Collagen nanofiber anisotropy induces myotube differentiation and acetylcholine receptor clustering
Abstract To create musculoskeletal tissue scaffolds for functional integration into host tissue, myotubes must be properly aligned with native tissue and spur the formation of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). However, our understanding of myoblast differentiation in response to structural alignment is incomplete. To examine how substrate anisotropy mediates myotube differentiation, we studied C2C12 myoblasts grown on aligned collagen substrates in the presence or absence of agrin. Myoblasts grown on microfluidically patterned collagen substrates demonstrated increased multinucleated myotubes and nicotinic acetylcholine rece...

Meniscus ECM ‐functionalised hydrogels containing infrapatellar fat pad‐derived stem cells for bioprinting of regionally defined meniscal tissue
The objective of this study was to develop a range of ECM‐functionalised bioinks suitable for 3D bioprinting of meniscal tissue. To this end, alginate hydrogels were functionalised with ECM derived from the inner and outer regions of the meniscus and loaded with infrapatellar fat pad‐derived stem cells. In the absence of exogenously supplied growth factors, inner meniscus ECM promoted chondrogenesis of fat pad‐derived stem cells, whereas outer meniscus ECM promoted a more elongated cell morphology and the development of a more fibroblastic phenotype. With exogenous growth factors supplementation, a more fibrogenic ph...

Cell yield, chondrogenic potential, and regenerated cartilage type of chondrocytes derived from ear, nasoseptal, and costal cartilage
Abstract Functional reconstruction of large cartilage defects in subcutaneous sites remains clinically challenging because of limited donor cartilage. Tissue engineering is a promising and widely accepted strategy for cartilage regeneration. To date, however, this strategy has not achieved a significant breakthrough in clinical translation owing to a lack of detailed preclinical data on cell yield and functionality of clinically applicable chondrocytes. To address this issue, the current study investigated the initial cell yield, proliferative potential, chondrogenic capacity, and regenerated cartilage type of human chondr...
