The Growth and Neuronal Differentiation of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells in Xeno-Free Functional Synthetic Hydrogel​

Abstract: Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offer a powerful starting point to study the molecular dynamics of the developing nervous system. Further, they provide an invaluable tool for developing patient-specific models to study the disease process. Therefore, optimizing their growth in a defined, native 3D state is of paramount importance to both guide and […]

Developing a Biofunctional Xeno-free Hydrogel Platform for Long-term 3D Neuronal Differentiation and Maintenance

Abstract: The development of in vitro systems for long-term neuronal differentiation and survival is crucial for understanding both physiological processes and various disease states. While traditional two-dimensional (2D) neuron models have been instrumental in neuroscience research, these systems fail to maintain neuron viability over extended periods, impeding prolonged neuronal maturation. One reason for this limitation is that 2D-based models misrepresent […]

Explant Model of the Normal Human Breast Mimics Tamoxifen Clinical Trial Results

Abstract: Tamoxifen, an anti-oestrogen, is the only licensed medication in the UK for breast cancer prevention in high-risk, pre-menopausal women. Data from the Biomarkers of Breast Cancer Prevention (BBCP) trial show that, while tamoxifen reduces overall proliferation after three months of treatment, a subset of women (5/13) show stable or increased proliferation. As proliferation is […]

Discerning the Role of the Extracellular Matrix on Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition and Invasiveness of Glioblastoma Multiforme using a Xeno-Free 3D Hydrogel System

Abstract: The invasive nature of cancer, driven by epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), is a critical process influenced by external cues from the tumor microenvironment, such as extracellular matrix (ECM) composition. The ECM primes cells for EMT and metastasis, making it a key topic in understanding disease progression. For example, in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a grade IV […]
