"3D Tri-Culture Platforms for Examining Paracrine Crosstalk Effects of Stem and Native Cells"
The bone marrow niche for mesenchymal stem cells contains varying amounts of bone and fat with age and certain pathologies, constituting a complex, dynamic microenvironment. We have developed an enabling platform to model this in vitro that allows interrogation of paracrine interactions between tissue-scale, laminated hydrogel modules of multiple cell types in tandem, coupled with on-demand release of cells for further downstream applications.
The Graduate and Post-Doc (GaP) Seminar Series is a weekly event of research presentations by two graduate students or post-docs conducting bio-related research. The series is organized and sponsored by the Parker H. Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience (IBB) with additional support from the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering. It is held every Wednesday at 12:00pm in IBB 1128 and refreshments are provided. If your research group or department would like to present at future seminars, please contact Manu Platt, PhD at manu.platt@bme.gatech.edu.
