Phoonsuk Limraksasin 교수의 연구실은 유도만능줄기세포(iPSC)를 활용한 뼈 및 연골 조직 공학을 핵심으로 하며, 기계적 자극(예: 시어 스트레스, 흔들림 문화)이 세포 자가조직화 및 분화에 미치는 영향을 체계적으로 탐구하고 있습니다. 특히, 미세공간 배양 조건과 기계적 자극의 조합을 통해 고도로 구조화된 뼈·연골 조직을 <i>in vitro</i>에서 유도하고, 이들 구조물의 이식 후 뼈 재생 능력을 평가하는 데 초점을 맞추고 있습니다. 또한, 면역조절 및 ECM 조절 메커니즘을 통한 치주 tissue 재생 전략 개발도 함께 진행 중입니다.

Cell condensation and mechanical stimuli play roles in osteogenesis and chondrogenesis; thus, they are promising for facilitating self-organizing bone/cartilage tissue formation in vitro from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Here, single mouse iPSCs were first seeded in micro-space culture plates to form 3-dimensional spheres. At day 12, iPSC spheres were subjected to shaking culture and maintained in osteogenic induction medium for 31 days (Os induction). In another condition, the osteog
Mechanical loading on articular cartilage induces various mechanical stresses and strains. In vitro hydrodynamic forces such as compression, shear and tension impact various cellular properties including chondrogenic differentiation, leading us to hypothesize that shaking culture might affect the chondrogenic induction of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) constructs. Three-dimensional mouse iPSC constructs were fabricated in a day using U-bottom 96-well plates, and were subjected to prelimina
Microspace culture is promising for self-organization of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). However, the optimal size of microspaces for osteogenic differentiation is unclear. We hypothesized that a specific microspace size could facilitate self-organizing iPSC differentiation to form bone-like tissue <i>in vitro</i>. The objectives of this study were to investigate such effects of microspace size and to evaluate bone regeneration upon transplantation of the resulting osteogenic constructs.
The self-organizing potential of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) represents a promising tool for bone tissue engineering. Shear stress promotes the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, leading us to hypothesize that specific shear stress could enhance the osteogenic differentiation of iPSCs. For osteogenesis, embryoid bodies were formed for two days and then maintained in medium supplemented with retinoic acid for three days, followed by adherent culture in osteogenic ind
Various mechanical loadings, including mechanical stress, orthodontics forces, and masticatory force, affect the functions of periodontal ligament cells. Regulation of periodontal tissue destruction, formation, and differentiation functions are crucial processes for periodontal regeneration therapy. Numerous studies have reported that different types of mechanical loading play a role in maintaining periodontal tissue matrix homeostasis, and osteogenic differentiation of the periodontal ligament
eATP induced immunosuppressive function of hPDLCs by promoting IDO and IFNγ production via P<sub>2</sub> X<sub>7</sub> receptor signaling. eATP may become a promising target for periodontal regeneration by modulating immune response and further triggering tissue healing.
HPDLCs respond to LPS by releasing ATP. eATP has dose-dependent dual functions on HPDLCs' inflammatory responses via different pathways. As regulation of inflammation is important in regeneration, eATP may help to limit inflammation and trigger periodontal regeneration.
