Porous phosphate-based glass microspheres show biocompatibility, tissue infiltration and osteogenic onset in an ovine bone defect model (2019)
Journal Article

Phosphate-based glasses (PBG) are bioactive and fully degradable materials with tailorable degradation rates. PBGs can be produced as porous microspheres through a single-step process, using changes in their formulation and geometry to produce varyin...

Impaired circulating myeloid CD1c+ dendritic cell function in human glioblastoma is restored by p38 inhibition - implications for the next generation of DC vaccines (2019)
Journal Article

Current treatments for glioblastoma (GBM) have limited efficacy and significant morbidity and therefore new strategies are urgently needed. Dendritic cells have the power to create anti-tumour immune responses. The greater potency of circulating den...

Enhanced notch signaling modulates unproductive revascularization in response to nitric oxide-angiopoietin signaling in a mouse model of peripheral ischemia (2019)
Journal Article

Introduction Arteriolargenesis can be induced by concomitant stimulation of nitric Oxide (NO)?Angiopoietin receptor (Tie)?Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) signaling in the rat mesentery angiogenesis assay. We hypothesized that the same comb...

Penetration and uptake of Nanoparticles in 3D tumour spheroids (2019)
Journal Article

Animal models are effective for assessing tumour localisation of nanosystems, but difficult to use for studying penetration beyond the vasculature. Here, we have used well-characterised HCT116 colorectal cancer spheroids to study the effect of nanopa... Read More about Penetration and uptake of Nanoparticles in 3D tumour spheroids.

Refractoriness to rituximab-based therapy and elevated serum B2-microglobulin predict for inferior survival in marginal zone lymphoma (2019)
Journal Article

Short responses to immunochemotherapy predict for an inferior OS in follicular lymphoma. We set out to determine whether this is also the case in marginal zone lymphoma. A group of 139 marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) patients treated with front-line imm...

Magnetically Assisted Control of Stem Cells Applied in 2D, 3D and In Situ Models of Cell Migration (2019)
Journal Article

The success of cell therapy approaches is greatly dependent on the ability to precisely deliver and monitor transplanted stem cell grafts at treated sites. Iron oxide particles, traditionally used in vivo for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have be...
