Multifunctional Bioinstructive 3D Architectures to Modulate Cellular Behavior (2019)
Journal Article
Vaithilingam, J., Sanjuan‐Alberte, P., Campora, S., Rance, G. A., Jiang, L., Thorpe, J., …Rawson, F. J. (2019). Multifunctional Bioinstructive 3D Architectures to Modulate Cellular Behavior. Advanced Functional Materials, 29(38), Article 1902016. https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.201902016

Biological structures control cell behavior via physical, chemical, electrical, and mechanical cues. Approaches that allow us to build devices that mimic these cues in a combinatorial way are lacking due to there being no suitable instructive materia...

The influence of nanotexturing of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) films upon human ovarian cancer cell attachment (2016)
Journal Article
Ya?ayan, G., Xue, X., Collier, P., Clarke, P., Alexander, M. R., & Marlow, M. (2016). The influence of nanotexturing of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) films upon human ovarian cancer cell attachment. Nanotechnology, 27(25), https://doi.org/10.1088/0957-4484/27/25/255102

In this study, we have produced nanotextured poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) films by using polystyrene (PS) particles as a template to make a polydimethylsiloxane mould against which PLGA is solvent cast. Biocompatible, biodegradable and nanote... Read More about The influence of nanotexturing of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) films upon human ovarian cancer cell attachment.
