Unravelling the immunomodulatory effect of Poly (glycolic acid) particles using new techniques (2023)
Thesis
Xie, B. (2023). Unravelling the immunomodulatory effect of Poly (glycolic acid) particles using new techniques. (Thesis). Keele University. Retrieved from https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/674529

Non-degradable and biodegradable implants inevitably generate debris or degradation products in the body, and these induce acute and chronic inflammation. Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is a simple linear aliphatic polyester with a wide set of medical appli...

The establishment and use of tissue engineered vascular models to investigate the pleiotropic effects of statins (2021)
Thesis
Njoroge, W. (2021). The establishment and use of tissue engineered vascular models to investigate the pleiotropic effects of statins. (Thesis). Keele University

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been identified as the leading cause of mortality in westernised society. The triggering factor for the majority of cardiovascular diseases is atherosclerosis, defined as an accumulation of fatty materials in the vasc...

Investigation of correlation of biochemical marker expression and mechanical properties of preterm membranes (2021)
Thesis
Bhunia, S. (2021). Investigation of correlation of biochemical marker expression and mechanical properties of preterm membranes. (Thesis). Keele University

The fetal membrane surrounds and supports the developing fetus during the pregnancy. The cellular structure of the fetal membrane and the proteins synthesized by the cells of amniotic and chorionic membranes, maintain the mechanical integrity of the...

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...
