Magnetic Coagulometry: Towards a New Nanotechnological Tool for ex vivo Monitoring Coagulation in Human Whole Blood (2023)
Journal Article
Santana-Otero, A., Harper, A., Telling, N. D., Ortega, D., & Cabrera, D. (in press). Magnetic Coagulometry: Towards a New Nanotechnological Tool for ex vivo Monitoring Coagulation in Human Whole Blood. Nanoscale, https://doi.org/10.1039/d3nr02593d

Blood clotting disorders consisting of unwanted blood clot formation or excessive bleeding are some of the main causes of death worldwide. However, there are significant limitations in the current methods used to clinically monitoring the dynamics of...

Iron oxide nanoparticles as a new tool for treating cardiovascular diseases (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Cabrera, D., Ranjbar, J., Santana-Otero, A., Sharifabad, M. E., Ortega, D., Telling, N. D., & Harper, A. (2023). Iron oxide nanoparticles as a new tool for treating cardiovascular diseases. . https://doi.org/10.1109/intermagshortpapers58606.2023.10228198

Thrombotic events are a major cause of death and disability worldwide. Thrombolysis with the clot busting drug tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) or thromboprophylaxis using anticoagulants such as heparin are frontline treatments for thrombotic disea...

Developing human tissue engineered arterial constructs to simulate human in vivo thrombus formation (2022)
Journal Article
Ranjbar, J., Yang, Y., & Harper, A. (2022). Developing human tissue engineered arterial constructs to simulate human in vivo thrombus formation. Platelets, 34(1), https://doi.org/10.1080/09537104.2022.2153823

Thrombus formation is highly dependent upon the physico-chemical environment in which it is triggered. Our ability to understand how thrombus formation is initiated, regulated, and resolved in the human body is dependent upon our ability to replicat...

The Combination of Tissue-Engineered Blood Vessel Constructs and Parallel Flow Chamber Provides a Potential Alternative to In Vivo Drug Testing Models (2021)
Journal Article
Njoroge, W., Hernández Hernández, A. C., Idris Musa, F., Butler, R., Harper, A. G. S., & Yang, Y. (2021). The Combination of Tissue-Engineered Blood Vessel Constructs and Parallel Flow Chamber Provides a Potential Alternative to In Vivo Drug Testing Models. Pharmaceutics, 13(3), Article 340. https://doi.org/10.3390/pharmaceutics13030340

Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of death globally. This has led to significant efforts to develop new anti-thrombotic therapies or re-purpose existing drugs to treat cardiovascular diseases. Due to difficulties of obtaining healthy human bloo...
