Recently, there has been considerable interest in the development of materials whose
surface properties can be dynamically modulated by external stimuli. Stimuli-responsive …

Cell sheet engineering has been progressing rapidly during the past few years and has
emerged as a novel approach for cell based therapy. Cell sheet harvest technology enables …

Therapeutic strategies based on the principles of tissue engineering by self-assembly put
forward the notion that functional regeneration can be achieved by utilising the inherent …

The article offers information on the introduction of the cell adhesive peptide Arg-Gly-Asp-
Ser (RGDS) onto a thermo-responsive cell culture substrate which was used as a novel …

Several hydrogel surfaces present properties that simulate the mechanical and
physicochemical features of extracellular matrix (ECM), providing a platform that mimic the …

The regeneration of cells and cell sheets mediated by thermoresponsive substrates
represents an important and ever growing area in tissue engineering. This review seeks to …

Tissue engineering by self-assembly uses the cells' secretome as a regeneration template
and biological factory of trophic factors. Despite the several advantages that have been …

An unmet need for expansion of primary cells and progenitor cells in three dimensions (3-D)
is a synthetic mimic of the extracellular matrix (ECM) with user-controllable composition that …

Polymeric micelle forming from self-assembly of amphiphilic macromolecules is one of the
most potent drug delivery systems. Fatty acids, naturally occurring hydrophobic lipid …

The use of thermoresponsive surfaces as platforms for cell culture and cell regeneration has
