A novel poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) structure with a unique architecture produced by an electrospinning process has been developed for tissue-engineering applications, which acts to support and guide cell growth.
Comparison of Proliferative and Multilineage Differentiation Potential of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived from Umbilical Cord and Bone Marrow
Gene array analysis showed that HUCPVCs also expressed Wnt signaling pathway genes that have been implicated in the regulation of MSCs, which support the applicability of HU CPVCs for cell‐based therapies.
Adult mesenchymal stem cells: characterization, differentiation, and application in cell and gene therapy
A model for the regulation of MSC differentiation is proposed, and recent findings regarding theregulation of M SC differentiation are discussed.

- 15 December 2004
The results showed that sFRP3 treatment attenuates some of the observed Wnt 3a effects on MSCs, and that inhibition of canonical Wnt signaling using a dominant negative TCF1 enhances MSC osteogenesis.

The reported expression of surface molecules in MSCs from various sources are revisited, aiming to assess their potential as MSC markers and define the critical panel for future investigation.
Stem/progenitor cell-mediated de novo regeneration of dental pulp with newly deposited continuous layer of dentin in an in vivo model.

- Materials Science, BiologyTissue Engineering. Part A
- 1 February 2010
This study provides the first evidence showing that pulp- like tissue can be regenerated de novo in emptied root canal space by stem cells from apical papilla and dental pulp stem cells that give rise to odontoblast-like cells producing dentin-like tissue on existing dentinal walls.
