Adipose tissue transplantation improves metabolic, behavioural and histological parameters in leptin-deficient mice
… ob/ob mice through white adipose tissue (WAT) transplantation has been applied. Perigonadal WAT was harvested from congenic NZegTg+/ Lep+/+ mice, which express nuclear enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) at very high levels in all cells. Approximately 2 g of WAT were …

A Longitudinal Study of Fetal Tissue Transplantation Surgery for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease: Can Quality of Life and Optimism at Baseline Predict Patient Outcome 10 Years Later?
… trial to investigate the effectiveness of fetal tissue transplantation for the treatment of advanced PD. The authors of that study examined the effects of the surgery across the dimensions of physical and neurological functioning. A quality of life (QoL) study was conducted to determine if there …

Longitudinal Perspective of Participation in a Double Blind Placebo Surgery Trial
… Freed et al. investigated the effects of fetal tissue transplantation in participants with PD by conducting a double-blind sham-controlled surgery trial. The quality of life (QoL) study was conducted concurrently by McRae et al. (2004) in order to determine whether QoL improved in participants …

Development of an electronic aerosol atomisation system for generating three-dimensional (3D) cells in microencapsulations and microtissues characterisation
… is a micro technology widely applied in cell and tissue engineering, tissue transplantation and regenerative medicine. Various techniques had been developed for microencapsulation of cells but these techniques presented threat to the cells due to the harsh or chemical treatment applied. In this …

Overcoming skin rejection in composite tissue allotransplantation
The application of composite tissue techniques is constrained by the susceptibility of skin to rejection. The aim of this thesis is to improve our understanding of skin rejection and find ways to avoid it, in order to enable expansion of the application of composite tissue transplantation …

Developing a clinically applicable hydrogel for the treatment of liver disease
… the only cure for chronic liver failure is liver transplantation. However, the mismatch between patient demand and donor supply is widening. Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering including cell therapy and lab-grown mini-livers offer an exciting alternative to liver transplantation. …

Preconditioned muscle-derived mesenchymal stem cells revitalize growth and function in aged skeletal muscle
… hormones and growth factors that repair tissue and promote growth. The complex etiology of sarcopenia warrants a multisystem approach in the development of therapeutic strategies to prevent and/or treat age-related disabilities. Our lab has defined a role for the α7β1 integrin, a …
