I’m delighted to say our paper “The Therapeutic Potential of the Stem Cell Secretome for Spinal Cord Repair: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis” was published recently in OBM Neurobiology. If you’re interested in reading the full paper, you can access it here. It’s open access so isn’t behind an annoying paywall. Here’s a summary of […]
It’s (finally) here! The big paper from my PhD titled “Systemic conditioned medium treatment from interleukin-1 primed mesenchymal stem cells promotes recovery after stroke” was just published last week in Stem Cell Research & Therapy. Thanks to my fantastic co-workers who made it possible! It’s open access meaning anyone can read it here without an annoying paywall. To me it represents several years of work, lots of long days, several weekends in the lab and an epic battle

I’m really excited to have been selected to present a poster at the University of Manchester Postgraduate Summer Research Showcase again. It’s such a special event because it brings together postgraduates from all disciplines to share their work. As a PhD student, it’s easy to forget about the breath of research being done at the

Hi! Just a quick post to say my next regenerative medicine video is up. I’m thoroughly enjoying making these and I think I’m improving all the time. I now know what more of the buttons on our DSLR do at the very least. Thanks to my other half, Johan, who very kindly made me a
Oh jeez. I can’t believe it’s been over a month since I posted anything. I’ve been crazy busy with my PhD and cubs recently. I’ve been interested in the history of science for a number of years and the history of regenerative medicine does not disappoint. Surprisingly, the story begins as far back as 382-322 BC
