Journal Article
Jenkins, S., Yiu, H., Rosseinsky, M., & Chari, D. (2014). Magnetic nanoparticles for oligodendrocyte precursor cell transplantation therapies: progress and challenges. Molecular and Cellular Therapies, https://doi.org/10.1186/2052-8426-2-23

Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) have shown high promise as a transplant population to promote regeneration in the central nervous system, specifically, for the production of myelin - the protective sheath around nerve fibers. While clinical tr... Read More about Magnetic nanoparticles for oligodendrocyte precursor cell transplantation therapies: progress and challenges.

An in vitro spinal cord injury model to screen neuroregenerative materials (2014)
Journal Article
Weightman, A. P., Pickard, M. R., Yang, Y., & Chari, D. M. (2014). An in vitro spinal cord injury model to screen neuroregenerative materials. Biomaterials, 35(12), 3756-3765. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biomaterials.2014.01.022

Implantable ‘structural bridges’ based on nanofabricated polymer scaffolds have great promise to aid spinal cord regeneration. Their development (optimal formulations, surface functionalizations, safety, topographical influences and degradation profi...

Identifying the cellular targets of drug action in the central nervous system following corticosteroid therapy (2014)
Journal Article
Jenkins, S., Pickard, M., Khong, M., Smith, H., Mann, C., Emes, R., & Chari, D. (2014). Identifying the cellular targets of drug action in the central nervous system following corticosteroid therapy. ACS chemical neuroscience, 51 -63. https://doi.org/10.1021/cn400167n

Corticosteroid (CS) therapy is used widely in the treatment of a range of pathologies, but can delay production of myelin, the insulating sheath around central nervous system nerve fibers. The cellular targets of CS action are not fully understood, t... Read More about Identifying the cellular targets of drug action in the central nervous system following corticosteroid therapy.
