Obatala's scientific staff joined with researchers at Louisiana State University, the University of Karachi, and Ohio State University to publish a paper that describes various aspects of a new biomaterial developed at Obatala. The paper discussed rheology studies, quantitative studies, proteomics studies, and electron microscopy. The hydrogel demonstrates biocompatibility as a coating material and as a 3D scaffold for the growth of multiple cell types.
Obatala CEO Collaborates on Publication
Dr. Trivia Frazier joined with an international group of researchers to publish a paper, "Decellularized Human Umbilical Tissue-Derived Hydrogels Promote Proliferation and Chondrogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells" in the journal, Bioengineering. The study discussed in the paper established a protocol for the formuatlion of a hydrogel from decellularized human umbilical cord tissue, and assessed its application in the proliferation and differentation of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells along the chondrogenic lineage.
Obatala Team Published in Stem Cells and Development
In collaboration with authors from South Africa, Poland, and Texas, the Obatala Sciences staff published a paper, "Histology scoring system for murine cutaneous wounds", in an issue of Stem Cells and Development. The purpose of the study was to develop and statistically validate a scoring system based on parameters in each phase of healing that can be easily and accurately assessed using either Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E) or Masson’s Trichrome (MT) staining.
Obatala Publishes Paper in Human Adipose Stem Cells
The Obatala Sciences team published a paper, "Human Adipose-Derived Stromal/Stem Cell Culture and Analysis Methods for Adipose Tissue Modeling In Vitro: A Systematic Review" in a Special Issue of Human Adipose Stem Cells. The lead author on the paper is Peyton Gibler, who worked as an intern at Obatala during the last semester of her Master's degree at Tulane University's Department of Biomedical Engineering. The paper was a review of the current state of hASC culture and assessment methods for adipose tissue engineering using 3D MicroPhysiological Systems.
