Journal Article
Chen, R., Chen, C. P., & Preston, J. E. (2016). Effects of transthyretin on thyroxine and ß-amyloid removal from cerebrospinal fluid in mice. Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 43(9), 844-850. https://doi.org/10.1111/1440-1681.12598

Transthyretin (TTR) is a binding protein for the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4 ), retinol and ß-amyloid peptide. TTR aids the transfer of T4 from the blood to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but also prevents T4 loss from the blood-CSF barrier. It is...

Flourescent, online monitoring of PLGA degradation for regenerative medicine applications (2016)
Journal Article
Yang. (2016). Flourescent, online monitoring of PLGA degradation for regenerative medicine applications. RSC advances, 44364 - 44370. https://doi.org/10.1039/C6RA04690H

Degradable polymers such as poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) are frequently chosen for tissue engineering, due to their ease of production, controllable degradation rates and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. Within tissue engineering... Read More about Flourescent, online monitoring of PLGA degradation for regenerative medicine applications.
