Non-invasive hydrodynamic imaging in plant roots at cellular resolution (2021)
Journal Article
Pascut, F. C., Couvreur, V., Dietrich, D., Leftley, N., Reyt, G., Boursiac, Y., …Webb, K. F. (2021). Non-invasive hydrodynamic imaging in plant roots at cellular resolution. Nature Communications, 12(1), 1-7. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-24913-z

A key impediment to studying water-related mechanisms in plants is the inability to non-invasively image water fluxes in cells at high temporal and spatial resolution. Here, we report that Raman microspectroscopy, complemented by hydrodynamic modelli... Read More about Non-invasive hydrodynamic imaging in plant roots at cellular resolution.

TEM tomography of pores with application to computational nanoscale flows in nanoporous silicon nitride (NPN) (2018)
Journal Article
Madejski, G., Lucas, K., Pascut, F. C., Webb, K. F., & McGrath, J. L. (2018). TEM tomography of pores with application to computational nanoscale flows in nanoporous silicon nitride (NPN). Membranes, 8(2), Article 26. https://doi.org/10.3390/membranes8020026

Silicon nanomembrane technologies (NPN, pnc-Si, and others) have been used commercially as electron microscopy (EM) substrates, and as filters with nanometer-resolution size cut-offs. Combined with EM, these materials provide a platform for catching... Read More about TEM tomography of pores with application to computational nanoscale flows in nanoporous silicon nitride (NPN).

Applications of Raman micro-spectroscopy to stem cell technology: label-free molecular discrimination and monitoring cell differentiation. (2015)
Journal Article
Ghita, A., Pascut, F. C., Sottile, V., Denning, C., & Notingher, I. (2015). Applications of Raman micro-spectroscopy to stem cell technology: label-free molecular discrimination and monitoring cell differentiation. EPJ Techniques and Instrumentation, 2, Article 6. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjti/s40485-015-0016-8

Stem cell therapy is widely acknowledged as a key medical technology of the 21st century which may provide treatments for many currently incurable diseases. These cells have an enormous potential for cell replacement therapies to cure diseases such a...

Monitoring the mineralisation of bone nodules in vitro by space- and time-resolved Raman micro-spectroscopy. (2013)
Journal Article
Ghita, A., Pascut, F. C., Sottile, V., & Notingher, I. (2013). Monitoring the mineralisation of bone nodules in vitro by space- and time-resolved Raman micro-spectroscopy. Analyst, 139(1), https://doi.org/10.1039/C3AN01716H

Raman microscopy was used as a label-free method to study the mineralisation of bone nodules formed by mesenchymal stem cells cultured in osteogenic medium in vitro. Monitoring individual bone nodules over 28 days revealed temporal and spatial change...
