Abstract

Here we report the design of a unique matrix, assembled from engineered M13 phage bionanofibers with specific cues of nanotopographies and versatile signal peptides to simulate native niche for directing the fate of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). By independently varying the peptide sequences and nanotopographies, we find that the resident iPSCs on the phage matrix are first differentiated into mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs), which are further differentiated into osteoblasts in the absence of osteogenic supplements due to the elongation induced by phage nanofibers. The phage-based matrix represents not only a biomimetic stem cell niche enabling independently varying biochemical and biophysical cues in one system but also a substrate for generating a safe and efficient cell source for tissue engineering.

  • Implantation of seed cells such as hADSCs faces significant challenges including immune rejection, teratoma formation, and undirected cell differentiation.

    “However, the implantation of seed cells, such as hADSCs, faces significant challenges, including immune rejection [6], teratoma formation [7] and undirected cell differentiation [8].”

    From Exosome-functionalized magnesium-organic framework-based scaffolds with osteogenic, angiogenic and anti-inflammatory properties for accelerated bone regeneration. (2022) · cites this paper as [7]

    Citation [8] is attached to undirected cell differentiation, not the separately cited immune-rejection and teratoma claims. The paper’s introductory passage (indexed under Abstract; page unavailable) says directing iPSCs toward osteoblastic differentiation is a challenge, but it does not establish undirected differentiation as a challenge when implanting hADSCs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
