New Paper: Astrocyte response to stem cell therapies
The paper “A 3D in vitro model reveals differences in the astrocyte response elicited by potential stem cell therapies for CNS injury” was published in Regenerative Medicine this week. It is freely available as an Open Access publication and reports a new use for the 3D astrocyte culture models we have developed previously. The astrocyte cultures were […]

Published online in Biomaterials on 5th July, this paper describes the construction and testing of living artificial nerve tissue that could potentially be used in regenerative medicine to repair peripheral nerves. The Engineered Neural Tissue is made by organising Schwann cells and collagen into robust sheets of aligned cellular material that support and guide neuronal […]
