Journal Article
Goncalves, K., Phillips, S., Shah, D., Athey, D., & Przyborski, S. (2023). Application of biomimetic surfaces and 3D culture technology to study the role of extracellular matrix interactions in neurite outgrowth and inhibition. Biomaterials Advances, 144, Article 213204. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bioadv.2022.213204

The microenvironment that cells experience during in vitro culture can often be far removed from the native environment they are exposed to in vivo. To recreate the physiological environment that developing neurites experience in vivo, we combine a w...

Investigation into the effect of skin tone modulators and exogenous stress on skin pigmentation utilizing a novel bioengineered skin equivalent (2022)
Journal Article
Goncalves, K., De Los Santos Gomez, P., Costello, L., Smith, L., Mead, H., Simpson, A., & Przyborski, S. (2023). Investigation into the effect of skin tone modulators and exogenous stress on skin pigmentation utilizing a novel bioengineered skin equivalent. Bioengineering and Translational Medicine, 8(2), Article e10415. https://doi.org/10.1002/btm2.10415

Human skin equivalents (HSEs) are a popular technology due to limitations in animal testing, particularly as they recapitulate aspects of structure and function of human skin. Many HSEs contain two basic cell types to model dermal and epidermal compa...

One of the major aims of bio-engineering tissue equivalents in vitro is to create physiologically relevant culture conditions to accurately recreate the cellular microenvironment. This often includes incorporation of factors such as the extracellular... Read More about Design considerations of benchtop fluid flow bioreactors for bio-engineered tissue equivalents in vitro.

Early onset of senescence and imbalanced epidermal homeostasis across the decades in photoexposed human skin: Fingerprints of inflammaging (2022)
Journal Article
Jarrold, B. B., Tan, C. Y. R., Ho, C. Y., Soon, A. L., Lam, T. T., Yang, X., …Oblong, J. E. (2022). Early onset of senescence and imbalanced epidermal homeostasis across the decades in photoexposed human skin: Fingerprints of inflammaging. Experimental Dermatology, 31(11), 1748-1760. https://doi.org/10.1111/exd.14654

Inflammaging is a theory of ageing which purports that low-level chronic inflammation leads to cellular dysfunction and premature ageing of surrounding tissue. Skin is susceptible to inflammaging because it is the first line of defence from the envir...
