Designing materials to direct stem-cell fate

MP Lutolf, PM Gilbert, HM Blau - Nature, 2009 - nature.com
Proper tissue function and regeneration rely on robust spatial and temporal control of
biophysical and biochemical microenvironmental cues through mechanisms that remain poorly …

Substrate elasticity regulates skeletal muscle stem cell self-renewal in culture

…, NA Leonardi, P Kraft, NK Nguyen, S Thrun, MP Lutolf… - Science, 2010 - science.org
Stem cells that naturally reside in adult tissues, such as muscle stem cells (MuSCs), exhibit
robust regenerative capacity in vivo that is rapidly lost in culture. Using a bioengineered …

Synthetic biomaterials as instructive extracellular microenvironments for morphogenesis in tissue engineering

MP Lutolf, JA Hubbell - Nature biotechnology, 2005 - nature.com
New generations of synthetic biomaterials are being developed at a rapid pace for use as
three-dimensional extracellular microenvironments to mimic the regulatory characteristics of …

Synthetic matrix metalloproteinase-sensitive hydrogels for the conduction of tissue regeneration: engineering cell-invasion characteristics

MP Lutolf, JL Lauer-Fields… - Proceedings of the …, 2003 - National Acad Sciences
Synthetic hydrogels have been molecularly engineered to mimic the invasive characteristics
of native provisional extracellular matrices: a combination of integrin-binding sites and …

Repair of bone defects using synthetic mimetics of collagenous extracellular matrices

MP Lutolf, FE Weber, HG Schmoekel, JC Schense… - Nature …, 2003 - nature.com
We have engineered synthetic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)–based hydrogels as cell-ingrowth
matrices for in situ bone regeneration. These networks contain a combination of pendant …

[HTML][HTML] Engineering organoids

M Hofer, MP Lutolf - Nature Reviews Materials, 2021 - nature.com
Organoids are in vitro miniaturized and simplified model systems of organs that have gained
enormous interest for modelling tissue development and disease, and for personalized …

Designer matrices for intestinal stem cell and organoid culture

…, ME Bragina, P Ordóñez-Morán, H Clevers, MP Lutolf - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
Epithelial organoids recapitulate multiple aspects of real organs, making them promising
models of organ development, function and disease 1 , 2 , 3 . However, the full potential of …

NAD+ repletion improves mitochondrial and stem cell function and enhances life span in mice

…, X Wang, P Luan, D D'Amico, ER Ropelle, MP Lutolf… - Science, 2016 - science.org
Adult stem cells (SCs) are essential for tissue maintenance and regeneration yet are
susceptible to senescence during aging. We demonstrate the importance of the amount of the …

Homeostatic mini-intestines through scaffold-guided organoid morphogenesis

…, I Kolotuev, N Gjorevski, H Clevers, MP Lutolf - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
Epithelial organoids, such as those derived from stem cells of the intestine, have great potential
for modelling tissue and disease biology 1 , 2 , 3 – 4 . However, the approaches that are …

Progress and potential in organoid research

G Rossi, A Manfrin, MP Lutolf - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2018 - nature.com
Tissue and organ biology are very challenging to study in mammals, and progress can be
hindered, particularly in humans, by sample accessibility and ethical concerns. However, …
