Researches

His research interests focus in the field of tissue engineering and environmental remediation with emphasis on the following topics: 

Hydrogels

Hydrogels - a water-rich hydrophilic polymeric environment formed by crosslinking via various ways - has emerged as a ‘Material of Choice’ for a wide range of applications including, regenerative medicine, biosensors, actuators and soft electronics. Over the past few decades, development of hydrogels has witnessed the emergence of a powerful set of new exciting design parameters to improve their ultimate utility. There’s little doubt that creating multifunctional complex hydrogels using high-tech (over-engineering devices) is often plagued by financial considerations and less likely to leave the laboratory table. Our group is endeavoring to design and develop novel ‘softly-cum-simply’ synthesis approach for formulating a variety of robust hydrogels including mechanical characterization and processing into various sizes and shapes. We love to play with crosslinking chemistry to formulate a wide range of hydrogels to meet the end-requirements. Natural and synthetic materials used in the lab include gelatin, chitosan, alginate, starch, PEG, PVA, PLA and PCL.

Recent Works:

A cell friendly synthesis approach is developed to prepare a series of gelatin‐based hybrid hydrogels with different degree of structural and mechanical anisotropy, high porosity, stress relaxation and tunable mechanical properties. The hydrogels prove potential scaffolds for osteogenic/chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells.

Preparation and Properties of High Performance Gelatin-Based Hydrogels with Chitosan or Hydroxyethyl Cellulose for Tissue Engineering Applications

 

Tissue Engineering

An ever-increasing tissue engineering (TE) aims at replacing or regenerating damaged or diseased or lost tissues and organs to improve the quality of living or even save millions of lives. TE also focuses on creating tissue-like model for drug testing and disease research. Every tissue or organ is unique and complex in architecture and function. Regardless of the complexity of the target for repair or reconstruct, tissue engineering adopted a nature-inspired strategy of copying natural extracellular matrix (ECM) of living tissue, which principally works on seeding cells on biomaterials (scaffold) to create implantable pieces of the organism, practically, aim to regenerate almost all tissues. Accumulated evidences indicate that cell function, tissue morphogenesis, and organ development are a compounding feedback system regulated by a fine-tuned interplay among physical, chemical, mechanical and topographical factors. Our team in collaboration with University of Brescia, Italy emphasizes on the intense investigations on designing better ECM-mimetic hydrogels to create bone and cartilage-like tissues using human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). We also focus on the nanomaterial-embedded hybrid hydrogels with more ECM-mimetic architecture, electro-conductivity and improved mechanical integrity to make tissue constructs.

Recent Works:

3D gelatin-chitosan hybrid hydrogels combined with human platelet lysate highly support human mesenchymal stem cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation

Chitosan‐based scaffold counteracts hypertrophic and fibrotic markers in chondrogenic differentiated mesenchymal stromal cells

 

Biomechanics

Biomechanics of the environment (matrix/scaffold/niche) influence a range of cellular activities including migration, adhesion, differentiation and even survival in biomaterial-driven in/ex vivo tissue regeneration. Cells can sense and regulate matrix mechanics to maintain tissue-level structural integrity and functionality. The role of scaffold stiffness on cell fate is extensively studied and established. Recently, literature studies showed that scaffold stress relaxation is an important mechanical cue for cell spreading, proliferation and differentiation in vitro. As the field of tissue engineering progress, there is a need to decipher more mechanical cues of the scaffold that influence cellular function and fate as well as better understanding of the involved dynamic mechanism between cells and microenvironment.

Recent Works:

Dynamic freedom: substrate stress relaxation stimulates cell responses

 

Environmental Remediation & Green Energy

Sustainable energy-efficient technology is a hot issue as a safeguard against man-made environmental pollution and climate change. The 21st century civilization warrants an environmental protection from toxic chemicals and hardly-degradable organic pollutants via a greener and energy-saving approach. The currently used conventional chemical methods stumble to meet the environmental remediation requirements for the 21st century. As such, nanomaterial-based photocatalysis - a UV or visible light illuminated photoreactions over the active catalytic site - has emerged as a potential alternative which is blessed with a plethora of nanostructures for the photodegradation of hazardous pollutants. We focus on the simple yet robust synthesis of nanocomposites (carbon/metal-oxide based nanomaterials plus biopolymers) with enhanced photocatalytic performance under visible-light exposure. Additionally, developing new technology for converting biomass to bioenergy is a core interest.
