Reversed-engineered human alveolar lung-on-a-chip model (2021)
Journal Article
Huang, D., Liu, T., Liao, J., Maharjan, S., Xie, X., Pérez, M., …Zhang, Y. S. (2021). Reversed-engineered human alveolar lung-on-a-chip model. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 118(19), Article e2016146118. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2016146118

Here, we present a physiologically relevant model of the human pulmonary alveoli. This alveolar lung-on-a-chip platform is composed of a three-dimensional porous hydrogel made of gelatin methacryloyl with an inverse opal structure, bonded to a compar...

Immune-Instructive Polymers Control Macrophage Phenotype and Modulate the Foreign Body Response In Vivo (2020)
Journal Article
Rostam, H. M., Fisher, L. E., Hook, A. L., Burroughs, L., Luckett, J. C., Figueredo, G. P., …Ghaemmaghami, A. M. (2020). Immune-Instructive Polymers Control Macrophage Phenotype and Modulate the Foreign Body Response In Vivo. Matter, 2(6), 1564-1581. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matt.2020.03.018

© 2020 The Author(s) Implantation of medical devices can result in inflammation. A large library of polymers is screened, and a selection found to promote macrophage differentiation towards pro- or anti-inflammatory phenotypes. The bioinstructive pro...

Photocrosslinkable gelatin hydrogels modulate the production of the major pro-inflammatory cytokine, TNF-α, by human mononuclear cells (2018)
Journal Article
Donaldson, A. R., Edi Tanase, C., Awuah, D., Vasanthi Bathri Narayanan, P., Hall, L., Nikkhah, M., …Ghaemmaghami, A. M. (2018). Photocrosslinkable gelatin hydrogels modulate the production of the major pro-inflammatory cytokine, TNF-α, by human mononuclear cells. Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 6, Article 116. https://doi.org/10.3389/fbioe.2018.00116

Hydrogels are an attractive class of biomaterials in tissue engineering due to their inherently compatible properties for cell culture. Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) has shown significant promise in the fields of tissue engineering and drug delivery,...
