Ciprofloxacin poly(β-amino ester) conjugates enhance antibiofilm activity and slow the development of resistance (2024)
Journal Article
Kasza, K., Richards, B., Jones, S., Romero, M., Robertson, S. N., Hardie, K. R., …Alexander, C. (2024). Ciprofloxacin poly(β-amino ester) conjugates enhance antibiofilm activity and slow the development of resistance. ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 16(5), 5412-5425. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.3c14357

To tackle the emerging antibiotic resistance crisis, novel antimicrobial approaches are urgently needed. Bacterial biofilms are a particular concern in this context as they are responsible for over 80% of bacterial infections and are inherently more...

Application of a 3D hydrogel-based model to replace use of animals for passaging patient-derived xenografts (2023)
Journal Article
Jones, S., Ashworth, J. C., Meakin, M., Collier, P., Probert, C., Ritchie, A. A., Merry, C. L. R., & Grabowska, A. M. (2023). Application of a 3D hydrogel-based model to replace use of animals for passaging patient-derived xenografts. In Vitro Models, 2(3-4), 99-111. https://doi.org/10.1007/s44164-023-00048-x

Purpose
This 3D in vitro cancer model for propagation of patient-derived cells, using a synthetic self-assembling peptide gel, allows the formation of a fully characterised, tailorable tumour microenvironment. Unlike many existing 3D cancer models,... Read More about Application of a 3D hydrogel-based model to replace use of animals for passaging patient-derived xenografts.
