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...

Background

This field-based study examined the abundance and species complement of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) attracted to humans at four sites in the United Kingdom (UK). The study used a systematic approach to directly measure feeding by mo...

A novel 3D skin explant model to study anaerobic bacterial infection (2017)
Journal Article
Maboni, G., Davenport, R., Sessford, K., Baiker, K., Jensen, T. K., Blanchard, A. M., …Tötemeyer, S. (2017). A novel 3D skin explant model to study anaerobic bacterial infection. Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 7, Article 404. https://doi.org/10.3389/fcimb.2017.00404

Skin infection studies are often limited by financial and ethical constraints, and alternatives, such as monolayer cell culture, do not reflect many cellular processes limiting their application. For a more functional replacement, 3D skin culture mod... Read More about A novel 3D skin explant model to study anaerobic bacterial infection.

A quantitative systems pharmacology approach, incorporating a novel liver model, for predicting pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions (2017)
Journal Article

Relative importance of herd-level risk factors for probability of infection with paratuberculosis in Irish dairy herds (2017)
Journal Article
McAloon, C. G., Doherty, M. L., Whyte, P., More, S. J., O'Grady, L., Citer, L., & Green, M. J. (2017). Relative importance of herd-level risk factors for probability of infection with paratuberculosis in Irish dairy herds. Journal of Dairy Science, 100(11), 9245-9257. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2017-12985

Control of paratuberculosis is challenging due to the relatively poor performance of diagnostic tests, a prolonged incubation period, and protracted environmental survival. Prioritization of herd-level interventions is not possible because putative r...
