    Abstract: An apparatus capable of determining the force applied to the tip of an electrical impedance spectroscopy probe comprises: ⋅an elongate probe comprising a probe tip attached to a handle, the probe tip having a substantially planar distal end for contacting human or animal tissue; ⋅a load cell located in said handle and capable of measuring a force Floadcell applied axially along a longitudinal axis when said probe tip is in contact with said human or animal tissue; ⋅an accelerometer located in the handle for measuring a gravity vector Aaxial; ⋅processing means for compensating for the mass of the probe tip using said measured force and gravity vector to produce a calibrated measurement of force F applied to said probe tip.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a medium for storing, preserving, culturing, and/or differentiating stem cells. The medium employs a synthetic thermo-responsive copolymer, dispersed in an aqueous vehicle, which allows the medium to be readily “switched” between a non-gelatinous (fluid) form and a gelatinous form by simply adjusting temperature across the gelling temperature of the medium. As such, stem cells can be easily captured within a 3D gel matrix by simply mixing the stem cells with the non-gelatinous/fluid form of the medium and then gelling the medium by adjusting the temperature across the gelling temperature of the medium. The stem cells encapsulated within the gelatinous form of the medium may then be preserved for a significant time period before either using the stem cells directly within the medium (e.g. in therapy, or in culturing, differentiation, and such like), or after their extraction from the medium.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cell-free, multi-layered medical device having bespoke, multifunctional bioactivity for the purpose of regeneration of skeletal tissues. The medical device may actively promote homing of stem cells into the medical device and promote their differentiation into the required cell type and promote de-novo tissue formation. The invention includes methods of making the medical device, uses of the medical device in promoting regeneration of the articular cartilage of a joint surface and in promoting healing and regeneration of skeletal tissues, for example, meniscal cartilage, tendon and ligament tissues and also healing of bone tissue indications such as fractures.
