The response of osteoprogenitors to calcium (Ca2+) is of primary interest for both normal bone homeostasis and the clinical field of bone regeneration. The latter makes use of calcium phosphate-based bone void fillers to heal bone defects, but it is currently not known how Ca2+ released from these c...

The repertoire of growth factors determines the biological engagement of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) in processes such as immunomodulation and tissue repair. Hypoxia is a strong modulator of the secretome and well known stimuli to increase the secretion of pro-angiogenic molecules. In th...

Biomaterial properties can be tailored for specific applications via systematic and high-throughput screening of biomaterial–cell interactions. However, progress in material development is often hampered by the lack of adequate in vitro testing methods, frequently due to incomplete understanding of ...

Human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) are able to differentiate into a wide variety of cell types, which makes them an interesting source for tissue engineering applications. On the other hand, these cells also secrete a broad panel of growth factors and cytokines that can exert trophic effects on...

Osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) may potentially be used in cell-based bone tissue-engineering applications to enhance the bone-forming potential of these cells. Osteogenic differentiation and adipogenic differentiation are thought to be mutually exclusive, and a...

During the past decades, there have been major advances in the field of biomaterials, thereby generating a vast variety of materials for a broad range of tissue engineering and regeneration applications. Although gene expression profiling has been used occasionally in biomaterial research, its usefu...

Mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) are advancing into the clinic but the therapeutic efficacy of hMSCs faces the problem of donor variability. In bone tissue engineering, no reliable markers have been identified which are able to predict the bone-forming capacity of hMSCs prior to implantation. To th...

Upon contact with a biomaterial, cells and surrounding tissues respond in a manner dictated by the physicochemical and mechanical properties of the material. Traditionally, cellular responses are monitored using invasive analytical methods that report the expression of genes or proteins. These analy...

Increasing evidence suggests that defective RNA processing contributes to the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This may be especially true for ALS caused by a repeat expansion in C9orf72 (c9ALS), in which the accumulation of RNA foci and dipeptide-repeat proteins are expected to m...
