Characterization of oligodendrocyte progenitor cell differentiation on co-electrospun nanofibers of PCL with gelatin
Shrestha, Bikesh; Ceylan, Muhammet; Moon, Alex (Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2013-05-08)Axonal re-myelination in injured central nervous system (CNS) has been a scientific challenge. Focal delivery of Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cells (OPCs) provides promising approach. We used a novel bioengineering technique ... -
Hydrogels mediate cell migration for neural regeneration
Seyedhassantehrani, Negar (Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2015-04-24)Spinal cord injury is a significant health problem in the world and 500,000 new spinal cord injuries are reported every year. Biomaterial hydrogels are promising scaffolds that can support neural cell migration and conduct ... -
Induced pluripotent stem cell-seeded collagen scaffolds as a mechanism for regeneration after spinal cord injury
DeBrot, Ashley (Wichita State University, 2018-04-27)Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) are highly debilitating conditions for which no effective treatment or cure currently exists. Stem cell replacement therapies may offer hope to people suffering with SCIs. The use of biomaterial ... -
Injectable cross-linked chitosan hydrogel for controlled drug release applications
Saeednia, Leyla (Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2015-04-24)Hydrogels are 3dimentional polymeric networks that are able to absorb a significant amount of water or any biological fluid. Hydrogels have shown unique biometric properties that make them desirable for biomedical applications ... -
Injectable hydrogel provides growth-permissive environment for human nucleus pulposus cells
Priyadarshani, Priyanka (Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2015-04-24)Intervertebral discs within the human spine act as shock absorbers between each of the vertebrae in the spinal column. As we age, disc cells are constantly subjugated to degenerating stress by various mechanical and ...
