Journal Article
Dinu, V., Lu, Y., Weston, N., Lithgo, R., Coupe, H., Channell, G., …Harding, S. E. (2020). The antibiotic vancomycin induces complexation and aggregation of gastrointestinal and submaxillary mucins. Scientific Reports, 10(1), Article 960. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-57776-3

© 2020, The Author(s). Vancomycin, a branched tricyclic glycosylated peptide antibiotic, is a last-line defence against serious infections caused by staphylococci, enterococci and other Gram-positive bacteria. Orally-administered vancomycin is the dr... Read More about The antibiotic vancomycin induces complexation and aggregation of gastrointestinal and submaxillary mucins.

Combined hydrogels that switch human pluripotent stem cells from self-renewal to differentiation (2014)
Journal Article
Dixon, J. E., Shah, D. A., Rogers, C., Hall, S., Weston, N., Parmenter, C. D., …Shakesheff, K. M. (2014). Combined hydrogels that switch human pluripotent stem cells from self-renewal to differentiation. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 111(15), 5580-5585. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1319685111

The ability of materials to define the architecture and microenvironment experienced by cells provides new opportunities to direct the fate of human pluripotent stem cells (HPSCs) [Robinton DA, Daley GQ (2012) Nature 481(7381):295-305]. However, the... Read More about Combined hydrogels that switch human pluripotent stem cells from self-renewal to differentiation.
