Increased antiparkinson efficacy of the combined administration of VEGF- and GDNF-loaded nanospheres in a partial lesion model of Parkinson's disease
(Dove Medical Press, 2014)
Current research efforts are focused on the application of growth factors, such as glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), as neuroregenerative approaches that will ...
Behavior And Ultrastructure Of Human Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Immobilized In Alginate-Poly-L-Lysine-Alginate Microcapsules
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-04-24)
Context: Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) show a great promise for the treatment of a variety of diseases. Despite the previous trials to encapsulate hBM-MSCs in alginate-poly-l-lysine-alginate (APA) ...
The synergistic effects of the RGD density and the microenvironment on the behavior of encapsulated cells: In vitro and in vivo direct comparative study
(John Wiley & Sons, 2014-11)
The inclusion of the tripeptide RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) in otherwise inert biomaterials employed for cell encapsulation has been observed to be an effective strategy to provide the immobilized cells with a more suitable ...
