Pro-inflammatory cytokine licensing as a strategy to enhance the efficacy of syngeneic mesenchymal stem cells for corneal transplantation
(NUI Galway, 2018-05-11)
It has previously been demonstrated by our lab that allogeneic MSCs prolong corneal allograft survival however syngeneic MSCs fail to do so. The aim of this study was to investigate if pre-treating syngeneic MSCs with ...
Semantic modelling of protein-protein interactions, their prediction and evaluation
(2018-02-23)
The amount of biomedical data produced by DNA-sequencing, by curated knowledge on disease mechanisms and treatments, by results from biochemical and pharmaceutical research and by many other data generation studies is ...
Bone marrow stromal cell transplantation ameliorates cytopenias caused by depletion of FAP-α expressing cells
(NUI Galway, 2018-05-03)
Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapies are being successfully developed for immune-mediated inflammatory diseases as phase 3 clinical trials have demonstrated. However, the en-dogenous roles of stromal cells (SSCs) are ...
Stem cell modelling for the role of NRXN1 deletion in Autism Spectrum Disorder
(NUI Galway, 2018-12-21)
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a multi-factorial disease, often has co-morbidity with epilepsy, which is associated with excessive neuronal firing. The pre-synaptic protein Neurexin1 (NRXN1) signals bi-directionally through ...
Immunomodulation in mesenchymal stem cell therapy for osteoarthritis: mechanistic insights on the role of cell death and engraftment
(NUI Galway, 2018-11-02)
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative pathology of the articular cartilage causing chronic
pain and disability in millions of individuals. In OA synovia, resident macrophages and
infiltrated lymphocytes contribute to the ...
