A phosphate glass reinforced composite acrylamide gradient scaffold for osteochondral interface regeneration. (2024)
Journal Article
Younus, Z. M., Ahmed, I., Roach, P., & Forsyth, N. R. (in press). A phosphate glass reinforced composite acrylamide gradient scaffold for osteochondral interface regeneration. Biomaterials and Biosystems, 15, Article 100099. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbiosy.2024.100099

The bone-cartilage interface is defined by a unique arrangement of cells and tissue matrix. Injury to the interface can contribute to the development of arthritic joint disease. Attempts to repair osteochondral damage through clinical trials have gen...

Persistent air leaks caused by thoracic surgery, physical trauma, or spontaneous pneumothoraces are a cause of patient morbidity with need for extended chest tube durations and surgical interventions. Current treatment measures involve mechanical clo... Read More about Decellularisation and Characterisation of Porcine Pleura as Bioscaffolds in Tissue Engineering.

Tuning the properties of all natural polymeric scaffolds for tendon repair with cellulose microfibers (2024)
Journal Article
Diaz, F., Zimmermann, L., Dale, T. P., Forsyth, N. R., & Boccaccini, A. R. (2024). Tuning the properties of all natural polymeric scaffolds for tendon repair with cellulose microfibers. Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications, 7, Article 100447. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carpta.2024.100447

Rotator cuff injuries affect a large percentage of the population worldwide. Surgical repair has rates of failure of up to 70%, and existing materials used in the reinforcement of injuries often lack appropriate mechanical properties and biodegradabi...

TERT Promoter Methylation Is Oxygen-Sensitive and Regulates Telomerase Activity (2024)
Journal Article
Dogan, F., & Forsyth, N. R. (in press). TERT Promoter Methylation Is Oxygen-Sensitive and Regulates Telomerase Activity. Biomolecules, 14(1), Article 131. https://doi.org/10.3390/biom14010131

Telomere repeats protect linear chromosomes from degradation, and telomerase has a prominent role in their maintenance. Telomerase has telomere-independent effects on cell proliferation, DNA replication, differentiation, and tumorigenesis. TERT (telo...
