Remote control healing for osteoarthritis repair (2022)
Thesis
Echevarria, I. (2022). Remote control healing for osteoarthritis repair. (Thesis). Keele University

Articular cartilage is a key tissue for the normal functioning of the joints, with a trend for degradation with aging and physical activity. The lack of vascularisation hinders the self-repair, and often a scar tissue replaces the damaged cartilage,... Read More about Remote control healing for osteoarthritis repair.

An investigation of protocols for 2D and 3D models of human embryonic stem cell chondrogenic differentiation and tissue engineering (2020)
Thesis
Foster, N. C. (2020). An investigation of protocols for 2D and 3D models of human embryonic stem cell chondrogenic differentiation and tissue engineering. (Thesis). Keele University

Articular cartilage is prone to degradation as a result of aging, disease and injury, which can lead to the onset of osteoarthritis (OA). The avascular nature of the tissue renders its endogenous repair capacity notoriously poor and its aneural natur...

Development of conjunctival and retinal models for improved eye disease treatments (2019)
Thesis
Gater, R. V. A. (2019). Development of conjunctival and retinal models for improved eye disease treatments. (Thesis). Keele University

Eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa can lead to significant sight problems and blindness if left untreated. Current treatments are invasive, have a low success rate and lack the ability to regenerate damaged o...
