3D printed microchannel networks to direct vascularisation during endochondral bone repair
(2018)Bone tissue engineering strategies that recapitulate the developmental process of endochondral ossification offer a promising route to bone repair. Clinical translation of such endochondral tissue engineering strategies ... -
Proposing a performance framework for innovation measurement: an exploratory case-based research
(2021)Purpose: Measurement of the innovation process performance is critical for both managers and researchers. However, existing performance frameworks (PFs) neglect performance indicators (PIs) and dimensions relevant to the ... -
Diffusion tensor imaging and arterial tissue: establishing the influence of arterial tissue microstructure on fractional anisotropy, mean diffusivity and tractography
(2021)In this study we investigated the potential of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) for providing insight into microstructural changes in arterial tissue by exploring the influence that cell, collagen and elastin content have ... -
Bovine pericardium of high fibre dispersion has high fatigue life and increased collagen content; potentially an untapped source of heart valve leaflet tissue
(2020)Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) are implanted in aortic valve stenosis patients to replace the native, dysfunctional valve. Yet, the long-term performance of the glutaraldehyde-fixed bovine pericardium (GLBP) leaflets ... -
Priming as a strategy to overcome detrimental pH effects on cells for intervertebral disc regeneration.
(2021)Disc disease is characterised by degeneration of the nucleus pulposus (NP), the central gelatinous tissue of the intervertebral disc (IVD). As degeneration progresses, the microenvironment of the IVD becomes more hostile ...
