Cell imaging by phonon microscopy: sub-optical wavelength ultrasound for non-invasive imaging (2017)
Journal Article
Perez-Cota, F., Smith, R. J., Moradi, E., Leija, A. L., Velickovic, K., Marques, L., …Clark, M. (2017). Cell imaging by phonon microscopy: sub-optical wavelength ultrasound for non-invasive imaging

The mechanical properties of cells play an important role in cell function and behavior. This paper presents recent developments that have enabled the use of laser-generated phonons (ultrasound) with sub-optical wavelengths to look inside living cell...

Thermal imaging is a non-invasive alternative to PET-CT for measurement of brown adipose tissue activity in humans (2017)
Journal Article
Law, J., Morris, D. E., Izzi Engbeaya, C., Salem, V., Coello, C., Robinson, L. J., …Symonds, M. E. (2018). Thermal imaging is a non-invasive alternative to PET-CT for measurement of brown adipose tissue activity in humans. Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 59(3), https://doi.org/10.2967/jnumed.117.190546

Background Obesity and its metabolic consequences are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) utilises glucose and free fatty acids to produce heat, thereby increasing energy expenditure. Effective evaluation of human BA...

Association between infection with H. pylori and atopy in young Ethiopian children: a longitudinal study (2017)
Journal Article
Taye, B., Enquselassie, F., Tsegaye, A., Amberbir, A., Medhin, G., Fogarty, A. W., …Davey, G. (in press). Association between infection with H. pylori and atopy in young Ethiopian children: a longitudinal study. Clinical and Experimental Allergy, 47(10), https://doi.org/10.1111/cea.12995

Background: Epidemiological evidence from developed countries indicates that Helicobacter pylori infection correlates with a reduced risk of atopy and allergic disorders, however limited data are available from low-income countries. Objective: We... Read More about Association between infection with H. pylori and atopy in young Ethiopian children: a longitudinal study.

MRI assessment of the postprandial gastrointestinal motility and peptide response in healthy humans (2017)
Journal Article
Khalaf, A., Hoad, C., Menys, A., Nowak, A., Taylor, S. A., Paparo, S., …Moran, G. W. (2018). MRI assessment of the postprandial gastrointestinal motility and peptide response in healthy humans. Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 30(1), Article e13182. https://doi.org/10.1111/nmo.13182

Background: Feeding triggers inter-related gastrointestinal (GI) motor, peptide and appetite responses. These are rarely studied together due to methodological limitations. Recent MRI advances allow pan-intestinal, non-invasive assessment of motility... Read More about MRI assessment of the postprandial gastrointestinal motility and peptide response in healthy humans.

The differential contribution of the innate immune system to a good pathological response in the breast and axillary lymph nodes induced by neoadjuvant chemotherapy in women with large and locally advanced breast cancers (2017)
Journal Article
Kaewkangsadan, V., Verma, C., Eremin, J. M., Cowley, G. P., Ilyas, M., Satthaporn, S., & Eremin, O. (2017). The differential contribution of the innate immune system to a good pathological response in the breast and axillary lymph nodes induced by neoadjuvant chemotherapy in women with large and locally advanced breast cancers. Journal of Immunology Research, 2017, Article 1049023. https://doi.org/10.1155/2017/1049023

The tumour microenvironment consists of malignant cells, stroma, and immune cells. The role of adaptive immunity in inducing a pathological complete response (pCR) in breast cancer with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is well studied. The contribution...

Peptide hydrogels — a tissue engineering strategy for the prevention of oesophageal strictures (2017)
Journal Article
Kumar, D., Workman, V., O'Brien, M. C., McLaren, J. S., White, L. J., Ragunath, K., …Rose, F. R. (2017). Peptide hydrogels — a tissue engineering strategy for the prevention of oesophageal strictures. Advanced Functional Materials, 27(38), Article 1702424. https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.201702424

Endoscopic treatment of Barrett’s oesophagus often leads to further damage of healthy tissue causing fibrotic tissue formation termed as strictures. This study shows that synthetic, self-assembling peptide hydrogels (PeptiGelDesign) support the activ...

Plausibility criteria for putative pathophysiological mechanisms in functional gastrointestinal disorders: a consensus of experts (2017)
Journal Article
Tack, J., Corsetti, M., Camilleri, M., Quigley, A., Simren, M., Suzuki, H., …Van Oudenhove, L. (in press). Plausibility criteria for putative pathophysiological mechanisms in functional gastrointestinal disorders: a consensus of experts. Gut, https://doi.org/10.1136/gutjnl-2016-312230

The functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), are extremely common conditions associated with a considerable personal, social and health economic burden. Managing FGIDs in clinical practice is challenging because of the uncertainty of symptom-ba...

Intragastric infusion of the bitter tastant quinine suppresses hormone release and antral motility during the fasting state in health female volunteers (2017)
Journal Article
Deloose, E., Corsetti, M., Van Oudenhove, L., Depoortere, I., & Tack, J. (2017). Intragastric infusion of the bitter tastant quinine suppresses hormone release and antral motility during the fasting state in health female volunteers. Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 30(1), Article e13171. https://doi.org/10.1111/nmo.13171

Intragastric administration of the bitter tastant denatonium benzoate inhibits the increase of motilin plasma levels and antral contractility. While these findings suggest that gastrointestinal bitter taste receptors could be new targets to modulate...
