Penetration and intracellular uptake of poly(glycerol-adipate)nanoparticles into 3-dimensional brain tumour cell culture models (2016)
Journal Article
Meng, W., Garnett, M. C., Walker, D. A., & Parker, T. L. (2016). Penetration and intracellular uptake of poly(glycerol-adipate)nanoparticles into 3-dimensional brain tumour cell culture models. Experimental Biology and Medicine, 241(5), https://doi.org/10.1177/1535370215610441

Nanoparticle (NP) drug delivery systems may potentially enhance the efficacy of therapeutic agents. It is difficult to characterise many important properties of NPs in vivo and therefore attempts have been made to use realistic in vitro multicellular...

In vitro co-culture model of medulloblastoma and human neural stem cells for drug delivery assessment (2015)
Journal Article
Ivanova, D. P., Parker, T. L., Walker, D. A., Alexander, C., Ashford, M. B., Gellert, P. R., & Garnett, M. C. (2015). In vitro co-culture model of medulloblastoma and human neural stem cells for drug delivery assessment. Journal of Biotechnology, 205, 3-13. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiotec.2015.01.002

Physiologically relevant in vitro models can serve as biological analytical platforms for testing novel treatments and drug delivery systems. We describe the first steps in the development of a 3D human brain tumour co-culture model that includes the...

Multiplexing Spheroid Volume, Resazurin and Acid Phosphatase Viability Assays for High-Throughput Screening of Tumour Spheroids and Stem Cell Neurospheres (2014)
Journal Article
Alexander, C., Ivanov, D. P., WALKER, D., Parker, T. L., GARNETT, M., Ashford, M. B., & Gellert, P. R. (2014). Multiplexing Spheroid Volume, Resazurin and Acid Phosphatase Viability Assays for High-Throughput Screening of Tumour Spheroids and Stem Cell Neurospheres. PLoS ONE, 9(8), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0103817

Three-dimensional cell culture has many advantages over monolayer cultures, and spheroids have been hailed as the best current representation of small avascular tumours in vitro. However their adoption in regular screening programs has been hindered...
