LC-MS metabolomics comparisons of cancer cell and macrophage responses to methotrexate and polymer-encapsulated methotrexate (2019)
Journal Article

Methotrexate (MTX) is a folate analogue antimetabolite widely used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and cancer. A number of studies have shown that MTX delivered via nanoparticle carriers is more potent against cancer cells than free MTX, a...

A composite Gelatin/hyaluronic acid hydrogel as an ECM mimic for developing mesenchymal stem cell derived epithelial tissue patches (2019)
Journal Article

Here we report fabrication of Gelatin based biocomposite films and their application in developing epithelial patches. The films were loaded with an epithelial cell growth factor cocktail and used as an extracellular matrix mimic (ECM mimic) for in v...

The Cross-Talk between miR-511-3p and C-Type Lectin Receptors on Dendritic Cells Affects Dendritic Cell Function (2019)
Journal Article

MicroRNAs are small, noncoding RNAs that function as posttranscriptional modulators of gene expression by binding target mRNAs and inhibiting translation. They are therefore crucial regulators of several biological as well as immunological events. Re...

Nanofibrous scaffolds support a 3D in vitro permeability model of the human intestinal epitheleum (2019)
Journal Article

Advances in drug research not only depend on high throughput screening to evaluate large numbers of lead compounds but also on the development of in vitro models which can simulate human tissues in terms of drug permeability and functions. Potential... Read More about Nanofibrous scaffolds support a 3D in vitro permeability model of the human intestinal epitheleum.

Editorial: Adverse reactions to biomaterials: State of the art in biomaterial risk assessment, immunomodulation and in vitro models for biomaterial testing (2019)
Journal Article

Investigating the intracellular effects of hyperbranched polycation-DNA complexes on lung cancer cells using LC-MS-based metabolite profiling (2019)
Journal Article

Cationic polymers have emerged as a promising alternative to viral vectors in gene therapy. They are cheap to scale up, easy to functionalise and also presume to be safer than the viral vectors, however many of them are cytotoxic. The large number of...

A foreign body response-on-a-chip platform (2019)
Journal Article

Understanding the foreign body response (FBR) and desiging strategies to modulate such a response represent a grand challenge for implant devices and biomaterials. Here, the development of a microfluidic platform is reported, i.e., the FBR‐on‐a‐chip... Read More about A foreign body response-on-a-chip platform.
