Background: Topical drug administration offers an attractive route with minimal invasiveness. It also avoids limitations of intravenous administration such as the first pass metabolism and presystemic elimination within the... more
Hydrogels are prototypical matrices for 3D cell culture, of which alginate hydrogels are extensively used. However, ionic crosslinking agents, such as Ca 2+ , are required to form alginate hydrogels, but introduce Ca 2+-associated... more

Bone tissue engineering, using a porous scaffold material to induce the formation of bone from the surrounding tissues has some distinct advantages over autografting and allografting, and it is a rapidly growing alternative approach to... more
Alongside cancer cells, tumours exhibit a complex stroma containing a repertoire of cells, matrix molecules and soluble factors that actively crosstalk between each other. Recognition of this multifaceted concept of the tumour... more
Inflammatory episodes observed in multiple sclerosis are characterized by perivascular infiltration of central nervous system (CNS) tissue by circulating leucocytes directed by chemokines and activation of both microglia and astrocytes.... more
Liver failure, whether arising directly from acute liver failure or from decompensated chronic liver disease is an increasing problem worldwide and results in many deaths. In the UK only 10% of individuals requiring a liver transplant... more
Biomaterials prepared from polyesters of lactic acid and glycolic acid, or a mixture of the two, degrade in the presence of water into the naturally occurring metabolites, lactic acid and glycolic acid. While the lactic acid degradation... more
Tumor-originated and undefined extracel-lular matrices (ECMs) such as Matrigel TM have been widely used in three-dimensional (3D) cell and tissue culture, but their use is unacceptable in clinical cell therapies. In this study, we... more
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are considered an important candidate in cell therapy and tissue engineering approaches. The culture of stem cells in a 3D environment is known to better resemble the in vivo situation and to promote... more
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are considered as primary candidates for cell-based therapies due to their multiple effects in regenerative medicine. Pre-conditioning of MSCs under physiological conditions—such as hypoxia, three-dimensional... more
We introduce an agent-based model of epithelial cell morphogenesis to explore the complex interplay between apoptosis, proliferation, and polarization. By varying the activity levels of these mechanisms we derived phenotypic transition... more
This study aims at identifying compositional and architectural (pore size and distribution) parameters of biocompatible scaffolds, which can be best suitable for both osteoblasts and endothelial cells to produce optimized 3D cocultured... more
Background: Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are considered an important candidate in cell therapy and tissue engineering approaches. The culture of stem cells in a 3D environment is known to better resemble the in vivo situation and... more
LAM is a rare low-grade metastasizing lung neoplasm. Inhibitors of mTOR improve clinical outcome of LAM patients by preventing loss of lung function. Nevertheless, other cell targets may be of interest for drug development. Therefore, we... more
We are taking an in vitro approach to study the effect of inflammatory mediators on cells in the rat central nervous system (CNS) and to assess their contribution (particularly microglia and astrocytes) to the inflammatory response. To... more
Respiratory viral infections, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), are among the most common illnesses and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Due to the severe effects on health, the... more
As life expectancy grows, many age-related diseases are becoming increasingly evident such as osteoporosis, diabetes or cardiovascular disorders. Not only that, some studies are also pointing up an increase of road accidents and trauma... more
Activation of vascular endothelial cells (ECs) by growth factors initiates a cascade of events during angio-genesis in vivo consisting of EC tip cell selection, sprout formation, EC stalk cell proliferation, and ultimately vascular... more
