Journal ArticleDOI
Polyhydroxyalkanoates, a family of natural polymers, and their applications in drug delivery
TL;DR: A large range of different PHAs have been explored and the results obtained suggest that PHAs are excellent candidates for controlled and targeted drug delivery systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural Biomaterials for Cardiac Tissue Engineering: A Highly Biocompatible Solution.
Qasim A. Majid,Annabelle T. R. Fricker,David A. Gregory,Natalia Davidenko,Olivia Hernandez Cruz,Richard J. Jabbour,Thomas J. Owen,Pooja Basnett,Barbara Lukasiewicz,Molly M. Stevens,Serena M. Best,Ruth E. Cameron,Sanjay Sinha,Sian E. Harding,Ipsita Roy +14 more
TL;DR: Overall, these biomaterials have proven to be highly promising, displaying robust biocompatibility and, when combined with cells, an ability to enhance post-MI cardiac function in pre-clinical models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Binary Polyhydroxyalkanoate Systems for Soft Tissue Engineering
Barbara Lukasiewicz,Pooja Basnett,Rinat Nigmatullin,Rupy Kaur Matharu,Jonathan C. Knowles,Ipsita Roy +5 more
TL;DR: A plasticiser for poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) based on a structurally related but softer and pliable medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoate is developed, greatly widening the future applicability of this well-established biomaterial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosynthesis and characterization of a novel, biocompatible medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoate by Pseudomonas mendocina CH50 using coconut oil as the carbon source
Pooja Basnett,Elena Marcello,Barbara Lukasiewicz,Bijal Panchal,Rinat Nigmatullin,Jonathan C. Knowles,Jonathan C. Knowles,Ipsita Roy +7 more
TL;DR: In vitro biocompatibility studies were carried out using NG108-15 (neuronal) cells and confirmed that P(3HO-3 HD-3HDD) supported the attachment and proliferation of NG 108-15 and was therefore confirmed to beBiocompatible in nature and suitable for neural regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of a novel medium chain length poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) using unprocessed biodiesel waste and its evaluation as a tissue engineering scaffold.
Pooja Basnett,Barbara Lukasiewicz,Elena Marcello,Harpreet K. Gura,Jonathan C. Knowles,Jonathan C. Knowles,Ipsita Roy +6 more
TL;DR: The utilization of unprocessed biodiesel waste as a carbon feedstock for Pseudomonas mendocinaCH50, for the production of PHAs and P(3HHx‐3HO‐3HD‐3 HDD) was demonstrated to be a promising new material for soft tissue engineering.
