Hierarchically Structured Biodegradable Microspheres Promote Therapeutic Angiogenesis (2024)
Journal Article
Hendow, E., Iacoviello, F., Ester, M., Pellet-Many, C., & Day, R. (2024). Hierarchically Structured Biodegradable Microspheres Promote Therapeutic Angiogenesis. Advanced Healthcare Materials, https://doi.org/10.1002/adhm.202401832

Promoting neovascularization is a prerequisite for many tissue engineering applications and the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Delivery of a pro-angiogenic stimulus via acellular materials offers several benefits over biological therapies but h...

The zebrafish cardiac endothelial cell – roles in development and regeneration (2021)
Journal Article
Pellet-Many, C., Lowe, V., & Wisniewski, L. (2021). The zebrafish cardiac endothelial cell – roles in development and regeneration. Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease,

In zebrafish, the spatiotemporal development of the vascular system is well described due to its stereotypical nature. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms orchestrating post embryonic vascular development, the maintenance of vascular homeo...

Emerging Roles for Neuropilin-2 in Cardiovascular Disease (2020)
Journal Article
Harman, J. L., Sayers, J., Chapman, C., & Pellet-Many, C. (2020). Emerging Roles for Neuropilin-2 in Cardiovascular Disease. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 21(14), 5154. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms21145154

Cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death worldwide, is predominantly associated with atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by the narrowing of large to medium-sized arteries due to a build-up of pl...

Microporous Biodegradable Films Promote Therapeutic Angiogenesis (2020)
Journal Article
Hendow, E., Moazen, M., Iacoviello, F., Bozec, L., Pellet‐Many, C., & Day, R. (2020). Microporous Biodegradable Films Promote Therapeutic Angiogenesis. Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2000806

Peripheral arterial disease and critical limb ischemia are common symptoms of cardiovascular disease. Vascular surgery is used to create a bypass around occluded blood vessels to improve blood flow to ischemic muscle, thus avoiding the need for amput...

Neuropilin 1 mediates epicardial activation and revascularization in the regenerating zebrafish heart (2019)
Journal Article
Lowe, V., Wisniewski, L., Sayers, J., Evans, I., Frankel, P., Mercader-Huber, N., Zachary, I. C., & Pellet-Many, C. (2019). Neuropilin 1 mediates epicardial activation and revascularization in the regenerating zebrafish heart. Development, 146, https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.174482

Unlike adult mammals, zebrafish can regenerate their heart. A key mechanism for regeneration is the activation of the epicardium, leading to the establishment of a supporting scaffold for new cardiomyocytes, angiogenesis and cytokine secretion. Neuro...

Smooth muscle cell-specific knockout of neuropilin-1 impairs postnatal lung development and pathological vascular smooth muscle cell accumulation (2019)
Journal Article
Mahmoud, M., Evans, I. M., Mehta, V., Pellet-Many, C., Paliashvili, K., & Zachary, I. (2019). Smooth muscle cell-specific knockout of neuropilin-1 impairs postnatal lung development and pathological vascular smooth muscle cell accumulation. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpcell.00405.2018

Neuropilin 1 (NRP1) is important for neuronal and cardiovascular development due to its role in conveying class 3 semaphorin and vascular endothelial growth factor signaling, respectively. NRP1 is expressed in smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and mediates...

Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Ubiquitination and De-Ubiquitination in Signal Transduction and Receptor Trafficking (2018)
Journal Article
Critchley, W. R., Pellet-Many, C., Ringham-Terry, B., Harrison, M. A., Zachary, I. C., & Ponnamblalam, S. (2018). Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Ubiquitination and De-Ubiquitination in Signal Transduction and Receptor Trafficking. Cells, 7(3), https://doi.org/10.3390/cells7030022

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are membrane-based sensors that enable rapid communication between cells and their environment. Evidence is now emerging that interdependent regulatory mechanisms, such as membrane trafficking, ubiquitination, proteol...
