A Thermoresponsive and Magnetic Colloid for 3D Cell Expansion and Reconfiguration (2014)
Journal Article
Saunders, B. R., Gould, T., Saeed, A. O., Francini, N., White, L., Dixon, J. E., …Shakesheff, K. M. (2015). A Thermoresponsive and Magnetic Colloid for 3D Cell Expansion and Reconfiguration. Advanced Materials, 27(4), 662-668. https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.201403626

A dual thermoresponsive and magnetic colloidal gel matrix is described for enhanced stem-cell culture. The combined properties of the material allow enzyme-free passaging and expansion of mesenchymal stem cells, as well as isolation of cells postcult...

Formulations for modulation of protein release from large-size PLGA microparticles for tissue engineering (2014)
Journal Article
Qodratnama, R., Pio Serino, L., Cox, H., Qutachi, O., & White, L. J. (2015). Formulations for modulation of protein release from large-size PLGA microparticles for tissue engineering. Materials Science and Engineering: C, 47, 230-236. doi:10.1016/j.msec.2014.11.003

In this study we present an approach to pre-program lysozyme release from large size (100–300 μm) poly(dl-lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles. This approach involved blending in-house synthesized triblock copolymers with a PLGA 85:15....

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
Smith, E., Rose, F., Kanczler, J., Shakesheff, K., Gothard, D., White, L., …Oreffoa, R. (2014). Evaluation of skeletal tissue repair, Part 1: Assessment of novel growth-factor-releasing hydrogels in an ex vivo chick femur defect model. Acta Biomaterialia, 10(10), 4186-4196. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actbio.2014.06.011

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...

A biodegradable antibiotic-impregnated scaffold to prevent osteomyelitis in a contaminated in vivo bone defect model (2014)
Journal Article
McLaren, J. S., White, L., Cox, H., Ashraf, W., Rahman, C., Blunn, G., …Scammell, B. E. (2014). A biodegradable antibiotic-impregnated scaffold to prevent osteomyelitis in a contaminated in vivo bone defect model. eCells and Materials Journal, 27, 332-349. https://doi.org/10.22203/eCM.v027a24

Open fractures are at risk of serious infection and, if infected, require several surgical interventions and courses of systemic antibiotics. We investigated a new injectable formulation that simultaneously hardens in vivo to form a porous scaffold f...

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
Smith, E., Felicity, R., Kanczler, J., Shakesheff, K., Gothard, D., White, L., …Oreffoa, R. (2014). 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. Acta Biomaterialia, 10(10), 4197-4205. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actbio.2014.05.025

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...
