Electrospun PLGA fibre sheets incorporating fluorescent nanosensors: Self-reporting scaffolds for application in tissue engineering (2012)
Journal Article
Harrington, H. C., Rose, F. R., Reinwald, Y., Buttery, L. D., Ghaemmaghami, A. M., & Aylott, J. W. (2013). Electrospun PLGA fibre sheets incorporating fluorescent nanosensors: Self-reporting scaffolds for application in tissue engineering. Analytical Methods, 5(1), 68-71. https://doi.org/10.1039/c2ay25771h

Ratiometric analyte responsive nanosensors have been incorporated into electrospun poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) fibres to create self-reporting scaffolds. It has been demonstrated that the self-reporting scaffolds could be utilised to monitor...

Mammalian innate resistance to highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus infection is mediated through reduced proinflammation and infectious virus release (2012)
Journal Article
Nelli, R. K., Dunham, S. P., Kuchipudi, S. V., White, G. A., Baquero-Perez, B., Pengxiang, C., …Chang, K. (2012). Mammalian innate resistance to highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 virus infection is mediated through reduced proinflammation and infectious virus release. Journal of Virology, 86(17), https://doi.org/10.1128/JVI.00244-12

Respiratory epithelial cells and macrophages are the key innate immune cells that play an important role in the pathogenesis of influenza A virus infection. We found that these two cell types from both human and pig showed comparable susceptibilities...

Tissue transglutaminase (TG-2) modified amniotic membrane: A novel scaffold for biomedical applications (2012)
Journal Article
Chau, D. Y., Brown, S. V., Mather, M. L., Hutter, V., Tint, N. L., Dua, H. S., …Ghaemmaghami, A. M. (2012). Tissue transglutaminase (TG-2) modified amniotic membrane: A novel scaffold for biomedical applications. Biomedical Materials, 7(4), Article 045011. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-6041/7/4/045011

The amniotic membrane (AM) is considered as a natural cell culture substrate and has occasionally been exploited in regenerative medicine especially for ocular surface reconstruction and dermal wound healing applications. However, its use is limited... Read More about Tissue transglutaminase (TG-2) modified amniotic membrane: A novel scaffold for biomedical applications.

Tissue transglutaminase treatment leads to concentration-dependent changes in dendritic cell phenotype - implications for the role of transglutaminase in coeliac disease (2012)
Journal Article
Dalleywater, W. J., Chau, D. Y., & Ghaemmaghami, A. M. (2012). Tissue transglutaminase treatment leads to concentration-dependent changes in dendritic cell phenotype - implications for the role of transglutaminase in coeliac disease. BMC Immunology, 13, Article 20. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2172-13-20

Dendritic cells (DCs) are part of the innate immune system with a key role in initiating and modulating T cell mediated immune responses. Coeliac disease is caused by inappropriate activation of such a response leading to small intestinal inflammatio...

The glycosylation pattern of common allergens: the recognition and uptake of Der p 1 by epithelial and dendritic cells is carbohydrate dependent (2012)
Journal Article
Al-Ghouleh, A., Johal, R., Sharquie, I. K., Emara, M., Harrington, H., Shakib, F., & Ghaemmaghami, A. M. (2012). The glycosylation pattern of common allergens: the recognition and uptake of Der p 1 by epithelial and dendritic cells is carbohydrate dependent. PLoS ONE, 7(3), Article 11. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0033929

Allergens are initiators of both innate and adaptive immune responses. They are recognised at the site of entry by epithelial and dendritic cells (DCs), both of which activate innate inflammatory circuits that can collectively induce Th2 immune respo...

Separation of dendritic and T cells using electrowetting and dielectrophoresis (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Chen, C. A., Chen, C. H., Ghaemmaghami, A. M., & Fan, S. K. (2012). Separation of dendritic and T cells using electrowetting and dielectrophoresis. In 2012 7th IEEE International Conference on Nano/Micro Engineered and Molecular Systems (NEMS) (183-186). https://doi.org/10.1109/NEMS.2012.6196752

The research of immune cells is fundamental to many biological studies. Dendritic cells have the ability to induce a primary immune response in resting naive T cells. The aim of this work is to separate the activated T cells from dendritic cells on a... Read More about Separation of dendritic and T cells using electrowetting and dielectrophoresis.

Retagging identifies dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3 (ICAM3)-grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN) protein as a novel receptor for a major allergen from house dust mite (2012)

Retagging identifies dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3 (ICAM3)-grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN) protein as a novel receptor for a major allergen from house dust mite. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 287(8), https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M111.312520

Dendritic cells (DCs) have been shown to play a key role in the initiation and maintenance of immune responses to microbial pathogens as well as to allergens, but the exact mechanisms of their involvement in allergic responses and Th2 cell differenti...
