Macromolecularly crowded in vitro microenvironments accelerate the production of extracellular matrix-rich supramolecular assemblies.
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-03-04)
Therapeutic strategies based on the principles of tissue engineering by self-assembly put forward the notion that functional regeneration can be achieved by utilising the inherent capacity of cells to create highly ...
Help seeking and help providing in Ireland
(Association of Children's Welfare Agencies (ACWA) and the NSW Family Services (FamS), 2019-12)
Recent developments in the Irish child welfare system have involved a targeted move towards the provision of accessible help at a more timely point for children, young people and their families. It is widely accepted that ...
The synergistic effect of low oxygen tension and macromolecular crowding in the development of extracellular matrix-rich tendon equivalents
(IOP Publishing, 2020-02-26)
Cellular therapies play an important role in tendon tissue engineering, with tenocytes being the most prominent and potent cell population available. However, for the development of a rich extracellular matrix tenocyte-assembled ...
Protective support and supportive protection for families “in the middle”: Learning from the Irish context
(Wiley, 2019-08-08)
This paper critically examines the relationship between statutory family support and child protection using the case study of Ireland. It builds on the work of Devaney and McGregor (2017) to offer an additional contribution ...
Human mesenchymal stromal cells broadly modulate high glucose-induced inflammatory responses of renal proximal tubular cell monolayers
(BMC, 2019-11-19)
Background: Renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTEC) are dysfunctional in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) may modulate DKD pathogenesis through anti-inflammatory mediators. This study ...
Empathy, social responsibility, and civic behavior among Irish adolescents: A socio-contextual approach
(SAGE Publications, 2020-12-09)

An intervention using quality of life and symptom information as a clinical tool in patients with advanced cancer
(International Journal of Innovative Research in Medical Science (IJIRMS), 2019-09-07)
The Schedule for Evaluation of Individual Quality of Life-Direct Weighting (SEIQoL-DW) recognizes the individuals’ values with no pre-judgement. The objective of this study was to determine if clinician awareness and ...
A guide to selecting a measurement tool for quality of life assessment
(Medical and Clinical Research, 2019-05-07)
Modern approaches to patient treatment and personalized medicine increasingly recognize the importance of the patient’s quality
of life outcome. The art of assessing and using quality of life information in routine practice ...
Exploring the innate human potential for positive adaptation in the ace of impending mortality: Is there a response shift in subjective quality of life over time in a group of patients with lung cancer receiving palliative treatment?
(International Journal of Innovative Research in Medical Science, 2020-05-06)
Traditionally changes in quality of life (QoL) are assessed using self report questionnaires. They rely on the assumption that the patient’s point of reference does not change over time. However in reality patients with ...
