Fetal subcutaneous cells have potential for autologous tissue engineering
ConclusionsFetal cells derived from subcutaneous tissue demonstrated favorable characteristics for preparation of autologous tissue transplants before birth. Our study supports the theory that cells could be obtained from the fetus during pregnancy for tissue engineering purposes after birth. In a future clinical situation, autologous transplants could be used for reconstructive surgery in severe congenital malformations. (Source: Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine)

Low ‐oxygen conditions promote synergistic increases in chondrogenesis during co‐culture of human osteoarthritic stem cells and chondrocytes
This study demonstrates that a co‐culture of freshly isolated human chondrocytes and FPSCs promotes robust chondrogenesis and thus is a promising cell combination for cartilage tissue engineering. (Source: Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine)

Hydrogel composition and laser micropatterning to regulate sciatic nerve regeneration
Abstract Treatment of peripheral nerve injuries has evolved over the past several decades to include the use of sophisticated new materials endowed with trophic and topographical cues that are essential for in vivo nerve fibre regeneration. In this research, we explored the use of an advanced design strategy for peripheral nerve repair, using biological and semi‐synthetic hydrogels that enable controlled environmental stimuli to regenerate neurons and glial cells in a rat sciatic nerve resection model. The provisional nerve growth conduits were composed of either natural fibrin or adducts of synthetic polyethylene glycol...
