Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is the third most prevalent degenerative condition in the elderly, with cochlear fibrocyte inflammation preceding sensory cell loss. A deeper understanding of inflammatory mechanisms is essential for developing regener...

Abnormalities in the patellofemoral joint (PFJ) may result in a change in the biomechanics of the joint, leading to patellofemoral pain (PFP), patellar instability, chondral lesions, and PFJ osteoarthritis (PFJ OA). This thesis aimed to further under... Read More about An investigation into the patellofemoral joint: improving diagnostics, prognostics and cell-based therapies.

Simulation and characterization of the corneal limbal epithelial stem cell niche by using new biotechnologies (2025)
Thesis
Dimmock, R. L. Simulation and characterization of the corneal limbal epithelial stem cell niche by using new biotechnologies. (Thesis). Keele University. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/1109999

The limbal epithelial stem cell (LESC) niche is a vital stem cell pool which serves to replenish the cornea with competent stem cells for regrowth and repair throughout adult life. Injury and disease, such as limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), can d...

Application of musculoskeletal modelling to evaluate movement and muscle activity patterns in shoulder instability (2025)
Thesis
Seyres, M. A. Application of musculoskeletal modelling to evaluate movement and muscle activity patterns in shoulder instability. (Thesis). Keele University. https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/1109341

Shoulder instability is a complex impairment that presents as the shoulder sliding out of its support. It challenges current clinical practice in its definition, assessment, classification and long-term outcome. An improved understanding of its mecha...
