A methylcellulose and collagen based temperature responsive hydrogel promotes encapsulated stem cell viability and proliferation in vitro
(Springer Nature, 2016-12-06)With the number of stem cell-based therapies emerging on the increase, the need for novel and efficient delivery technologies to enable therapies to remain in damaged tissue and exert their therapeutic benefit for extended ... -
Developing reservoir systems for therapeutic delivery of biomolecules to a degenerated disc
(2015-01-05)Low back pain has severe consequences for the quality of life of the affected patients and strong evidence suggests that this condition is caused by degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD). Disc degeneration coincides ... -
Enzymatic stabilization of gelatin-based scaffolds
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2004-01-01) -
GDNF Schwann cells in hydrogel scaffolds promote regional axon regeneration, remyelination and functional improvement after spinal cord transection in rats
(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 ... -
Long-term neurological and behavioral results of biodegradable scaffold implantation in mice brain
(Journal Sovremennye Tehnologii v Medicine, 2016-12-01)The aim of the study was to assess the integral outcomes of implantation biocompatible scaffold as the carrier of neural stem cells in the reconstructive surgery of open traumatic brain injury (TBI) by parameters of ... -
Mediated electron transfer of cellobiose dehydrogenase and glucose oxidase at osmium polymer-modified nanoporous gold electrodes
(Springer Nature, 2012-12-30)Nanoporous and planar gold electrodes were utilised as supports for the redox enzymes Aspergillus niger glucose oxidase (GOx) and Corynascus thermophilus cellobiose dehydrogenase (CtCDH). Electrodes modified with hydrogels ... -
Paper-based microfluidic biofuel cell operating under glucose concentrations within physiological range
(Elsevier BV, 2017-04-01)This work addresses the development of a compact paper-based enzymatic microfluidic glucose/O-2 fuel cell that can operate using a very limited sample volume (approximate to 35 mu l) and explores the energy generated by ... -
The role of surfactants in the formulation of elastic liposomal gels containing a synthetic opioid analgesic
(Dove Medical Press Ltd., 2016-04-01)Transdermal drug delivery systems have made significant contributions to the medical community, but have yet to completely substitute oral or parenteral delivery. Recently, various strategies have been used to augment the ... -
Therapeutic effect of neurotrophin-3 treatment in an injectable collagen scaffold following rat spinal cord hemisection injury
(American Chemical Society, 2016-08-01)Spinal cord injury (SCI) patients display varying quantities of spinal cord tissue damage with injuries that present as complete, incomplete or compressive. One theory proposed to repair the injured spinal cord and regain ...
