The Characterization of Serum-Free Media on Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Fibrochondrogenesis.
Developing fibrochondrogenic serum-free media is important for regenerating diseased and injured fibrocartilage but no defined protocols exist. Towards this goal, we characterized the effect of four candidate fibrochondrogenic serum-free media containing transforming growth factor beta-3 (TGF-β3), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) with high/low glucose and with/without dexamethasone on human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) via proliferation and differentiation assays. In Ki67 proliferation assays, serum-free media containing low glucose and dexamethasone exhibited the highest growth. In gene expression assays, serum-free media containing low glucose and commercially available chondrogenic media (COM) induced high fibrochondrogenic transcription factor expression (scleraxis/SCX and SRY-Box Transcription Factor 9/SOX9) and extracellular matrix (ECM) protein levels (aggrecan/ACAN, collagen type I/COL1A1, and collagen type II/COL2A1), respectively. In immunofluorescence staining, serum-free media containing high glucose and COM induced high fibrochondrogenic transcription factor (SCX and SOX9) and ECM protein (COL1A1, COL2A1, and collagen type X/COL10A1) levels, respectively. In cytochemical staining, COM and serum-free media containing dexamethasone showed a high collagen content whereas serum-free media containing high glucose and dexamethasone exhibited high glycosaminoglycan (GAG) levels. Altogether, defined serum-free media containing high glucose exhibited the highest fibrochondrogenic potential. In summary, this work studied conditions conducive for fibrochondrogenesis, which may be further optimized for potential applications in fibrocartilage tissue engineering.

Aims
Bioengineering (ISSN 2306-5354) provides an advanced forum for the science and technology of bioengineering. It publishes original research papers, comprehensive reviews, communications and case reports. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. All aspects of bioengineering are welcomed from theoretical concepts to education and applications. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, four key features of this Journal:
● We are introducing a new concept in scientific and technical publications “The Translational Case Report in Bioengineering”. It is a descriptive explanatory analysis of a transformative or translational event. Understanding that the goal of bioengineering scholarship is to advance towards a transformative or clinical solution to an identified transformative/clinical need, the translational case report is used to explore causation in order to find underlying principles that may guide other similar transformative/translational undertakings.
● Manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed.
● Electronic files and software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
● We also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds.
