Human airway smooth muscle maintain in situ cell orientation and phenotype when cultured on aligned electrospun scaffolds (2014)
Journal Article
Morris, G., Bridge, J., Eltboli, O., Lewis, M., Knox, A., Aylott, J. W., …Rose, F. R. (2014). Human airway smooth muscle maintain in situ cell orientation and phenotype when cultured on aligned electrospun scaffolds. AJP - Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 307(1), Article L38-L47. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajplung.00318.2013

Human airway smooth muscle (HASM) contraction plays a central role in regulating airway resistance in both healthy and asthmatic bronchioles. In vitro studies that investigate the intricate mechanisms that regulate this contractile process are predom...

Journal Article
Morris, G., Bridge, J., Brace, L., Knox, A., Aylott, J. W., Brightling, C., …Rose, F. R. (2014). A novel electrospun biphasic scaffold provides optimal three-dimensional topography forin vitroco-culture of airway epithelial and fibroblast cells. Biofabrication, 6(3), Article 035014. https://doi.org/10.1088/1758-5082/6/3/035014

Conventional airway in vitro models focus upon the function of individual structural cells cultured in a two-dimensional monolayer, with limited three-dimensional (3D) models of the bronchial mucosa. Electrospinning offers an attractive method to pro...

Direct-write bioprinting of cell-laden methacrylated gelatin hydrogels (2014)
Journal Article
Bertassoni, L. E., Cardoso, J. C., Manoharan, V., Cristino, A. L., Bhise, N. S., Araujo, W. A., …Khademhosseini, A. (2015). Direct-write bioprinting of cell-laden methacrylated gelatin hydrogels. Biofabrication, 6(2), 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1088/1758-5082/6/2/024105

Fabrication of three dimensional (3D) organoids with controlled microarchitectures has been shown to enhance tissue functionality. Bioprinting can be used to precisely position cells and cell-laden materials to generate controlled tissue architecture...

Immunocompetent 3D model of human upper airway for disease modeling and in vitro drug evaluation (2014)
Journal Article
Harrington, H., Cato, P., Salazar, F., Wilkinson, M., Knox, A., Haycock, J. W., …Ghaemmaghami, A. M. (2014). Immunocompetent 3D model of human upper airway for disease modeling and in vitro drug evaluation. Molecular Pharmaceutics, 11(7), 2082-2091. https://doi.org/10.1021/mp5000295

The development of more complex in vitro models for the assessment of novel drugs and chemicals is needed because of the limited biological relevance of animal models to humans as well as ethical considerations. Although some human-cell-based assays... Read More about Immunocompetent 3D model of human upper airway for disease modeling and in vitro drug evaluation.
