A diverse array of environmental factors contributes to the overall control of stem cell activity.
In particular, new data continue to mount on the influence of the extracellular matrix (ECM) …

In contrast to non-mammalian vertebrates, mammals and humans have limited innate
capacity for the self-regeneration of tissues and organs owing to differences in genetics …

The emerging field of regenerative medicine will require a reliable source of stem cells in
addition to biomaterial scaffolds and cytokine growth factors. Adipose tissue represents an …

Adult articular cartilage exhibits little capacity for intrinsic repair, and thus even minor injuries
or lesions may lead to progressive damage and osteoarthritic joint degeneration, resulting in …

The present paper intends to overview a wide range of natural–origin polymers with special
focus on proteins and polysaccharides (the systems more inspired on the extracellular …

Background—Adipose tissue development and remodeling are closely associated with the
growth of vascular network. We hypothesized that adipose tissue may contain progenitor …
