X-ray computed tomography and additive manufacturing in medicine: a review (2017)
Journal Article
Thompson, A., McNally, D., Maskery, I., & Leach, R. K. (in press). X-ray computed tomography and additive manufacturing in medicine: a review. International Journal of Metrology and Quality Engineering, 8, Article 17. https://doi.org/10.1051/ijmqe/2017015

The use of X-ray computed tomography (XCT) with additive manufacture (AM) within a medical context is examined in this review. The seven AM process families and various XCT scanning techniques are explained in brief, and the use of these technologies...

Investigation of changes in the electrical properties of novel knitted conductive textiles during cyclic loading (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Isaia, C., McNally, D., McMaster, S. A., & Branson, D. T. (2016). Investigation of changes in the electrical properties of novel knitted conductive textiles during cyclic loading. In 2016 38th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC): 16-20 Aug. 2016 (6058-6061). https://doi.org/10.1109/EMBC.2016.7592110

© 2016 IEEE. Combining stainless steel with polyester fibres adds an attractive conductive behaviour to the yarn. Once knitted in such a manner, fabrics develop sensing properties that make the textiles, also known as e-textiles, suitable for smart/w...

Combined hydrogels that switch human pluripotent stem cells from self-renewal to differentiation (2014)
Journal Article
Dixon, J. E., Shah, D. A., Rogers, C., Hall, S., Weston, N., Parmenter, C. D., …Shakesheff, K. M. (2014). Combined hydrogels that switch human pluripotent stem cells from self-renewal to differentiation. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 111(15), 5580-5585. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1319685111

The ability of materials to define the architecture and microenvironment experienced by cells provides new opportunities to direct the fate of human pluripotent stem cells (HPSCs) [Robinton DA, Daley GQ (2012) Nature 481(7381):295-305]. However, the... Read More about Combined hydrogels that switch human pluripotent stem cells from self-renewal to differentiation.

Finite element investigation of the effect of spina bifida on loading of the vertebral isthmus (2013)
Journal Article
Quah, C., Yeoman, M. S., Cizinauskas, A., Cooper, K., McNally, D., & Boszczyk, B. (2014). Finite element investigation of the effect of spina bifida on loading of the vertebral isthmus. Spine Journal, 14(4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.spinee.2013.08.040

Background: Spondylolysis (SL) of the lower lumbar spine is frequently associated with spina bifida occulta (SBO). There has not been any study that has demonstrated biomechanical or genetic predispositions to explain the coexistence of these two pat...
