## Abstract The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a component of neural cell niches and regulates multiple functions of diverse cell types. To date, limited information is available concerning its biological effects on the growth properties of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs). In the present stu

Fas, which functions to initiate a signal causing apoptosis, is expressed in epithelia, thus, suggesting a role in controlling cell number during states of cell and matrix turnover. In view of this, we hypothesized that cell-matrix interactions may be an important determinant of Fas expression in ep
## Abstract Hydrogels provide an ideal environment for encapsulating chondrocytes and facilitating the production of cartilaginous tissue. However, the deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) and ultimate tissue function are significantly affected by degradation of gel scaffolds. It was hypothesiz
## Abstract We have designed and developed a microfluidic system to study the response of cells to controlled gradients of mechanical stiffness in 3D collagen gels. An βHββshaped, sourceβsink network was filled with a type I collagen solution, which selfβassembled into a fibrillar gel. A 1D gradien
