Caveolin-1 mediates soft scaffold-enhanced adipogenesis of human mesenchymal stem cells

Abstract Background Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) can differentiate into adipocytes upon stimulation and are considered an appropriate cell source for adipose tissue engineering. In addition to biochemical cues, the stiffness of a substrate that cells attach to has also b...
