Whiteford's Lab

Excited to share that the latest publication of the lab is now out in @SciReports! Although the potency of these compounds must be improved , we believe that this work represents a first step towards their translational deployment. @BSMB1 @IntSocMatBio @UProteoglycans

@GDR_tweets @ScienceTM Great news Giulia, many congratulations

📢Our new paper is out in @ScienceTM 📢 Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness. Patients show vascular changes in their retinas long before vision starts to deteriorate. What triggers these early defects? Could targeting them prevent vision loss? 🧵

Dear Fellow Matrix Biologists, Registration for the @BSMB1 Surrey 2025 meeting ends on 13th August! If you cannot attend in person, you have now an option to attend remotely. Carers'grants available by submitting a cover letter to BSMBSurrey2025@surrey.ac.uk

Dear fellow Matrix Biologists, I am thrilled to invite you to the next BSMB Autumn meeting in Guildford: Uncovering the Matrisome: advances and trends in Matrix Research and in associated matrix research. @BSMB @ISMB bsmbsurrey2025.wixsite.com/bsmb-autumn-20…

It's starting! #BSMB2025 with a very international delegate pool #ECMatrix #ScienceNoBoundaries @BSMB1

#nvAMD is the most common cause of visual impairment among older patients in developed countries and current treatments don't work for all patients and often have short-lived efficacy.

🚨New paper alert!🚨@LabWhiteford and I are excited to share our latest research published in @BrJPharmacol describing the development and pre-clinical testing 🧪of a novel peptide for neovascular (or wet) age-related macular degeneration (nvAMD). (Quick 🧵below)
