Tissue and Cell Engineering Society, Leeds 2011

Group members attended the TCES annual meeting in Leeds in July and presented work on peripheral nerve repair and electrophysiological recording from 3D neuronal cultures. Mel gave a talk on aligned cellular and acellular collagen guidance substrates for peripheral nerve repair and we presented a poster describing how dorsal root ganglion neurons maintained in a 3D […]
