The clinical potential of meniscal progenitor cells (2024)
Journal Article
Introduction The meniscus is an important cushioning structure of the knee joint, the maintenance of its normal structure and function plays a crucial role in protecting the joint from early degeneration. Stem/pro... Read More about The clinical potential of meniscal progenitor cells.
Analysis of Synovial Fluid Proteomes After Treating an Ovine Osteoarthritic Model with Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells (2023)
Presentation / Conference
PROTEOMIC IDENTIFICATION OF PREDICTIVE AUTOLOGOUS CHONDROCYTE IMPLANTATION BIOMARKERS IN PLASMA (2023)
Journal Article
Stratification is required to ensure that only those patients likely to benefit, receive Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI); ideally by assessing a biomarker in the blood. This study aimed to assess differences in the plasma proteome of indivi... Read More about PROTEOMIC IDENTIFICATION OF PREDICTIVE AUTOLOGOUS CHONDROCYTE IMPLANTATION BIOMARKERS IN PLASMA.
Osteochondral Lesions of the Ankle Treated with Bone Marrow Concentrate with Hyaluronan and Fibrin: A Single-Centre Study. (2022)
Journal Article
Osteochondral defects of the ankle (OCD) are being increasingly identified as a clinically significant consequence of injury to the ankle, with the potential to lead to osteoarthritis if left untreated. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was... Read More about Osteochondral Lesions of the Ankle Treated with Bone Marrow Concentrate with Hyaluronan and Fibrin: A Single-Centre Study..
An In Vitro System to Study the Effect of Subchondral Bone Health on Articular Cartilage Repair in Humans. (2021)
Journal Article
Chondrocyte-based cartilage repair strategies, such as articular chondrocyte implantation, are widely used, but few studies addressed the communication between native subchondral bone cells and the transplanted chondrocytes. An indirect co-culture mo... Read More about An In Vitro System to Study the Effect of Subchondral Bone Health on Articular Cartilage Repair in Humans..
Perlecan in the Natural and Cell Therapy Repair of Human Adult Articular Cartilage: Can Modifications in This Proteoglycan Be a Novel Therapeutic Approach? (2021)
Journal Article
Articular cartilage is considered to have limited regenerative capacity, which has led to the search for therapies to limit or halt the progression of its destruction. Perlecan, a multifunctional heparan sulphate (HS) proteoglycan, promotes embryonic...

Characterization of regional meniscal cell and chondrocyte phenotypes and chondrogenic differentiation with histological analysis in osteoarthritic donor-matched tissues (2020)
Journal Article
Meniscus degeneration is closely related to the progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, there is currently a lack of quantitative and objective metrics to assess OA meniscal cell phenotypes. In this study we investigated the phenotypic mark...

The Use of Technology in the Subcategorisation of Osteoarthritis: a Delphi Study Approach (2020)
Journal Article
Objective This UK-wide OATech+ Network consensus study utilised a Delphi approach to discern levels of awareness across an expert panel regarding the role of existing and novel technologies in osteoarthritis research. To direct future cross-disciplin... Read More about The Use of Technology in the Subcategorisation of Osteoarthritis: a Delphi Study Approach.
Injected human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells do not appear to elicit an inflammatory response in a murine model of osteoarthritis (2020)
Journal Article
Objective This study investigated the effect of hUC-MSCs on osteoarthritis (OA) progression in a xenogeneic model. Design Male, 10 week-old C57Bl/6 mice underwent sham surgery (n=15) or partial medial meniscectomy (PMM;n=76). 5x105 hUC-MSCs (from 3 d...

The natural repair of articular cartilage in humans: an immunohistological study (2019)
Journal Article
Human Articular Chondrocytes Retain Their Phenotype in Sustained Hypoxia While Normoxia Promotes Their Immunomodulatory Potential (2019)
Journal Article
Objective To assess the phenotype of human articular chondrocytes cultured in normoxia (21% O2) or continuous hypoxia (2% O2). Design Chondrocytes were extracted from patients undergoing total knee replacement (n = 5) and cultured in ~21% (normo...

A comprehensive characterisation of large-scale expanded human bone marrow and umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. (2019)
Journal Article
BACKGROUND: The manufacture of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) for clinical use needs to be cost effective, safe and scaled up. Current methods of expansion on tissue culture plastic are labour-intensive and involve several 'open' procedures....

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Parameters at 1 Year Correlate With Clinical Outcomes Up to 17 Years After Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (2018)
Journal Article
Background: The ability to predict the long-term success of surgical treatment in orthopaedics is invaluable, particularly in clinical trials. The quality of repair tissue formed 1 year after autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) in the knee was...

Two independent proteomic approaches provide a comprehensive analysis of the synovial fluid proteome response to Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (2018)
Journal Article
Background Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) has a failure rate of approximately 20%, but it is yet to be fully understood why. Biomarkers are needed that can pre-operatively predict in which patients it is likely to fail, so that alternativ...
