Peptide hydrogels — a tissue engineering strategy for the prevention of oesophageal strictures (2017)
Journal Article
Kumar, D., Workman, V., O'Brien, M. C., McLaren, J. S., White, L. J., Ragunath, K., …Rose, F. R. (2017). Peptide hydrogels — a tissue engineering strategy for the prevention of oesophageal strictures. Advanced Functional Materials, 27(38), Article 1702424. https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.201702424

Endoscopic treatment of Barrett’s oesophagus often leads to further damage of healthy tissue causing fibrotic tissue formation termed as strictures. This study shows that synthetic, self-assembling peptide hydrogels (PeptiGelDesign) support the activ...

Translational considerations in injectable cell-based therapeutics for neurological applications: concepts, progress and challenges (2017)
Journal Article
Amer, M. H., Rose, F. R., Shakesheff, K. M., Modo, M., & White, L. J. (in press). Translational considerations in injectable cell-based therapeutics for neurological applications: concepts, progress and challenges. npj Regenerative Medicine, 2, Article 23. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41536-017-0028-x

Significant progress has been made during the past decade towards the clinical adoption of cell- based therapeutics. However, existing cell delivery approaches have shown limited success, with numerous studies showing fewer than 5% of injected cells...

Decellularized bone extracellular matrix and human dental pulp stem cells as a construct for bone regeneration (2017)
Journal Article
Paduano, F., Marrelli, M., Alom, N., Amer, M. H., White, L. J., Shakesheff, K. M., & Tatullo, M. (in press). Decellularized bone extracellular matrix and human dental pulp stem cells as a construct for bone regeneration. Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition, 28(8), https://doi.org/10.1080/09205063.2017.1301770

Dental pulp tissue represents a source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have a strong differentiation potential towards the osteogenic lineage. The objective of the current study was to examine in vitro osteogenic induction of dental pulp stem c...

Macrophage phenotype in response to ECM bioscaffolds (2017)
Journal Article
Huleihel, L., Dziki, J. L., Bartolacci, J. G., Rausch, T., Scarritt, M. E., Cramer, M. C., …Badylak, S. F. (2017). Macrophage phenotype in response to ECM bioscaffolds. Seminars in Immunology, 29, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.smim.2017.04.004

Macrophage presence and phenotype are critical determinants of the healing response following injury. Downregulation of the pro-inflammatory macrophage phenotype has been associated with the therapeutic use of bioscaffolds composed of extracellular...
