Thermoresponsive polymer colloids for drug delivery and cancer therapy (2011)
Journal Article
Abulateefeh, S. R., Spain, S. G., Aylott, J. W., Chan, W. C., Garnett, M. C., & Alexander, C. (2011). Thermoresponsive polymer colloids for drug delivery and cancer therapy. Macromolecular Bioscience, 11(12), 1722-1734. https://doi.org/10.1002/mabi.201100252

Many difficulties in treating cancer arise from the problems in directing highly cytotoxic agents to the deseased tissues, cells and intracellular compartments. Many drug delivery systems have been devised to address this problem, including those tha... Read More about Thermoresponsive polymer colloids for drug delivery and cancer therapy.

CHOTs optical transducers (2011)
Journal Article
Arca, A., Aylott, J., Marques, L., Clark, M., Somekh, M., Smith, R., …Chen, X. (2011). CHOTs optical transducers. Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation, 26(3-4), 353-366. https://doi.org/10.1080/10589759.2011.573555

Laser ultrasonics conventionally use direct absorption in the sample to generate ultrasound and monitor the sample to detect the ultrasound. However, in some circumstances there are significant advantages to using an optical transducer - a device to... Read More about CHOTs optical transducers.

Polymers with hydro-responsive topography identi?ed using high throughput AFM of an acrylate microarray (2011)
Journal Article
Hook, A. L., Yang, J., Chen, X., Roberts, C. J., Mei, Y., Anderson, D. G., …Davies, M. C. (2011). Polymers with hydro-responsive topography identified using high throughput AFM of an acrylate microarray. Soft Matter, 7, https://doi.org/10.1039/c1sm06063e

Atomic force microscopy has been applied to an acrylate polymer microarray to achieve a full topographic characterisation. This process discovered a small number of hydro-responsive materials created from monomers with disparate hydrophilicities that...

Uniform cell colonization of porous 3-D scaffolds achieved using radial control of surface chemistry (2011)
Journal Article
Intranuovo, F., Howard, D., White, L. J., Johal, R. K., Ghaemmaghami, A. M., Favia, P., …Alexander, M. R. (2011). Uniform cell colonization of porous 3-D scaffolds achieved using radial control of surface chemistry. Acta Biomaterialia, 7(9), 3336-3344. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actbio.2011.05.020

Uniform cellular distribution is a prerequisite to forming tissue within porous scaffolds, but the seeding process often results in preferential adhesion of cells at the periphery. We develop a vapour phase coating strategy which is readily applicabl... Read More about Uniform cell colonization of porous 3-D scaffolds achieved using radial control of surface chemistry.

Evaluation of patient reporting of adverse drug reactions to the UK ‘Yellow Card Scheme’: literature review, descriptive and qualitative analyses, and questionnaire surveys (2011)
Book
Avery, A., Anderson, C., Bond, C., Fortnum, H., Gifford, A., Hannaford, P., …Watson, M. (2011). Evaluation of patient reporting of adverse drug reactions to the UK ‘Yellow Card Scheme’: literature review, descriptive and qualitative analyses, and questionnaire surveys. NIHR HTA. https://doi.org/10.3310/hta15200

Background: The monitoring of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) through pharmacovigilance is vital to patient safety. Spontaneous reporting of ADRs is one method of pharmacovigilance, and in the UK this is undertaken through the Yellow Card Scheme (YC...

A pharmacy-based private chlamydia screening programme: Results from the first 2 years of screening and treatment (2011)
Journal Article
Anderson, C., & Thornley, T. (2011). A pharmacy-based private chlamydia screening programme: Results from the first 2 years of screening and treatment. International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy, 33(1), 88-91. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11096-010-9460-3

Objective A major UK Pharmacy chain private Chlamydia screening and treatment service began in October 2006. People pay for a screening kit, send off a urine sample, and are informed of their result directly. Treatment is accessed via the pharmacy ch...
