Combinatorial discovery of polymers resistant to bacterial attachment (2012)
Journal Article
Hook, A. L., Chang, C., Yang, J., Luckett, J., Cockayne, A., Atkinson, S., …Alexander, M. R. (2012). Combinatorial discovery of polymers resistant to bacterial attachment. Nature Biotechnology, 30(9), 868-875. https://doi.org/10.1038/nbt.2316

Bacterial attachment and subsequent biofilm formation pose key challenges to the optimal performance of medical devices. In this study, we determined the attachment of selected bacterial species to hundreds of polymeric materials in a high-throughput...

Tissue transglutaminase (TG-2) modified amniotic membrane: A novel scaffold for biomedical applications (2012)
Journal Article
Chau, D. Y., Brown, S. V., Mather, M. L., Hutter, V., Tint, N. L., Dua, H. S., …Ghaemmaghami, A. M. (2012). Tissue transglutaminase (TG-2) modified amniotic membrane: A novel scaffold for biomedical applications. Biomedical Materials, 7(4), Article 045011. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-6041/7/4/045011

The amniotic membrane (AM) is considered as a natural cell culture substrate and has occasionally been exploited in regenerative medicine especially for ocular surface reconstruction and dermal wound healing applications. However, its use is limited... Read More about Tissue transglutaminase (TG-2) modified amniotic membrane: A novel scaffold for biomedical applications.

Three-dimensional pharmacophore design and biochemical screening identifies substituted 1,2,4-triazoles as inhibitors of the annexin A2-S100A10 protein interaction (2012)
Journal Article
Reddy, T. R., Li, C., Fischer, P. M., & Dekker, L. V. (2012). Three-dimensional pharmacophore design and biochemical screening identifies substituted 1,2,4-triazoles as inhibitors of the annexin A2-S100A10 protein interaction. ChemMedChem, 7(8), https://doi.org/10.1002/cmdc.201200107

Protein interactions are increasingly appreciated as targets in small-molecule drug discovery. The interaction between the adapter protein S100A10 and its binding partner annexin A2 is a potentially important drug target. To obtain small-molecule sta...

Sustained translational repression by eIF2?-P mediates prion neurodegeneration (2012)
Journal Article
Moreno, J. A., Radford, H., Peretti, D., Steinert, J. R., Verity, N., Martin, M. G., …Mallucci, G. R. (2012). Sustained translational repression by eIF2α-P mediates prion neurodegeneration. Nature, 485(7399), 507-511. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature11058

The mechanisms leading to neuronal death in neurodegenerative disease are poorly understood. Many of these disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and prion diseases, are associated with the accumulation of misfolded disease-specific proteins....

Professional skills development in a resource-poor setting: the case of pharmacy in Malawi (2012)
Journal Article
Lim, Z., Anderson, C., & McGrath, S. (2012). Professional skills development in a resource-poor setting: the case of pharmacy in Malawi. International Journal of Educational Development, 32(5), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijedudev.2012.01.004

The dominance of the human capital approach in vocational skills development has been increasingly questioned for being de-humanised and de-contextualised. Contrary to this trend, the discourse in health professional skills development has shown incr...
