Study of NAP adsorption and assembly on the surface of HOPG (2014)
Journal Article
Korolkov, V. V., Allen, S., Roberts, C. J., Gozes, I., & Tendler, S. J. (2014). Study of NAP adsorption and assembly on the surface of HOPG. Peptides, 62, 55-58. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.peptides.2014.09.017

NAP is an octapeptide that has demonstrated a neuroprotective/therapeutic efficacy at very low concentrations in preclinical studies and in a number of clinical trials. Yet little is known about its structural organization at low concentrations. Here... Read More about Study of NAP adsorption and assembly on the surface of HOPG.

Exploiting the kinetic interplay between GPIb -VWF binding interfaces to regulate hemostasis and thrombosis (2014)
Journal Article
Chen, J., Zhou, H., Diacovo, A., Zheng, X. L., Emsley, J., & Diacovo, T. G. (2014). Exploiting the kinetic interplay between GPIb -VWF binding interfaces to regulate hemostasis and thrombosis. Blood, 124(25), https://doi.org/10.1182/blood-2014-04-569392

Platelet–von Willebrand factor (VWF) interactions must be tightly regulated in order to promote effective hemostasis and prevent occlusive thrombus formation. However, it is unclear what role the inherent properties of the bond formed between the pla...

In vivo evaluation of different formulation strategies for sustained release injectables of a poorly soluble HIV protease inhibitor (2014)
Journal Article
Wuyts, K., Meeus, J., Muees, J., Scurr, D. J., Amssoms, K., Annaert, P., …Van den Mooter, G. (2015). In vivo evaluation of different formulation strategies for sustained release injectables of a poorly soluble HIV protease inhibitor. Journal of Controlled Release, 199, 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jconrel.2014.11.020

At present no scientific rationale exists for selecting a particular enabling strategy to formulate a poorly water-soluble drug, although this is crucial as it will influence the in vivo performance of the resulting formulation. This study provides a... Read More about In vivo evaluation of different formulation strategies for sustained release injectables of a poorly soluble HIV protease inhibitor.

Biased allosteric modulation at the CaS receptor engendered by structurally diverse calcimimetics (2014)
Journal Article
Cook, A., Mistry, S. N., Gregory, K., Furness, S., Sexton, P. M., Scammells, P. J., …Leach, K. (in press). Biased allosteric modulation at the CaS receptor engendered by structurally diverse calcimimetics. British Journal of Pharmacology, 172(1), https://doi.org/10.1111/bph.12937

Background and Purpose Clinical use of cinacalcet in hyperparathyroidism is complicated by its tendency to induce hypocalcaemia, arising partly from activation of calcium-sensing receptors (CaS receptors) in the thyroid and stimulation of calcitonin...
