Louise Hosty presenting her research on developing a pro-angiogenic hyaluronic acid hydrogel decorated with vascular cell-derived extracellular matrix at Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland Research Day 2026!
We are delighted to have the article 'Laser patterning of ECM-derived biomaterials to direct degradation, site-specific resorption, controlled vascularization and functional repair of large nerve defects' published in Acta Biomaterialia! The study details the development of a next generation biomaterial for nerve repair, using tailored laser patterning treatment on a collagen-based biomaterial which may promote early vascularisation and subsequent tissue regeneration. Restoration of peak nerve action potential was restored, with improved muscle preservation shown.
This work was led by Zuzana Kočí and carried out in collaboration with the Research Ireland AMBER Centre, and Integra LifeSciences.
