A versatile pre-vascularized construct for tissue engineering of the vascular wall, skin and bone. A: Mesenchymal stem cells and endothelial cells spontaneously form pre-capillaries in a hydrogel. This assembly is then the basis for the formation of the tunica intima and media complex of the vascular wall (B), the dermal-epidermal construct of the skin (C), and vascularized bone tissue (D).

About the Laboratory

Irreversible damage to essential tissues and organs, such as blood vessels, heart valves, bones, joints, cartilage, or skin, is a serious and common consequence of modern lifestyles. It relates to various metabolic disorders, as well as injuries resulting from traffic, sports, and work-related activities. Congenital defects, along with physiological wear and tear and the natural aging process, also contribute to this issue.

Our laboratory traditionally concentrates on three main areas: tissue engineering of blood vessels, skin, and connective tissues, including bone and cartilage. Within each of these areas, we focus on three key tasks:

(1) improving existing tissue replacements, especially by adding cellular and other biological components,

(2) developing completely new replacements using synthetic and natural biomaterials along with cells,

(3) creating three-dimensional (3D) tissue models in vitro for various physiological, pathophysiological, and pharmacological studies aimed at replacing laboratory animals in modern science, following the 3R principle. Examples include in vitro models of hypertrophic scars, Dupuytren’s contracture, and orthopedic defects such as clubfoot (Pes equinovarus).

Our subsidiary laboratory at BIOCEV in Vestec, near Prague (led by Dr. Yuriy Petrenko), is dedicated to developing tissue models based on spheroids and organoids, including the in vitro glioblastoma model.

We utilize differentiated cells (endothelial, smooth muscle, fibroblasts, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes) or stem cells (derived from adipose tissue, bone marrow, Wharton’s jelly of the umbilical cord, or induced pluripotent stem cells) as the cellular component of our constructs. Cell growth, differentiation, and phenotypic maturation are sped up by mechanical stimulation in dynamic bioreactors. We also develop 3D bioprinting of biological and synthetic matrices that incorporate cells. Additionally, we introduce pre-vascularization into our tissue constructs, which is essential for the survival of the construct after implantation and for it to function properly as an in vitro tissue model.

Achievements

 

Laboratory of Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering -

Differentiated cells grow slower and have a limited viability in cell culture conditions. Isolation of differentiated cells from the patient does not eliminate the problem with other additive operations and damage of the other tissues of the patient. For example, for obtaining endothelial or the smooth muscle cells for reconstruction of blood vessels must remove part of subcutaneous veins from the patient. Stem cells from the patient’s body can be obtained still more simply, e.g. blood sampling (endothelial progenitor cells), puncture bone marrow of the bone tissue under the skin, e.g. from the hip bone, liposuction of fat tissue. Therefore, in collaboration with Hospital Motol we try to differentiate adipose stem cells into vascular or bone cells for the colonization of our constructs.
