Early differentiation patterning of mouse embryonic stem cells in response to variations in alginate substrate stiffness
9 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been implicated to have tremendous impact in regenerative therapeutics of various diseases, including Type 1 Diabetes. Upon generation of functionally mature ESC derived islet-like cells, they need to be implanted into diabetic patients to restore the loss of islet activity. Encapsulation in alginate microcapsules is a promising route of implantation, which can protect...
