Development of a novel 3D gut-microbiota model for the assessment of absorption and metabolism of health supplements and therapeutic drugs (2021)
Thesis
Alansari, R. H. A. (2021). Development of a novel 3D gut-microbiota model for the assessment of absorption and metabolism of health supplements and therapeutic drugs. (Thesis). Keele University

The human body hosts a vast number of microorganisms such as bacteria, archaea, and viruses that are colonised inside and outside the body. This combination of microorganisms living within the human body is known as microbiota. The human microbiota v...

Cell-based meniscus characterization and regeneration: basic science, tissue engineering and clinical applications (2021)
Thesis
Wang, J. (2021). Cell-based meniscus characterization and regeneration: basic science, tissue engineering and clinical applications. (Thesis). Keele University

As a vital part of the knee joint, the meniscus acts to prevent the degeneration of articular cartilage and the onset of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Repairing meniscus injuries in the avascular region is still a challenge in orthopaedics. The current p...
