Chondrogenic and vascular priming: an endochondral ossification approach to bone tissue regeneration
Freeman, Fiona (2015-11-30)Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have significant potential to treat bone pathologies by exploiting the capacity for bone progenitors to grow and produce tissue constituents under specific biochemical and ... -
In silico bone tissue engineering - a multiscale and multiphysics approach
Zhao, Feihu (2016-07-26)Mechanical stimulation in terms of fluid flow and mechanical strain can enhance the osteogenesis. Biomaterial scaffolds used in bone tissue engineering experiments have extremely complex geometry, which will result in the ... -
Mechanobiological Origins of Osteoporosis
Verbruggen, Stefaan W. (2013-09-30)The osteocyte is believed to act as the primary sensor of mechanical stimulus in bone, controlling signalling for bone growth and resorption in response to changes in the mechanical demands placed on bones throughout life. ... -
Pure culture, co-culture and whole ecosystem investigations of single anaerobes, partnerships and microbial communities in anaerobic digestion
O'Sullivan, Sarah (2017-10-20)Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a multi-stage process whereby biodegradable material is broken down by complex microbial consortia into renewable CH4 in the absence of oxygen during waste and wastewater treatment. Anaerobic ... -
The role of matrix properties and extrinsic loading in osteoblast-osteocyte differentiation in tissue engineered scaffolds
Mc Garrigle, Myles (2018-02-05)Bone tissue engineering is a promising field with the potential to generate tissue substitutes, by taking advantage of mesenchymal stem cells ability to grow and produce tissue substitutes under specific physical conditions. ... -
Understanding the Mechanisms of Action of Hypercapnic Acidosis and the Therapeutic Potential of Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Diminishing Inflammation and Enhancing Repair in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
Masterson, Claire (2013-09-30)Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a term used to describe severe lung injury characterised by uncontrolled inflammatory response and resultant damage to endothelial and epithelial layers leading to eventual ...
