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.

Stability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG in prebiotic edible films (2014)
Journal Article
Soukoulis, C., Behboudi-Jobbehdar, S., Yonekura, L., Parmenter, C., & Fisk, I. D. (2014). Stability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG in prebiotic edible films. Food Chemistry, 159, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2014.03.008

The concept of prebiotic edible films as effective vehicles for encapsulating probiotic living cells is presented. Four soluble fibres (inulin, polydextrose, glucose-oligosaccharides and wheat dextrin) were selected as prebiotic co-components of gela...

Probiotic edible films as a new strategy for developing functional bakery products: the case of pan bread (2014)
Journal Article
Soukoulis, C., Yonekura, L., Gan, H. H., Behboudi-Jobbehdar, S., Parmenter, C., & Fisk, I. D. (2014). Probiotic edible films as a new strategy for developing functional bakery products: the case of pan bread. Food Hydrocolloids, 39, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodhyd.2014.01.023

In the present paper, a novel approach for the development of probiotic baked cereal products is presented. Probiotic pan bread constructed by the application of film forming solutions based either on individual hydrogels e.g. 1% w/w sodium alginate...
