Study protocol: a mixed methods feasibility study for a loaded self-managed exercise programme for patellofemoral pain. Pilot and Feasibility Studies, 4(24), https://doi.org/10.1186/s40814-017-0167-2

Background: Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is one of the most common forms of knee pain in adults under the age of 40, with a prevalence of 23% in the general population. The long-term prognosis is poor, with only one third of people pain-free 1 year afte...

Should exercises be painful in the management of chronic musculoskeletal pain?: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2017)
Journal Article
Smith, B. E., Hendrick, P., Smith, T. O., Bateman, M., Moffatt, F., Rathleff, M. S., …Logan, P. (2017). Should exercises be painful in the management of chronic musculoskeletal pain?: a systematic review and meta-analysis. British Journal of Sports Medicine, 51(23), https://doi.org/10.1136/bjsports-2016-097383

Background: Chronic musculoskeletal disorders are a prevalent and costly global health issue. A new form of exercise therapy focused on loading and resistance programmes that temporarily aggravates a patient’s pain has been proposed. The object of th...

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 18, Article 181. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-017-1539-8

Background: Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is considered one of the commonest forms of knee pain. This study aimed to identify how physiotherapists in the United Kingdom (UK) currently manage patellofemoral pain (PFP), particularly in relation to exercise...

Constraining symmetron fields with atom interferometry (2016)
Journal Article
Burrage, C., Kuribayashi-Coleman, A., Stevenson, J., & Thrussell, B. (2016). Constraining symmetron fields with atom interferometry. Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2016, Article 041. https://doi.org/10.1088/1475-7516/2016/12/041

We apply the new constraints from atom-interferometry searches for screening mechanisms to the symmetron model, finding that these experiments exclude a previously unexplored region of the parameter space. We discuss the possibility of networks of do... Read More about Constraining symmetron fields with atom interferometry.

A proposed experimental search for chameleons using asymmetric parallel plates (2016)
Journal Article
Burrage, C., Copeland, E. J., & Stevenson, J. A. (2016). A proposed experimental search for chameleons using asymmetric parallel plates. Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2016(8), https://doi.org/10.1088/1475-7516/2016/08/070

Light scalar fields coupled to matter are a common consequence of theories of dark energy and attempts to solve the cosmological constant problem. The chameleon screening mechanism is commonly invoked in order to suppress the fifth forces mediated by...

Ellipticity weakens chameleon screening (2015)
Journal Article
Burrage, C., Copeland, E. J., & Stevenson, J. (2015). Ellipticity weakens chameleon screening. Physical Review D, D91(6), Article 065030. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.91.065030

The chameleon mechanism enables a long-range fifth force to be screened in dense environments when nontrivial self-interactions of the field cause its mass to increase with the local density. To date, chameleon fifth forces have mainly been studied f... Read More about Ellipticity weakens chameleon screening.

Activation of store-operated calcium entry in airway smooth muscle cells: insight from a mathematical model (2013)
Journal Article
Croisier, H., Tan, X., Perez-Zoghbi, J. F., Sanderson, M. J., Sneyd, J., & Brook, B. S. (2013). Activation of store-operated calcium entry in airway smooth muscle cells: insight from a mathematical model. PLoS ONE, 8(7), Article e69598. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0069598

Intracellular dynamics of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMC) mediate ASMC contraction and proliferation, and thus play a key role in airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) and remodelling in asthma. We evaluate the importance of store-operated entry (SOC... Read More about Activation of store-operated calcium entry in airway smooth muscle cells: insight from a mathematical model.
