The electrospinning of a thermo-responsive polymer with peptide conjugates for phenotype support and extracellular matrix production of therapeutically relevant mammalian cells (2020)
Journal Article

Current cell expansion methods for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications rely on the use of enzymatic digestion passaging and 2D platforms. However, this enzymatic treatment significantly reduces cell quality, due to the destructi...

A thermoresponsive three-dimensional fibrous cell culture platform for enzyme-free expansion of mammalian cells (2019)
Journal Article

A three-dimensional thermoresponsive fibrous scaffold system for the subsequent extended culture and enzyme-free passaging of a range of mammalian cell types is presented. Poly(PEGMA188) was incorporated with poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) via bl...

In vitro evaluation of electrospun blends of gelatin and PCL for application as a partial thickness corneal graft (2018)
Journal Article

The advent of innovative surgical procedures utilizing partial thickness corneal grafts has created a need for the development of synthetic implants to recreate corneal stromal tissue. This work evaluates electrospun gelatin and polycaprolactone (PCL...

Recapitulation of tumor heterogeneity and molecular signatures in a 3D brain cancer model with decreased sensitivity to histone deacetylase inhibition (2012)
Journal Article

INTRODUCTION Physiologically relevant pre-clinical ex vivo models recapitulating CNS tumor micro-environmental complexity will aid development of biologically-targeted agents. We present comprehensive characterization of tumor aggregates generated...
