Biomimetic tissues on a chip for drug discovery (2011)
Journal Article
Ghaemmaghami, A. M., Hancock, M. J., Harrington, H., Kaji, H., & Khademhosseini, A. (2012). Biomimetic tissues on a chip for drug discovery. Drug Discovery Today, 17(3-4), 173-181. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.drudis.2011.10.029

Developing biologically relevant models of human tissues and organs is an important enabling step for disease modeling and drug discovery. Recent advances in tissue engineering, biomaterials and microfluidics have led to the development of microscale... Read More about Biomimetic tissues on a chip for drug discovery.

Uniform cell colonization of porous 3-D scaffolds achieved using radial control of surface chemistry (2011)
Journal Article
Intranuovo, F., Howard, D., White, L. J., Johal, R. K., Ghaemmaghami, A. M., Favia, P., …Alexander, M. R. (2011). Uniform cell colonization of porous 3-D scaffolds achieved using radial control of surface chemistry. Acta Biomaterialia, 7(9), 3336-3344. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actbio.2011.05.020

Uniform cellular distribution is a prerequisite to forming tissue within porous scaffolds, but the seeding process often results in preferential adhesion of cells at the periphery. We develop a vapour phase coating strategy which is readily applicabl... Read More about Uniform cell colonization of porous 3-D scaffolds achieved using radial control of surface chemistry.

Recognition of the major cat allergen Fel d 1 through the cysteine-rich domain of the mannose receptor determines its allergenicity (2011)
Journal Article
Emara, M., Royer, P. J., Abbas, Z., Sewell, H. F., Gebriel Mohamed, G., Singh, S., …Ghaemmaghami, A. M. (2011). Recognition of the major cat allergen Fel d 1 through the cysteine-rich domain of the mannose receptor determines its allergenicity. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 286(15), 13033-13040. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M111.220657

Dendritic cells are professional antigen-presenting cells that are specialized in antigen uptake and presentation. Allergy to cat has increased substantially in recent years and has been shown to be positively associated with asthma.Wehave recently s...
