The effect of intraluminal contact mediated guidance signals on axonal mismatch during peripheral nerve repair
Daly, William T.; Yao, Li; Abu-Rub, Mohammad; Zeugolis, Dimitrios I. (Elsevier, 2012-06-25)The current microsurgical gold standard for repairing long gap nerve injuries is the autograft. Autograft provides a protective environment for repair and a natural internal architecture, which is essential for regeneration. ... -
Electromechanical properties of dried tendon and isoelectrically focused collagen hydrogels
Abu-Rub, Mohammad; Zeugolis, Dimitrios I.; Pandit, Abhay (Elsevier, 2012-08)Assembling artificial collagenous tissues with structural, functional, and mechanical properties which mimic natural tissues is of vital importance for many tissue engineering applications. While the electro-mechanical ... -
Single Cyclized Molecule Versus Single Branched Molecule: A Simple and Efficient 3D "Knot" Polymer Structure for Nonviral Gene Delivery
Newland, Ben; Zheng, Yu; Jin, Yao; Abu-Rub, Mohammad; Cao, Hongliang; Wang, Wenxin; Pandit, Abhay (American Chemical Society, 2012-02-12)The large research effort focused on enhancing nonviral transfection vectors has clearly demonstrated that their macromolecular structure has a significant effect on their transfection efficacy. The 3D branched polymeric ... -
Single vesicle imaging indicates distinct modes of rapid membrane retrieval during nerve growth
Hines, Jacob H; Henle, Steven J; Carlstrom, Lucas P; Abu-Rub, Mohammad; Henley, John R (Springer Nature, 2012-01-01)Background: During nerve growth, cytoplasmic vesicles add new membrane preferentially to the growth cone located at the distal tip of extending axons. Growth cone membrane is also retrieved locally, and asymmetric retrieval ... -
Spinal cord injury in vitro: Modelling axon growth inhibition
Abu-Rub, Mohammad; McMahon, Siobhan; Zeugolis, Dimitrios I.; Pandit, Abhay (Elsevier, 2010-06)Over the past three decades, tremendous progress has been made in elucidating mechanisms underlying regenerative failure after spinal cord injury and in devising therapeutic approaches to promote functional nerve regeneration. ...
