Journal Article
Hui, S., Turner, S., Leaman, T., de Brot, S., & Barakzai, S. (2016). Quadrilateral suspensory and straight sesamoidean ligament calcifying desmopathy in an Arabian mare. Equine Veterinary Education, 30(8), 419-423. https://doi.org/10.1111/eve.12705

A 5-year-old Arabian mare was referred for the investigation of recent behavioural change, generalised stiffness, and owner-reported polyuria and polydipsia. Clinical examination revealed severe pain associated with palpation along the entire length...

Objective: To explore women’s experience of anxiety in pregnancy and views on the use of anxiety instruments in antenatal care.

Background: Anxiety in pregnancy is associated with adverse birth outcomes, developmental and behavioural problems in... Read More about Women’s views on anxiety in pregnancy and the use of anxiety instruments: a qualitative study.

Solution conformation and flexibility of capsular polysaccharides from Neisseria meningitidis and glycoconjugates with the tetanus toxoid protein (2016)
Journal Article
Abdelhameed, A. S., Morris, G. A., Almutairi, F., Adams, G. G., Duvivier, P., Conrath, K., & Harding, S. E. (in press). Solution conformation and flexibility of capsular polysaccharides from Neisseria meningitidis and glycoconjugates with the tetanus toxoid protein. Scientific Reports, 6(1), 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep35588

The structural integrity of meningococcal native, micro-fluidized and activated capsular polysaccharides and their glycoconjugates – in the form most relevant to their potential use as vaccines (dilute solution) - have been investigated with respect...

Developing Mn-doped lead sulfide quantum dots for MRI labels (2016)
Journal Article
Turyanska, L., Moro, F., Patanè, A., Barr, J., Köckenberger, W., Taylor, A., Faas, H., Fowler, M. J., Wigmore, P., Trueman, R. C., Williams, H. E. L., & Thomas, N. R. (2016). Developing Mn-doped lead sulfide quantum dots for MRI labels. Journal of Materials Chemistry B, 4(42), 6797-6802. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6tb02574a

Magnetic interactions of Mn2+ions in lead sulfide (PbS) nanocrystals with protons in water are probed by NMR and MRI. A thin layer of capping molecules enables free solvent diffusion to the nanocrystal surface resulting in a decrease of proton relaxa...

A paper-based in vitro model for on-chip investigation of the human respiratory system (2016)
Journal Article
Rahimi, R., Htwe, S. S., Ochoa, M., Donaldson, A., Zieger, M., Sood, R., Tamayol, A., Khademhosseini, A., Ghaemmaghami, A. M., & Ziaie, B. (in press). A paper-based in vitro model for on-chip investigation of the human respiratory system. Lab on a Chip, 16(22), https://doi.org/10.1039/C6LC00866F

Culturing cells at the air–liquid interface (ALI) is essential for creating functional in vitro models of lung tissues. We present the use of direct-patterned laser-treated hydrophobic paper as an effective semi-permeable membrane, ideal for ALI cell...

Effective antigen presentation to helper T cells by human eosinophils (2016)
Journal Article
Farhan, R. K., Vickers, M. A., Ghaemmaghami, A. M., Hall, A. M., Barker, R. N., & Walsh, G. M. (in press). Effective antigen presentation to helper T cells by human eosinophils. Immunology, https://doi.org/10.1111/imm.12658

Although eosinophils are inflammatory cells, there is increasing attention on their immunomodulatory roles. For example, murine eosinophils can present antigen to CD4+ T helper (Th) cells, but it remains unclear whether human eosinophils also have th...
