Precision-porous templated scaffolds of varying pore size drive dendritic cell activation
The Bryers labs presents the effects of varying pore size of poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) and poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS, silicone) scaffolds on the maturation and in vivo enrichment of dendritic cells.
Mechanical Stress Conditioning and Electrical Stimulation Promote Contractility and Force Maturation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Human Cardiac Tissue
The researchers demonstrate how electric pacing and mechanical stimulation promote maturation of the structural, mechanical and force generation properties of human-induced pluriopotent stem cell-derived cardiac tissues.
Virus-Inspired Polymer for Efficient In?Vitro and In?Vivo Gene Delivery
Researchers demonstrate a synthetic polymer, VIPER, designed to mimic viral mechanisms of delivery, and that may have potential as a gene delivery platform for cancer therapy and other macromolecule therapeutics.
