Unbiased analysis of the impact of micropatterned biomaterials on macrophage behaviour provides insights beyond pre-defined polarisation states (2017)
Journal Article
Singh, S., Awuah, D., Rostam, H., Emes, R., Kandola, N. K., Onion, D., …Ghaemmaghami, A. M. (in press). Unbiased analysis of the impact of micropatterned biomaterials on macrophage behaviour provides insights beyond pre-defined polarisation states. ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering, https://doi.org/10.1021/acsbiomaterials.7b00104

Macrophages are master regulators of immune responses towards implanted biomaterials. The activation state adopted by macrophages in response to biomaterials determines their own phenotype and function as well as those of other resident and infiltrat...

A paper-based in vitro model for on-chip investigation of the human respiratory system (2016)
Journal Article
Rahimi, R., Htwe, S. S., Ochoa, M., Donaldson, A., Zieger, M., Sood, R., …Ziaie, B. (in press). A paper-based in vitro model for on-chip investigation of the human respiratory system. Lab on a Chip, 16(22), https://doi.org/10.1039/C6LC00866F

Culturing cells at the air–liquid interface (ALI) is essential for creating functional in vitro models of lung tissues. We present the use of direct-patterned laser-treated hydrophobic paper as an effective semi-permeable membrane, ideal for ALI cell...

Synthesis of ?-glucan in mycobacteria involves a hetero-octameric complex of trehalose synthase TreS and Maltokinase Pep2 (2013)
Journal Article
Roy, R., Usha, V., Kermani, A., Scott, D. J., Hyde, E. I., Besra, G. S., …Fütterer, K. (2013). Synthesis of α-glucan in mycobacteria involves a hetero-octameric complex of trehalose synthase TreS and Maltokinase Pep2. ACS Chemical Biology, 8(10), https://doi.org/10.1021/cb400508k

Recent evidence established that the cell envelope of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacillus causing tuberculosis (TB), is coated by an ?-glucan-containing capsule that has been implicated in persistence in a mouse infection model. As one of three... Read More about Synthesis of ?-glucan in mycobacteria involves a hetero-octameric complex of trehalose synthase TreS and Maltokinase Pep2.
