New paper! The article 'Development of a PTEN-siRNA activated scaffold to promote axonal regrowth following spinal cord injury' has now been published in Bioactive Materials!
The study involves functionalisation of a collagen scaffold with PTEN-siRNA, promoting neurite outgrowth.
Got a minute to spare? Why not give TERG's latest piece in #NatureNanotechnology a read!

Great to have Prof Anthony Windebank in @rcsi.bsky.social today to discuss our IRFU Charitable Trust @ambercentre.bsky.social @tissueengdublin.bsky.social collaboration with Mayo Clinic on biomaterials for spinal cord injury.
Well done to @researchireland.ie for developing this ARC hub program. These hubs will be unique & really exciting enablers of innovation in Ireland. Very pleased to be involved both from @rcsi.bsky.social institutional and @tissueengdublin.bsky.social & @ambercentre.bsky.social PI perspective.
Well done to TERG PI Aamir Hameed and Lisa McNamee on organising such an interesting keynote event here in @rcsi.bsky.social today on Space Medicine, with two incredibly impressive female astronauts, Norah Patten and @shawnapandya.bsky.social speaking!
Congratulations to Matthew and thanks to Fabio Quondamatteo and Ed Sander for taking the time to examine Matthew's PhD thesis. We are grateful to the @researchireland.ie @ambercentre.bsky.social for funding this project.
Congratulations to Matthew McGrath on passing his viva today! Matthew's PhD research focused on development of biomimetic multi-layered antimicrobial scaffolds for enhanced wound healing. Thank you to examiners Fabio Quondamatteo and Ed Sander!
