The "test-matrices" were engineered so that one particular property (e.g. low, intermediate and large intensity fluctuations and varying types of intensity gradients) was amplified so the influence of this feature could be tested.
Second, fusing matrix-binding domains to HGF could retard its diffusion, as was achieved recently with a number of growth factors that were engineered to have superaffinity to extracellular matrix.
Novel injection molded biocomposites were engineered from switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L). and a biodegradable matrix system.
Metal matrix composites are engineered materials which are a combination of two or more materials, one of which is a metal, whose tailored properties can be attained by systematic combination of different constituents.
Metal matrix composites are engineered materials combining two or more materials, one of which is a metal, where the tailored properties can be attained by systematic combination of different constituents.
Hydrogel matrices thus can be engineered to control cell behavior by providing appropriate biophysical cues initially and upon degradation.
Hydrogels are three-dimensional (3D) water-based matrices that can be engineered to incorporate bioactive cues and be biodegradable [12,13], thereby providing a pericellular microenvironment reminiscent of the native tissue for encapsulated cells [14].
Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are engineered synergistic combinations of two or more materials, where the geometrically continuous constituent is a metal, in which tailored properties are achieved by systematic combinations with different constituents.
Matrix-targeted mCherry was engineered by replacing the GFP construct of the pAcGFP1-Mito plasmid (Clontech), using BamHI and NotI restriction sites.
These findings provide evidence that in unison contracting structurally organized cell-matrix cardiac constructs can be engineered by use of co-cultures (neonatal cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts) and collagen matrices, which is very promising for the repair of larger scar areas of the myocardium.
