Mammalian cell-driven polymerisation of pyrrole (2018)
Journal Article
Sherman, H. G., Jain, A., Stolnik, S., Alexander, C., Rawson, F. J., & Hicks, J. (2018). Mammalian cell-driven polymerisation of pyrrole. ChemBioChem, 20(8), 1008-1013. https://doi.org/10.1002/cbic.201800630

A model cancer cell line was used to initiate polymerisation of pyrrole to form the conducting material polypyrrole. The polymerisation was shown to occur via cytosolic exudates rather than via membrane redox sites which normally control the oxidatio...

New perspectives on iron uptake in eukaryotes (2018)
Journal Article
Sherman, H. G., Jovanovic, C., Stolnik, S., Baronian, K., Downard, A. J., & Rawson, F. J. (2018). New perspectives on iron uptake in eukaryotes. Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 5(NOV), Article 97. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmolb.2018.00097

All eukaryotic organisms require iron to function. Malfunctions within iron homeostasis have a range of physiological consequences, and can lead to the development of pathological conditions that can result in an excess of non-transferrin bound iron...

Sanjuán-Alberte, P., Abayzeed, S. A., Fuentes-Domínguez, R., Alea-Reyesd, M. E., Clark, M., Hague, R., …Rawson, F. (2018). Wireless bioelectronic nanosystems for intracellular communication

In order for the field of bioelectronics to make an impact on healthcare, there is an urgent requirement for the development of “wireless” electronic systems to both sense and actuate cell behaviour. Herein we report the first example of an innovativ... Read More about Wireless bioelectronic nanosystems for intracellular communication.

Electrochemically stimulating developments in bioelectronic medicine (2018)
Journal Article
Sanjuan-Alberte, P., Alexander, M. R., Hague, R. J., & Rawson, F. J. (2018). Electrochemically stimulating developments in bioelectronic medicine. Bioelectronic Medicine, 4(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s42234-018-0001-z

Cellular homeostasis is in part controlled by biological generated electrical activity. By interfacing biology with electronic devices this electrical activity can be modulated to actuate cellular behaviour. There are current limitations in merging e...

An electrochemical system for the study of trans-plasma membrane electron transport in whole eukaryotic cells (2018)
Journal Article
Sherman, H. G., Jovanovic, C., Stolnik, S., & Rawson, F. J. (in press). An electrochemical system for the study of trans-plasma membrane electron transport in whole eukaryotic cells. Analytical Chemistry, 90(4), https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.analchem.7b04853

The development of new assays to study trans-plasma membrane electron transport (tPMET) in eukaryotic systems is paramount for a number reasons, which include the further understanding of the underlying biology which can then potentially be applied t...
