Lampejo A, Fonseca Perez L, Girgis M, Sharma B, Siemann D, Murfee W
J Vasc Res . 2024 Dec; 1-15. PMID: 39701053
Introduction: The tumor microenvironment is comprised of neoplastic cells and a variety of host cell types. Investigation of cell dynamics within this environment has motivated in vitro and ex vivo...

Lampejo A, Lightsey S, Gomes M, Nguyen C, Siemann D, Sharma B, et al.
Ann Biomed Eng . 2024 May; 52(9):2457-2472. PMID: 38796670
Biomimetic tumor microenvironment models bridge the gap between in vitro and in vivo systems and serve as a useful way to address the modeling challenge of how to recreate the...
3.
Lightsey S, Sharma B
Bioengineering (Basel) . 2024 Apr; 11(4). PMID: 38671750
Natural killer (NK) cells, which are an exciting alternative cell source for cancer immunotherapies, must sense and respond to their physical environment to traffic to and eliminate cancer cells. Herein,...

Aldrich J, Panicker A, Ovalle Jr R, Sharma B
Pharmaceuticals (Basel) . 2023 Jul; 16(7). PMID: 37513955
Oxidative stress is an important, but elusive, therapeutic target for osteoarthritis (OA). Antioxidant strategies that target oxidative stress through the elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been widely evaluated...

Liang C, Huang M, Tanaka M, Lightsey S, Temples M, Lepler S, et al.
Methods Mol Biol . 2023 Jun; 2679:95-125. PMID: 37300611
Genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs) and high-resolution confocal microscopy enable dynamic visualization of calcium signals in cells and tissues. Two-dimensional and 3D biocompatible materials mimic the mechanical microenvironments of tumor...

Ajayi T, Liu S, Rosen C, Rinaldi-Ramos C, Allen K, Sharma B
J Control Release . 2023 Mar; 356:347-359. PMID: 36868518
Nanoparticles are a promising approach for improving intra-articular drug delivery and tissue targeting. However, techniques to non-invasively track and quantify their concentration in vivo are limited, resulting in an inadequate...

Klopotowska M, Bajor M, Graczyk-Jarzynka A, Kraft A, Pilch Z, Zhylko A, et al.
Cancer Immunol Res . 2021 Dec; 10(2):228-244. PMID: 34853030
Oxidative stress, caused by the imbalance between reactive species generation and the dysfunctional capacity of antioxidant defenses, is one of the characteristic features of cancer. Here, we quantified hydrogen peroxide...

Temples M, Adjei I, Nimocks P, Djeu J, Sharma B
ACS Biomater Sci Eng . 2021 Jan; 6(7):4179-4199. PMID: 33463353
A critical hurdle associated with natural killer (NK) cell immunotherapies is inadequate infiltration and function in the solid tumor microenvironment. Well-controlled 3D culture systems could advance our understanding of the...
