Journal Article
Salmon, A. H. J., Lobo, D. P., Wemyss, A. M., Smith, D. J., Straube, A., Betteridge, K. B., …Arkill, K. P. (2015). Direct detection and measurement of wall shear stress using a filamentous bio-nanoparticle. Nano Research, 8(10), 3307-3315. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12274-015-0831-x

The wall shear stress (WSS) that a moving fluid exerts on a surface affects many processes including those relating to vascular function. WSS plays an important role in normal physiology (e.g. angiogenesis) and affects the microvasculature's primary...

Vascular endothelial growth factor-A165b is protective and restores endothelial glycocalyx in diabetic nephropathy (2015)
Journal Article
Oltean, S., Qiu, Y., Ferguson, J. K., Stevens, M., Neal, C., Russell, A., …Salmon, A. H. (2015). Vascular endothelial growth factor-A165b is protective and restores endothelial glycocalyx in diabetic nephropathy.

Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of ESRD in high-income countries and a growing problem across the world. Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) is thought to be a critical mediator of vascular dysfunction in diabetic nephropathy, yet...

IL-4 Regulates Specific Arg-1+ Macrophage sFlt-1–Mediated Inhibition of Angiogenesis (2015)
Journal Article
Wu, W., Georgiadis, A., Copland, D. A., Liyanage, S., Luhmann, U. F., Robbie, S. J., …Dick, A. D. (2015). IL-4 Regulates Specific Arg-1+ Macrophage sFlt-1–Mediated Inhibition of Angiogenesis. American Journal of Pathology, 185(8), 2324-2335. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ajpath.2015.04.013

One of the main drivers for neovascularization in age-related macular degeneration is activation of innate immunity in the presence of macrophages. Here, we demonstrate that T helper cell type 2 cytokines and, in particular, IL-4 condition human and...
