Scleraxis -Overexpressed Human Embryonic Stem Cell–Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Tendon Tissue Engineering with Knitted Silk-Collagen Scaffold
13 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
AIM: Despite our previous study that demonstrates that human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can be used as seed cells for tendon tissue engineering after stepwise induction, suboptimal tendon regeneration implies that a new strategy needs to be developed for tendon repair. We investigated whether overexpression of the tendon-specific transcription factor scleraxis (SCX) in hESC-derived mesenchymal stem cells...
