Research Publications
- First author – "Lyophilization of dehydrated human amniotic membrane: a proactive approach to preserve growth factors for enhanced wound healing" , published in Cell and Tissue Banking (Springer Nature), PMID: 40156630|DOI: 10.1007/s10561-025-10167-2 This study introduced a lyophilization-based preservation strategy for human amniotic membrane, demonstrating enhanced retention of growth factors critical for wound healing. The work provides an important translational step towards developing cost-effective and clinically viable amniotic membrane-based biomaterials for chronic wound treatment
- Co-author – "Bioactive human platelet lysate gel for enhanced proliferation of human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells", published in Cell and Tissue Banking (Springer Nature), DOI: 10.1007/s10561-025-10175-2, this research developed a platelet lysate-based bioactive gel and validated its efficacy in promoting the proliferation of human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs). The study contributes to establishing xeno-free, clinically relevant alternatives for MSC culture and regenerative medicine applications
