Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are pluripotent and have the ability to differentiate into mineralising cells in vitro. The use of pluripotent cells in engineered bone substitutes will benefit from the development of bioactive scaffolds which encourage cell differentiation and tissue development. Extrac

The authors have brought to our attention an error in the figure legend for Figure 5E (the mRNA gel image). The correct version for Figure 5E should be: (E) Osteogenic differentiation was also assessed at the genetic level using reverse-transcriptase PCR. Osteocalcin mRNA levels were upregulated in
## Abstract Cues from the material to which a cell is adherent (e.g., adhesion ligand presentation, substrate elastic modulus) clearly influence the phenotype of differentiated cells. However, it is currently unclear if stem cells respond similarly to these cues. This study examined how the overall
## Abstract The interaction between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) is essential during development. To elucidate the function of ECM proteins on cell differentiation, we developed biomimetic surfaces that display specific ECM peptide motifs in a controlled manner. Presentation of ECM doma
## Abstract Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are characterized by their abilities to differentiate into different lineages, including osteoblasts. Besides soluble factors, mechanical strain and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins play important roles in osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. Howe
Osteoblasts and adipocytes are derived from a common precursor in bone marrow, the mesenchymal stem cell (MSC). Factors driving human MSCs (hMSCs) to differentiate down the two lineages play important roles in determining bone density because it has been shown that bone volume loss associated with o
