- This international collaborative paper combines multidisciplinary expertise to develop highly porous polymeric substrates as implantable carriers of human retinal pigmented epithelial cells for the study and treatment of age-related macular degeneration. The novel work reports for the first time the conditions required to deposit conformally aligned human collagen onto a fibrous mesh using an atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) in air The Ulster contribution to the work was funded in part from a £4.2M EPSRC Grand Challenge Award (EP/C534247/1) - “Regenerative Medicine – A New Industry (Remedi)” (Core collaborators: Universities of Loughborough, Nottingham, Ulster, Cambridge, Birmingham, and Liverpool).
