Journal Article
Ruiter, F. A., Sidney, L. E., Kiick, K. L., Segal, J. I., Alexander, C., & Rose, F. R. A. J. (2020). The electrospinning of a thermo-responsive polymer with peptide conjugates for phenotype support and extracellular matrix production of therapeutically relevant mammalian cells. Biomaterials Science, 8(9), 2611-2626. https://doi.org/10.1039/c9bm01965k

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...

In vitro evaluation of electrospun blends of gelatin and PCL for application as a partial thickness corneal graft (2018)
Journal Article
Rose, J., Sidney, L., Patient, J., White, L., Dua, H., El Haj, A., …Rose, F. (2018). In vitro evaluation of electrospun blends of gelatin and PCL for application as a partial thickness corneal graft. Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, 107(4), 828-838. https://doi.org/10.1002/jbm.a.36598

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...

Geometry alone influences stem cell differentiation in a precision 3D printed stem cell niche (2018)
Working Paper
Prina, E., Sidney, L., Tromayer, M., Moore, J., Liska, R., Bertolin, M., …Rose, F. R. Geometry alone influences stem cell differentiation in a precision 3D printed stem cell niche

Stem cells within epithelial tissues reside in anatomical structures known as crypts that are known to contribute to the mechanical and chemical milieu important for function. To date, epithelial stem cell therapies have largely ignored the niche and... Read More about Geometry alone influences stem cell differentiation in a precision 3D printed stem cell niche.
