Immunological responses to hydrogel-aided induced pluripotent stem cell-derived dopaminergic progenitor transplants in immunodeficient versus cyclosporine immunosuppressed rats.

Giulia Comini, Tommy Patton, Nicola J. Drummond…·Eilís Dowd

This study compares immune responses to dopaminergic progenitor transplants in immunodeficient and cyclosporine-immunosuppressed rats, finding that hydrogel benefits depend on immunosuppression adequacy.

Healing helminths: The disease-modifying potential of helminth-derived proteins in animal models of inflammatory disease

Sienna Stucke, Aonghus J. Feeney, Richard Lalor…·Eilís Dowd

This paper reviews and quantitatively analyzes studies on helminth-derived immunomodulatory proteins in animal models of inflammatory diseases, finding they reduce disease severity by modulating cytokine levels.

The anti-inflammatory potential of helminth-derived peptides/polypeptides: A systematic review in cellular models of inflammation

Sienna Stucke, Aonghus Feeney, Richard Lalor…·Eilís Dowd

This review evaluates helminth-derived peptides' effects on inflammation in cellular models, finding they reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines and increase anti-inflammatory ones, suggesting therapeutic potential.

Human stem cell transplantation for Parkinson's disease: A systematic review of in situ survival and maturation of progenitors derived from human embryonic or induced stem cells in Parkinsonian models.

Giulia Comini, Eilís Dowd

This review assesses graft survival and dopaminergic differentiation of stem cell-derived progenitors in Parkinson's models, finding median survival of 51% and differentiation of 3%.
