Recapitulation of tumor heterogeneity and molecular signatures in a 3D brain cancer model with decreased sensitivity to histone deacetylase inhibition (2012)
Journal Article

INTRODUCTION Physiologically relevant pre-clinical ex vivo models recapitulating CNS tumor micro-environmental complexity will aid development of biologically-targeted agents. We present comprehensive characterization of tumor aggregates generated...

Potential Facilitators to the Implementation of the New Medicine Service in England (2012)
Journal Article

Modelling human embryoid body cell adhesion to a combinatorial library of polymer surfaces (2012)
Journal Article

Designing materials to control biology is an intense focus of biomaterials and regenerative medicine research. Discovering and designing materials with appropriate biological compatibility or active control of cells and tissues is being increasingly...

Combinatorial discovery of polymers resistant to bacterial attachment (2012)
Journal Article

Bacterial attachment and subsequent biofilm formation pose key challenges to the optimal performance of medical devices. In this study, we determined the attachment of selected bacterial species to hundreds of polymeric materials in a high-throughput...

Tissue transglutaminase (TG-2) modified amniotic membrane: A novel scaffold for biomedical applications (2012)
Journal Article

The amniotic membrane (AM) is considered as a natural cell culture substrate and has occasionally been exploited in regenerative medicine especially for ocular surface reconstruction and dermal wound healing applications. However, its use is limited... Read More about Tissue transglutaminase (TG-2) modified amniotic membrane: A novel scaffold for biomedical applications.

Three-dimensional pharmacophore design and biochemical screening identifies substituted 1,2,4-triazoles as inhibitors of the annexin A2-S100A10 protein interaction (2012)
Journal Article

Protein interactions are increasingly appreciated as targets in small-molecule drug discovery. The interaction between the adapter protein S100A10 and its binding partner annexin A2 is a potentially important drug target. To obtain small-molecule sta...

Strategies for MCR image analysis of large hyperspectral data-sets (2012)
Journal Article

Polymer microarrays are a key enabling technology for high throughput materials discovery. In this study, multivariate image analysis, specifically multivariate curve resolution (MCR), is applied to the hyperspectral time of flight secondary ion mass... Read More about Strategies for MCR image analysis of large hyperspectral data-sets.

Sustained translational repression by eIF2?-P mediates prion neurodegeneration (2012)
Journal Article

The mechanisms leading to neuronal death in neurodegenerative disease are poorly understood. Many of these disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and prion diseases, are associated with the accumulation of misfolded disease-specific proteins.... Read More about Sustained translational repression by eIF2?-P mediates prion neurodegeneration.

Professional skills development in a resource-poor setting: the case of pharmacy in Malawi (2012)
Journal Article

The dominance of the human capital approach in vocational skills development has been increasingly questioned for being de-humanised and de-contextualised. Contrary to this trend, the discourse in health professional skills development has shown incr...
