Background
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive cancer with poor prognosis, partly due to resistance to the standard chemotherapy treatment, temozolomide (TMZ). Phytocannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) has exhibited anti-cancer effects against G...

Journal Article
Owen, R., Nasir, A., H. Amer, M., Nie, C., Xue, X., Burroughs, L., Denning, C., D. Wildman, R., A. Khan, F., R. Alexander, M., & R. A. J. Rose, F. (2024). Computer Vision for Substrate Detection in High‐Throughput Biomaterial Screens Using Bright‐Field Microscopy. Advanced Intelligent Systems, Article 2400573. https://doi.org/10.1002/aisy.202400573

High-throughput screening (HTS) can be used when ab initio information is unavailable for rational design of new materials, generating data on properties such as chemistry and topography that control cell behavior. Biomaterial screens are typically f... Read More about Computer Vision for Substrate Detection in High‐Throughput Biomaterial Screens Using Bright‐Field Microscopy.

Metabolomic and Proteomic Analysis of ApoE4-Carrying H4 Neuroglioma Cells in Alzheimer’s Disease Using OrbiSIMS and LC-MS/MS (2024)
Journal Article
Lu, L., Kotowska, A. M., Kern, S., Fang, M., Rudd, T. R., Alexander, M. R., Scurr, D. J., & Zhu, Z. (2024). Metabolomic and Proteomic Analysis of ApoE4-Carrying H4 Neuroglioma Cells in Alzheimer’s Disease Using OrbiSIMS and LC-MS/MS. Analytical Chemistry, https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.analchem.4c01201

Growing clinical evidence reveals that systematic molecular alterations in the brain occur 20 years before the onset of AD pathological features. Apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) is one of the most significant genetic risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (A...

Spatially resolved molecular analysis of host response to medical device implantation using the 3D OrbiSIMS highlights a critical role for lipids (2024)
Journal Article
Suvannapruk, W., Fisher, L. E., Luckett, J. C., Edney, M. K., Kotowska, A. M., Kim, D. H., …Alexander, M. R. (2024). Spatially resolved molecular analysis of host response to medical device implantation using the 3D OrbiSIMS highlights a critical role for lipids. Advanced Science, 11(15), Article 2306000. https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.202306000

A key goal for implanted medical devices is that they do not elicit a detrimental immune response. Macrophages play critical roles in the modulation of the host immune response and are the cells responsible for persistent inflammatory reactions to im...
