Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogel scaffolds for differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells
Qiutong Huang,Yijie Zou,Maria C. Arno,Shuai Chen,Tao Wang,Jingyi Gao,Andrew P. Dove,Jianzhong Du +7 more
TL;DR: An overview of common methods for hydrogel preparation is given with a focus on those strategies that provide potential advantages for ADSC encapsulation, before summarizing the physical properties of hydrogels scaffolds that can act as biological cues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Permeable Protein-Loaded Polymersome Cascade Nanoreactors by Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly
Lewis D. Blackman,Spyridon Varlas,Maria C. Arno,Alice E. R. Fayter,Matthew I. Gibson,Rachel K. O'Reilly +5 more
TL;DR: A synthetic route toward intrinsically permeable polymersomes loaded with functional proteins using initiator-free visible light-mediated polymerization-induced self-assembly (photo-PISA) under mild, aqueous conditions using a commercial monomer is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Confinement of Therapeutic Enzymes in Selectively Permeable Polymer Vesicles by Polymerization-Induced Self-Assembly (PISA) Reduces Antibody Binding and Proteolytic Susceptibility.
Lewis D. Blackman,Spyridon Varlas,Spyridon Varlas,Maria C. Arno,Maria C. Arno,Zachary H. Houston,Nicholas L. Fletcher,Kristofer J. Thurecht,Muhammad Hasan,Matthew I. Gibson,Rachel K. O'Reilly,Rachel K. O'Reilly +11 more
TL;DR: The one-pot synthesis of therapeutic enzyme-loaded vesicles with size-selective permeability using polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) enabling the encapsulated enzyme to function from within a confined domain is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precision Epitaxy for Aqueous 1D and 2D Poly(ε-caprolactone) Assemblies.
Maria C. Arno,Maria Inam,Zachary Coe,Graeme Cambridge,Laura J. Macdougall,Robert Keogh,Andrew P. Dove,Rachel K. O'Reilly +7 more
TL;DR: The preparation of biocompatible and biodegradable poly(ε-caprolactone) 1D and 2D micelles in water and alcoholic solvents via crystallization-driven self-assembly is reported, achieving precise control over 1D nanostructures in water, an essential feature for any relevant biological application.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploiting the role of nanoparticle shape in enhancing hydrogel adhesive and mechanical properties
Maria C. Arno,Maria Inam,Andrew C. Weems,Zehua Li,Zehua Li,Abbie L A Binch,Christopher I. Platt,Stephen M. Richardson,Judith A. Hoyland,Andrew P. Dove,Rachel K. O'Reilly +10 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that nanoparticle shape is a critical consideration in the determination of nanocomposite hydrogel properties, and poly( L -lactide)-based nanoparticles with platelet morphology as an adhesive results in a significant enhancement of adhesion over nanoparticle glues comprised of spherical or cylindrical micelles.
