Cartilage-like Tissue Generation By 3D-Bioprinting of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Background/Purpose: Cartilage lesions due to traumatic or pathological conditions slowly grow over the time and may lead to osteoarthritis (OA). As a prospective treatment for…Abstract Number: 966 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
In Search of Mechanisms Underlying Fibroblast-like Synoviocyte Cell-to-Cell Cargo Transfer
Background/Purpose: The synovium is primarily built by fibroblast-like-synoviocytes (FLS). These cells form a complex tissue network via long-distance connections (nanotubes) and wide intercellular matrix spaces.…Abstract Number: 178 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
3D Ultrasound Doppler Findings in Wrist Tendon Sheaths of Healthy Controls
Background/Purpose: Even though Doppler ultrasound (US) is used for diagnosing inflammation in arthritides, it is well-known that Doppler signals may be seen in healthy wrist…Abstract Number: 3143 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Mapping the Back-Door Routes into the Vascular Wall: 3D Microscopic Reconstruction of Microvasculature in the Normal Temporal Artery and in Giant Cell Arteritis
Background/Purpose: The arterial wall is nourished by microvessels (vasa vasorum), which are a potential route of entry for inflammatory cells in vasculitis. Little is known…Abstract Number: 36 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Use of Three-Dimensionally Printed β-Tricalcium Phosphate/Hydroxyapatite to Further Understand the Regulation of Adenosine Receptors in Osteoclast Formation and Promotion in Bone Regeneration
Background/Purpose Bone defects resulting from trauma or infection need timely and effective treatments to restore damaged bone. Using specialized three-dimensional (3-D) printing technology, combined with…
