    Cell viability in three ex vivo rat models of spinal cord injury 

    Patar, Azim; Dockery, Peter; Howard, Linda; McMahon, Siobhan S. (Wiley, 2018-11-11)
    Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating disorder that has a poor prognosis of recovery. Animal models of SCI are useful to understand the pathophysiology of SCI and the potential use of therapeutic strategies for human ...

    Lentiviral vector‐mediated knockdown of the neuroglycan 2 proteoglycan or expression of neurotrophin‐3 promotes neurite outgrowth in a cell culture model of the glial scar 

    Donnelly, Eleanor M.; Strappe, Padraig M.; McGinley, Lisa M.; Madigan, Nicolas N.; Geurts, Elizabeth; Rooney, Gemma E.; Windebank, Anthony J.; Fraher, John; Dockery, Peter; O'Brien, Timothy; McMahon, Siobhan S. (Wiley, 2010)
    Background Following spinal cord injury, a highly inhibitory environment for axonal regeneration develops. One of the main sources of this inhibition is the glial scar that is formed after injury by reactive astrocytes. ...

    Effect of cyclosporin A on functional recovery in the spinal cord following contusion injury 

    McMahon, Siobhan S.; Albermann, Silke; Rooney, Gemma E.; Moran, Cathal; Hynes, Jacqueline; Garcia, Yolanda; Dockery, Peter; O’Brien, Timothy; Windebank, Anthony J.; Barry, Frank P. (Wiley, 2009-08-20)
    Considerable evidence has shown that the immunosuppressant drug cyclosporin A (CsA) may have neuroprotective properties which can be exploited in the treatment of spinal cord injury. The aim of this study was to investigate ...

    Non-viral xylosyltransferase-1 siRNA delivery as an effective alternative to chondroitinase in an in vitro model of reactive astrocytes 

    Abu-Rub, Mohammad T.; Newland, Ben; Naughton, Michelle; Wang, Wenxin; McMahon, Siobhan; Pandit, Abhay (Elsevier, 2016-10-13)
    Reactive astrocytosis and the subsequent glial scar is ubiquitous to injuries of the central nervous system, especially spinal cord injury (SCI) and primarily serves to protect against further damage, but is also a prominent ...

    GDNF Schwann cells in hydrogel scaffolds promote regional axon regeneration, remyelination and functional improvement after spinal cord transection in rats 

    Chen, Bingkun K.; Madigan, Nicolas N.; Hakim, Jeffrey S.; Dadsetan, Mahrokh; McMahon, Siobhan S.; Yaszemski, Michael J.; Windebank, Anthony J. (Wiley, 2017-03-10)
    Positively-charged oligo[poly(ethylene glycol)fumarate] (OPF+) is a biodegradable hydrogel used for spinal cord injury repair. We compared scaffolds containing primary Schwann cells (SCs) to scaffolds delivering SCs ...

    Differential glycosylation expression in injured rat spinal cord treated with immunosuppressive drug Cyclosporin-A. 

    Kilcoyne, Michelle; Patil, Vaibhav; O'Grady, Claire; Bradley, Ciara; McMahon, Siobhan S. (American Chemical Society, 2019-02-12)
    Glycosylation is ubiquitous throughout the central nervous system and altered following spinal cord injury (SCI). The glial scar that forms following SCI is composed of several chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, which ...

    Analysis of reactive astrocytes and NG2 proteoglycan in ex vivo rat models of spinal cord injury 

    Patar, Azim; Dockery, Peter; Howard, Linda; McMahon, Siobhan (Elsevier, 2018-09-26)
    Background: The use of animals to model spinal cord injury (SCI) requires extensive post-operative care and can be expensive, which makes an altemative model extremely attractive. The use ofex vivo slice cultures is an ...

    Engraftment, migration and differentiation of neural stem cells in the rat spinal cord following contusion injury 

    McMahon, Siobhan S.; Albermann, Silke; Rooney, Gemma E.; Shaw, Georgina; Garcia, Yolanda; Sweeney, Eva; Hynes, Jacqueline; Dockery, Peter; O'Brien, Timothy; Windebank, Anthony J.; Allsopp, Timothy E.; Barry, Frank P. (Elsevier, 2012-12-20)
    Background aims. Spinal cord injury is a devastating injury that impacts drastically on the victim's quality of life. Stem cells have been proposed as a therapeutic strategy. Neural stem (NS) cells have been harvested from ...

    Comparison of cellular architecture, axonal growth, and blood vessel formation through cell-loaded polymer scaffolds in the transected rat spinal cord 

    Madigan, Nicolas N.; Chen, Bingkun K.; Knight, Andrew M.; Rooney, Gemma E.; Sweeney, Eva; Kinnavane, Lisa; Yaszemski, Michael J.; Dockery, Peter; O'Brien, Timothy; McMahon, Siobhan S.; Windebank, Anthony J. (Mary Ann Liebert, 2014-08-08)
    The use of multichannel polymer scaffolds in a complete spinal cord transection injury serves as a deconstructed model that allows for control of individual variables and direct observation of their effects on regeneration. ...

    Assembly of protein-based hollow spheres encapsulating a therapeutic factor 

    Kraskiewicz, Honorata; Breen, Bridget; Sargeant, Timothy; McMahon, Siobhan; Pandit, Abhay (American Chemical Society, 2013-06-13)
    Neurotrophins, as important regulators of neural development, function and survival, have a therapeutic potential to repair damaged neurons. However, a controlled delivery of therapeutic molecules to injured tissue remains ...
