Ymchwil
Celloedd Propria-Progenitor Mucosal Llafar ar gyfer atgyweirio meinwe:
Mae clwyfau yn y geg yn gwella'n dda iawn o'u cymharu â chlwyfau croen arferol gan eu bod yn dangos ychydig neu ddim creithiau o gwbl. Rydym wedi bod yn ymchwilio i'r celloedd o feinweoedd meddal yn y geg ac wedi dangos eu bod yn wahanol i gelloedd croen ac mewn gwirionedd yn debycach i gelloedd y ffetws. Awgrymodd hyn y gall y celloedd o'r geg fod yn debycach i fôn-gelloedd mewn gwirionedd. Mae ein gwaith diweddar wedi nodi cell mor debyg i fôn-gelloedd yn y geg a all wneud gwahanol fathau o feinweoedd, yn gryf wrth is-reoleiddio'r system imiwnedd ac mae ganddynt eiddo gwrth-bacteriol. Felly, gall celloedd o'r fath fod yn ddefnyddiol i (a) helpu i atgyweirio/adfywio meinwe sydd wedi'i difrodi neu wedi'i heintio, (b) helpu i is-reoleiddio'r system imiwnedd yn ystod trawsblannu neu ar ôl i unigolion ddioddef o glefydau awtoimiwn a (c) bod yn ddefnyddiol wrth frwydro yn erbyn heintiau / canser. Yn bwysig, oherwydd bod meinwe sy'n cynnwys y celloedd llafar yn hawdd ei gyrchu a'i wella heb graith, gallai hyn fod y ffynhonnell ffafriol ar gyfer bôn-gelloedd ar gyfer therapi cleifion yn y dyfodol (patentau a ddyfarnwyd ac a ffeiliwyd; a ariennir gan yr MRC).
Gwella clwyfau cronig:
Rydym wedi bod â diddordeb hirdymor yn y sbectrwm o ymatebion clwyfau, gan gynnwys y rhai nad ydynt yn gwella (wlserau gwythiennol cronig, wlserau traed diabetig). Rydym eisoes wedi dangos, trwy ein dadansoddiadau in vitro , fod ymatebion moleciwlaidd a cellog ffibroblastau o glwyfau cronig yn gamweithredol. Mae hyn yn cynnwys ein harsylwadau bod ffibroblastau clwyfau cronig yn dangos senescence cynamserol sy'n effeithio ar eu gallu i yrru gwaith atgyweirio'r clwyf sy'n ddyledus i ddiffyg cynhyrchu sawl chemocinau allweddol. Rydym bellach yn datblygu'r straeniau cronig hyn yn llinellau celloedd clwyfau cronig wedi'u nodweddu'n dda a allai fod â'r potensial i gymryd lle rhywfaint o arbrofi anifeiliaid ar gyfer cyn-sgrinio deunyddiau yn y dyfodol a allai gael effeithiau buddiol i ddioddefwyr clwyfau cronig.
Olrhain bôn-gelloedd:
Un o'r prif rwystrau i gyfieithu mewn perthynas ag olrhain llinach/tynged bôn-gelloedd yw'r gallu i ddelweddu celloedd o fewn meinweoedd 3D mewn amser real. Yn draddodiadol, ceisiwyd defnyddio technegau delweddu golau sy'n seiliedig ar fflworoleuedd gyda galluoedd adrannol 3D megis confocal laser-sganio neu ficrosgopeg aml-ffoton i ddarparu delweddu meintiol, amser real o gelloedd. Fodd bynnag, mae dull o'r fath yn gyfyngedig oherwydd ffotoblethu ac effeithiau ffotowenwynig y label fflworochrome / moiety a ddefnyddir. Felly, rydym yn gweithio ar draws disgyblaethau (Ffiseg a Chemeg) i ddatblygu dulliau delweddu newydd, annistrywiol (PET ac MRI) i olrhain bôn-gelloedd a'u hepil mewn amser real mewn cleifion (a ariennir gan yr EPSRC ac Ymddiriedolaeth Wellcome).

Bywgraffiad
Ar hyn o bryd mae'r Athro Phil Stephens yn Athro Bioleg Cell ac yn Gyfarwyddwr Materion Rhyngwladol yn yr Ysgol Deintyddiaeth, Coleg y Gwyddorau Biofeddygol a Bywyd, Prifysgol Caerdydd. Symudodd i Brifysgol Caerdydd yn 1994 fel Ymchwilydd Ôl-Ddoethurol ar ôl ennill gradd anrhydedd dosbarth cyntaf a PhD o Brifysgol Leeds. Wedi hynny sefydlodd y Grŵp Bioleg Clwyfau gyda chydweithiwr clinigol. Mae ei ddiddordebau ymchwil yn y meysydd celloedd progenitor llafar, gwella clwyfau gwahaniaethol, heneiddio, peirianneg meinwe, systemau model amnewid anifeiliaid a delweddu cellog. O fewn y meysydd hyn mae wedi rheoli prosiectau ymchwil (Cyngor Ymchwil, Elusen a Diwydiant) sy'n dod i gyfanswm o dros £4.5 miliwn, a gyhoeddwyd yn eang, ffeilio patentau ac mae ei grŵp wedi ennill llawer o wobrau Cenedlaethol a Rhyngwladol. Yn allanol, mae'n gweithio'n agos gyda sefydliadau fel y Ganolfan Genedlaethol ar gyfer y Disodli, Mireinio a Lleihau Anifeiliaid mewn Ymchwil ac yn adolygu ceisiadau grant a llawysgrifau ar gyfer nifer o gyllidwyr/cylchgronau cenedlaethol a rhyngwladol. Ef hefyd yw Arweinydd Academaidd Banc Bio Prifysgol Caerdydd sy'n cyflenwi biosamplau dynol ar gyfer ymchwil sy'n canolbwyntio ar wella iechyd pobl.
