Encapsulation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Phosphate Mineralized Alginate Beads
Westhrin, Marita (Master thesis, 2011)Alginate scaffolds show good promise for bone tissue engineering using stem cells. This is due to the fact that alginate is biocompatible, non-immunogenic, and in addition may direct differentiation of stem cells into a ... -
Osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells in mineralized alginate matrices
Westhrin, Marita; Xie, Minli; Olderøy, Magnus Ø.; Sikorski, Pawel; Strand, Berit Løkensgard; Standal, Therese (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Mineralized biomaterials are promising for use in bone tissue engineering. Culturing osteogenic cells in such materials will potentially generate biological bone grafts that may even further augment bone healing. Here, ...
