Out now in Advanced Healthcare Materials @AdvPortfolio! We show that tuning scaffold stiffness and matrix composition can enhance the angiogenic, immunomodulatory and neurotrophic capacity of astrocyte progenitors for SCI applications

Happy to have this study out where we looked at neuronal and astrocyte progenitor responses to different matrix proteins at the cell and nanoscale level 🔬🧠
Thanks to @anat_soc @ambercentre @IRFUCharTrust for the support

Very excited to begin my @Fulbright_Eire journey at @hseas in Prof David Mooney's lab🔬
Looking forward to building off work from @TissueEngDublin in developing biomaterials for spinal cord applications, meeting many people and learning lots! 🇮🇪 🇺🇸
This image was taken in collaboration with my good friends and colleagues @J_C_Palomeque and @MatthewMcG97 while testing the potential of scaffolds for wound healing to support neurite growth
Additionally, well done to Jack, Javier and Juan-Carlos on their awards too!
It was great to attend the @ambercentre conference this week and a huge privilege to receive awards for Education and Public Engagement (EPE) and our image 'Reaching for Connections'🔬
The image shows two injured dorsal root ganglia on a gene-acivated scaffold @TissueEngDublin
ALT The image entitled 'Reaching for Connections' shows an artistic microscopy image of two injured dorsal root ganglia (an important tissue model of axonal growth) growing on gene activated biomaterials for wound healing applications. The image was acquired using a Zeiss Examiner.Z1 image. White = neurites (beta-tubulin III), Blue = DAPI (cell nuclei). This work is funded by the SFI-AMBER centre and the IRFU Charitable Trust.
Over the moon for the father! Over 50 and smashed the @dublinmarathon with a new PB for himself (2:48:38)!!!!! 🏃
He'll have to slow down next year as he had finished before the pubs could open for that victory pint! 🍻
Nice surprise for #FluorescenceFriday - our 'Super Resolution Astrocyte' was awarded Runner Up in the @anat_soc image competition 🔬
The image was taken as part of an SS @TCDPhysiology project @TissueEngDublin and shows changes in astrocyte processes when grown on certain ECMs
En route to Wales 🏴 for the @anat_soc summer meeting - looking forward to a great week of talks, presenting research from my PhD on spinal cord injury repair and chatting to many people!
#anatsocsummer23
A brilliant time was had @TermisEU2023 and it was great to discuss our work on spinal cord injury repair, chair a great session and chat to many wonderful people!
A huge thanks to @NeuroscienceIRL for supporting my travel to this conference 🧠
