In vitro and in vivo bioluminescent imaging of hypoxia in tissue-engineered graftsJun Liu
Department of Tissue Regeneration, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands
Tissue Eng Part C Methods 16:479-85. 2010..We conclude that this reporter system is a versatile tool to investigate cellular O(2) availability in TE both in vitro and in vivo...
Timing, rather than the concentration of cyclic AMP, correlates to osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cellsRamakrishnaiah Siddappa
MIRA Institute for Biomedical Technology and Technical Medicine, Department of Tissue Regeneration, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands
J Tissue Eng Regen Med 4:356-65. 2010..Taken together, our results demonstrate that cAMP can either stimulate or inhibit osteogenesis in hMSCs, depending on the duration, rather than the strength, of the signal provided...
cAMP/PKA signaling inhibits osteogenic differentiation and bone formation in rodent modelsRamakrishnaiah Siddappa
Department of Tissue Regeneration, Institute for Biomedical Technology, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands
Tissue Eng Part A 15:2135-43. 2009..The species discrepancy in response to various osteogenic signals is a critical need to be tested in clinically relevant models to translate the fundamental findings in lower species level to clinical applications...
Noninvasive imaging of bone-specific collagen I expression in a luciferase transgenic mouse modelJun Liu
Department of Tissue Regeneration, MIRA Research Institute, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands
Tissue Eng Part C Methods 16:1297-304. 2010..We conclude that Col(I)-Luc transgenic mice can be applied in the field of bone tissue engineering for monitoring bone repair processes and for investigating osteoinductive molecules or scaffolds...
The effect of PKC activation and inhibition on osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cellsJun Liu
Mira Institute for Biomedical Technology, Department of Tissue Regeneration, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands
J Tissue Eng Regen Med 4:329-39. 2010..In conclusion, inhibition of the conventional PKCs/PKCmicro and activation of PKCdelta could further benefit osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs in vitro and in vivo, which is currently under investigation...
Sonic Hedgehog-activated engineered blood vessels enhance bone tissue formationNicolas C Rivron
Department of Tissue Regeneration, MIRA Institute for Biomedical Technology and Technical Medicine, 7500AE, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 109:4413-8. 2012..These findings open the door for new strategies to treat large bone defects by closely mimicking natural endochondral bone repair...

Biomaterials 30:6228-39. 2009..Under dynamic conditions, medium flow through the channels improves nutrient availability to the cells on the various layers, drastically increasing cell proliferation on all layers...
The response of human mesenchymal stem cells to osteogenic signals and its impact on bone tissue engineeringRamakrishnaiah Siddappa
University of Twente, Institute for Biomedical Technology, Department of Tissue Regeneration, P O Box 217, Enschede 7500 AE, The Netherlands
Curr Stem Cell Res Ther 2:209-20. 2007..We will discuss how and to what extent the process is different from that in other cell types with special emphasis on applications in bone tissue engineering...
