Journal Article
Vasilev, A., Sofi, R., Smith, S. J., Rahman, R., Teschemacher, A. G., & Kasparov, S. (2021). Feasibility of Photodynamic Therapy for Glioblastoma with the Mitochondria-Targeted Photosensitizer Tetramethylrhodamine Methyl Ester (TMRM). Biomedicines, 9(10), Article 1453. https://doi.org/10.3390/biomedicines9101453

One of the most challenging problems in the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) is the highly infiltrative nature of the disease. Infiltrating cells that are non-resectable are left behind after debulking surgeries and become a source of regrowth and rec...

Journal Article
Kumaria, A., Gruener, A. M., Dow, G. R., Smith, S. J., Macarthur, D. C., & Ingale, H. (2022). An Explanation for Terson Syndrome at Last: the Glymphatic Reflux Theory. Journal of Neurology, 269(3), 1264-1271. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00415-021-10686-4

Terson Syndrome (TS) describes the presence of intraocular hemorrhage in patients with intracranial hemorrhage, typically subarachnoid hemorrhage. Despite TS being a well-defined and frequently occurring phenomenon, its pathophysiology remains contro... Read More about An Explanation for Terson Syndrome at Last: the Glymphatic Reflux Theory.
