Caspase-3 and caspase-8 expression in breast cancer: caspase-3 is associated with survival (2016)
Journal Article
Xuan, P., Storr, S. J., Zhang, Y., Rakha, E., Green, A. R., Ellis, I. O., & Martin, S. G. (in press). Caspase-3 and caspase-8 expression in breast cancer: caspase-3 is associated with survival. Apoptosis, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10495-016-1323-5

Impaired apoptosis is one of the hallmarks of cancer. Caspase-3 and -8 are key regulators of the apoptotic response and have been shown to interact with the calpain family, a group of cysteine proteases, during tumorigenesis. The current study sought...

Simply-supported multi-layered beams for energy harvesting (2016)
Journal Article
Patel, R., Tanaka, Y., McWilliam, S., Mutsuda, H., & Popov, A. A. (2017). Simply-supported multi-layered beams for energy harvesting. Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures, 28(6), https://doi.org/10.1177/1045389X16657418

This paper develops an analytical model for predicting the performance of simply-supported multi-layered piezoelectric vibrating energy harvesters. The model includes the effects of material and geometric nonlinearities, as well as axial pre-tension/... Read More about Simply-supported multi-layered beams for energy harvesting.

Model refinements and experimental testing of highly flexible piezoelectric energy harvesters (2016)
Journal Article
Patel, R., Tanaka, Y., McWilliam, S., Mutsuda, H., & Popov, A. A. (2016). Model refinements and experimental testing of highly flexible piezoelectric energy harvesters. Journal of Sound and Vibration, 368, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsv.2016.01.005

This paper addresses limitations to existing analytical models for piezoelectric energy harvesters. The presented model is targeted at predicting behaviours of highly flexible piezoelectric devices (FPEDs) and includes high orders of substrate and pi...

A comparative study of adhesion of melanoma and breast cancer cells to blood and lymphatic endothelium (2012)
Journal Article
Safuan, S., Storr, S. J., Patel, P. M., & Martin, S. G. (2012). A comparative study of adhesion of melanoma and breast cancer cells to blood and lymphatic endothelium. Lymphatic Research and Biology, 10(4), https://doi.org/10.1089/lrb.2012.0007

Background: Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is an important step in the metastatic cascade; tumor cell migration
and adhesion to blood and lymphatic vessels is followed by invasion through the vessel wall and subsequent
systemic spread. Although prim... Read More about A comparative study of adhesion of melanoma and breast cancer cells to blood and lymphatic endothelium.
