Intrinsic Cellular Responses of Human Wharton's Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells Influenced by O-Plasma-Modified and Unmodified Surface of Alkaline-Hydrolyzed 2D and 3D PCL Scaffolds.

Polycaprolactone (PCL), a hydrophobic-degradable polyester, has been widely investigated and extensively developed, to increase the biocompatibility for tissue engineering. This research was the first trial to evaluate the intrinsic biological responses of human Wharton's Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hWJMSCs) cultured on alkaline hydrolysis and low-pressure oxygen plasma modified 2D and 3D PCL scaffolds, without adding any differentiation inducers; this has not been reported before. Four types of the substrate were newly established: 2D plasma-treated PCL (2D-TP), 2D non-plasma-treated PCL (2D-NP), 3D plasma-treated PCL (3D-TP), and 3D non-plasma-treated PCL (3D-NP).

Metagenome data of bacterial diversity in pear ( L.) rhizospheres associated with infection and amino acid treatment.

The bacterial diversity in rhizosphere soil of pear trees ( L. cv. ) from an orchard at Thessaly region of Greece was characterized employing amplicon-based metagenomics analysis.
