Stem cells within gel microenvironments

This invention provides a system to embed stem cells within three-dimensional (3D) hydrogel microenvironments consisting of naturally derived proteins, proteoglycans and / or polysaccharides. Pure matrices or combinations of materials can be used. The method involves suspending stem cells in solutions of the matrix components of interest, emulsifying these solutions in a hydrophobic phase, triggering gelation of the matrix components by changing the environmental conditions, and collection of the resulting hydrogel beads. The unique bead format of this invention has the advantage of allowing the use of small amounts of rare matrix proteins. Bead preparations can be concentrated into a paste for use as a cell delivery vehicle to damaged tissues, either directly after encapsulation or after a period of culture to promote stem cell differentiation. Defined 3D microenvironments can guide stem cell differentiation, and the resulting beads can be used directly as a cell delivery vehicle in various tissue repair applications.

Magnetic Nanoparticles and Uses Thereof

Magnetic nanoparticles are provided that have a superparamagnetic core and a nanoporous silica shell surrounding the core. The shell is functionalized with amine or S-nitrosothiol groups both inside and outside the nanopores. A process to provide such nanoparticles involves hydrolyzing tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) in a microemulsion of a superparamagnetic nanoparticle to form a superparamagnetic nanoparticle encapsulated by an incompletely hydrolyzed nanoporous silica shell, and hydrolyzing an amine-containing compound or a thiol-containing compound in situ in the presence of the incompletely hydrolyzed nanoporous silica shell before hydrolysis and densification of the silica shell is complete to functionalize the nanoporous silica shell with amine or thiol groups both inside and outside the nanopores and to maintain nanoporosity of the shell. Such magnetic nanoparticles are useful as carriers for chemical or biological species, particularly for magnetic resonance imaging, optical imaging, targeted drug delivery, cell delivery and magnetic separation applications.
