Virtual imaging for patient information on radiotherapy planning and delivery (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Sule-Suso, J., Finney, S., Bisson, J., Hammersley, S., Jassal, S., Knight, C., …Moloney, A. (2016, April). Virtual imaging for patient information on radiotherapy planning and delivery. Poster presented at ESTRO 35, Turin, Italy

Purpose or Objective: To assess whether both patients and their relatives would welcome further information on a oneto-one basis on RT planning and delivery using the virtual reality (VR) system VERT.

Mesenchymal stem cell derived products attenuate cytokine-induced apoptosis in pancreatic beta cells (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Al Azzawi, B., Merkhan, M. M., Kelly, C., & Forsyth, N. (2016, March). Mesenchymal stem cell derived products attenuate cytokine-induced apoptosis in pancreatic beta cells. Poster presented at Abstracts of the Diabetes UK Professional Conference 2016, Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, Glasgow, Scotland

Aims:Cytokine-driven beta cell apoptosis is central to Type 1diabetes. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cellswith significant immunomodulatory capacity, which counteractautoimmunityand enhance islet engraftment and survival. The aimof th...

Fluorescent Monitoring of Poly(lactic-co-glycolic Acid) Degradation and Extracellular Matrix Turnover of Engineered Tissue Constructs (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Bardsley, K., El Haj, A., & Yang, Y. (2015, September). Fluorescent Monitoring of Poly(lactic-co-glycolic Acid) Degradation and Extracellular Matrix Turnover of Engineered Tissue Constructs. Paper presented at 2015 4th TERMIS World Congress, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Development of fluorescent tagging techniques for inert polymers is an advantageous tool for monitoring biomaterial degradation online. Here we present a protocol for the fluorescent tagging of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) which allows for ac...

Multi-functional PLGA Scaffolds For Vascularization In Bone Tissue Constructs (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Yang, Y., & Lyu, L. (2015, September). Multi-functional PLGA Scaffolds For Vascularization In Bone Tissue Constructs

In our previous work, a new technique in which electrospun nanofibers were rolled into multilayered-rod-like 3D scaffolds has been used in rabbit radius regeneration in vivo. This has been highly successful in bone formation. However these scaffolds... Read More about Multi-functional PLGA Scaffolds For Vascularization In Bone Tissue Constructs.
