[Prof. Fergal O'Brien @fjobrien]

Very pleased to have this paper published in @ActaBio in collaboration with @BushanDeepak in @lunduniversity demonstrating efficacy of using our @TissueEngDublin scaffolds for low dose #BMP2/7 delivery https://t.co/qYeeNZFms2 @eamonjsheehy

[John Gleeson @gleesoj]

Great team effort @fjobrien @eamonjsheehy @RCSI_Research @TissueEngDublin to be nominated for this year's Seedcorn Regional competition (as Velent)! Keep an eye out for our new Company branding and twitter updates "Tympulse Medical" - you heard it here first

[Prof. Fergal O'Brien @fjobrien]

Really delighted we’ve won the KTI Commercialisation Award for the licensing of 3 #biomaterial technologies from @TissueEngDublin to @LocateBio Particular credit and thanks must go to @eephs & the @RCSI_Irl innovation team for this success.

[Eamon Sheehy @eamonjsheehy]

@JellagenLtd Congrats to all the team.

[James Stephens GAA & Camogie Club @VillageGAA]

10 years ago today the club won their 9th senior county hurling title as Eoin Larkin gave us the gift of perfect hurling.

[European Research Council (ERC) @ERC_Research]

There's🆕hope for patients with large #bone defects!

ERC grantee @fjobrien @RCSI_Irl developed a #biomaterial that can regrow #blood🩸vessels and regenerate bones🦴: https://t.co/bhDWtajipB

[O.K. Biomechanics Laboratory @OKLaboratory]

We are hiring! The Kennedy Lab is looking to fill a post-doctoral fellow position to study bone-cartilage crosstalk in joint disease, and also a PhD studentship to develop microneedle technology for drug delivery @anat_soc @AnatRcsi @TissueEngDublin @RCSI_postgrad @RCSI_Research

Final version of this article is now online in @JCRnEDITORS. In the work we execute a #mechanobiology-informed approach to regenerative medicine and demonstrate bone repair in vivo via #scaffold-mediated delivery of placental growth factor. https://t.co/B5Dacc0mD9

[RCSI @RCSI_Irl]

A new biomaterial could potentially provide a single-stage approach when repairing large bone defects.

The work, led by RCSI Prof. @fjobrien and Dr @eamonjsheehy, is published in @JCRnEDITORS. https://t.co/YhD3iYIZ28

[Eamon Sheehy @eamonjsheehy]

By executing this "#mechanobiology-informed" approach to regenerative medicine, we provide a new framework for the identification and evaluation of novel scaffold-based systems for tissue engineering applications. Thanks to co-authors @fjobrien @Gyveth @isabelanatomy @RMRaftery

[Eamon Sheehy @eamonjsheehy]

Delighted to see this work published. Having previously identified PGF as a mechanosensitive therapeutic with a dose-dependent effect on angiogenesis/osteogenesis, we sought to develop a #scaffold capable of recapitulating these key aspects of #bone regeneration. @TissueEngDublin

[J Controlled Release @JCRnEDITORS]

Mechanobiology-informed regenerative medicine: Dose-controlled release of placental growth factor from a functionalized collagen-based scaffold promotes angiogenesis and accelerates bone defect healing.

[Eamon Sheehy @eamonjsheehy]

Robust bone formation was observed following implantation of the scaffold in vivo, demonstrating that the dose-dependent effect of PGF can be harnessed as an alternative to multi-drug systems for the delivery of both pro-angiogenic and pro-osteogenic cues.

[Austyn Matheson @AustynMatheson]

Check out our new article @mechbiomat. We used the @biomomentum Mach 1 tester to examine the frictional properties of cartilage biomaterials developed by @TissueEngDublin. RhPRG4 (@LubrisBio) reduced friction of biomaterials. @UCalgaryBME @EamonJSheehy @FJOBrien @TanninSchmidt

[Eamon Sheehy @eamonjsheehy]

New paper led by @AustynMatheson out in @mechbiomat. Austyn developed a scaffold-on-glass friction test which was leveraged to determine the effect of synovial fluid lubricants on the frictional properties of ECM-derived #scaffolds for #cartilage repair. https://t.co/Gz3KHACkw4

[Eamon Sheehy @eamonjsheehy]

Thanks to everyone in @TissueEngDublin and @RCSI_Research for their contribution to this award. It's fantastic to see technologies developed in our lab being commercialised. 🦴🧬🏥

[RCSI TERG @TissueEngDublin]

In addition, we were delighted to receive the CEO Commercialization Innovation Award for the licensing of 3 technologies on bone & cartilage repair and bone infection to @LocateBio in 2020. @eamonjsheehy #RCSIResearchDay

[Claire McCoy @clairemccoy_dub]

Super thrilled to get our paper out!! Thanks to @DowlingJK83 @RNAngel394 for all their hard work and to all our amazing collaborators. Happy Friday 😊 @RCSI_Irl @RCSIPharmBioMol @RCSI_Research
