Mechanosensitivity of cardiomyocyte progenitor cells: the strain response in 2D and 3D environments

Noortje Bax

Eindhoven University of Technology

Noortje has finished her PhD under supervision of Prof. Dr Gittenberger-de Groot in the department of Anatomy and Embryology (LUMC). Here thesis Posterior heart field and epicardium in cardiac development/ PDGFRα and EMT was was defended on 13th of January 2011. From september 2010-2014 she worked on the project Myocardium in a Dish at the TU/e. As a short term fellow she visited the group of Prof. Vunjak-Novakovic at Columbia University in 2013. Her current project Myocardial unloading and stem cells: the next step in cardiac repair is funded by the Dutch Heart Foundation.

Abstract

Cardiomyocytes progenitor cells (CMPCs) are a candidate cell source for cardiac regenerative therapy. To assess their full potential for cardiac regeneration, it is essential to know if and how CMPCs sense and respond to the... [ view full abstract ]
