Nano-textured self-assembled aligned collagen hydrogels promote directional neurite guidance and overcome inhibition by myelin associated glycoprotein
Abu-Rub, Mohammad T.; Zeugolis, Dimitrios I.; McMahon, Siobhan; Pandit, Abhay (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2011-01-11)The development of nerve guidance conduits is constantly evolving as the need arises for therapies for spinal cord injury. In addition to providing a path for regrowing axons to reconnect with their appropriate targets, ... -
Spinal cord injury in vitro: Modelling axon growth inhibition
Abu-Rub, Mohammad; McMahon, Siobhan; Zeugolis, Dimitrios I.; Pandit, Abhay (Elsevier, 2010-06)Over the past three decades, tremendous progress has been made in elucidating mechanisms underlying regenerative failure after spinal cord injury and in devising therapeutic approaches to promote functional nerve regeneration. ... -
Thermosensitive hydrogel for prolonged delivery of lentiviral vector expressing neurotrophin-3 in vitro
McMahon, Siobhan; Nikolskaya, Natalia; Ní Choileain, Siobhan; Hennessy, Niamh; O'Brien, Timothy; Rochev, Yury (Wiley, 2011-11-01)Background The development of tissue engineering scaffolds for gene delivery has the potential to enhance gene transfer efficiency and safety via controlled temporal and spatial delivery. Lentiviral delivery can be carried ...
