracellular matrix (DECM) on SDSC stemness. DECM expansion enhanced greater SDSC proliferation while retaining stem cell characteristics, compared to FGF-2 supplementation alone. The combination of hypoxia, FGF-2 and DECM …
