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...

Evaluation of skeletal tissue repair, Part 1: Assessment of novel growth-factor-releasing hydrogels in an ex vivo chick femur defect model (2014)
Journal Article

Current clinical treatments for skeletal conditions resulting in large-scale bone loss include autograft or allograft, both of which have limited effectiveness. In seeking to address bone regeneration, several tissue engineering strategies have come...

Evaluation of skeletal tissue repair, Part 2: Enhancement of skeletal tissue repair through dual-growth-factor-releasing hydrogels within an ex vivo chick femur defect model (2014)
Journal Article

There is an unmet need for improved, effective tissue engineering strategies to replace or repair bone damaged through disease or injury. Recent research has focused on developing biomaterial scaffolds capable of spatially and temporally releasing co...

Self-reporting Scaffolds for 3-Dimensional Cell Culture (2013)
Journal Article
Harrington, H., Rose, F. R., Aylott, J. W., & Ghaemmaghami, A. M. (2013). Self-reporting Scaffolds for 3-Dimensional Cell Culture. Journal of Visualized Experiments, https://doi.org/10.3791/50608

Culturing cells in 3D on appropriate scaffolds is thought to better mimic the in vivo microenvironment and increase cell-cell interactions. The resulting 3D cellular construct can often be more relevant to studying the molecular events and cell-cell... Read More about Self-reporting Scaffolds for 3-Dimensional Cell Culture.

Adjuvant chemotherapy for brain tumors delivered via a novel intra-cavity moldable polymer matrix (2013)
