This project aims to understand the behaviour of haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in novel 3D scaffolds based on short silk nanofibres. This will lead to highly functional 3D scaffolding materials that support efficient HSC renewal in vitro. This project aims to overcome the key problem with existing in vitro systems, which lack the morphological and biochemical complexities of native HSC-niche. Since haematopoietic stem cells are the precursors to all blood cells, this project has the potential of engineering a high yield artificial ‘blood factory’, which will help save the lives of many thousands of people who rely on bone marrow transplants to treat life-threatening illness such as leukaemia.

该项目旨在了解造血干细胞（HSC）在基于短丝纳米纤维的新型3D支架中的行为。这将导致高功能的3D支架材料，支持体外高效的HSC更新。该项目旨在克服现有体外系统的关键问题，即缺乏天然HSC生态位的形态和生化复杂性。由于造血干细胞是所有血细胞的前体，该项目有可能设计一个高产量的人工“血液工厂”，这将有助于挽救成千上万依赖骨髓移植治疗白血病等危及生命的疾病的人的生命。
