Journal Article
Milborne, B., Murrell, L., Cardillo-Zallo, I., Titman, J., Briggs, L., Scotchford, C., …Ahmed, I. (2022). Developing Porous Ortho- and Pyrophosphate-Containing Glass Microspheres; Structural and Cytocompatibility Characterisation. Bioengineering, 9(11), Article 611. https://doi.org/10.3390/bioengineering9110611

Phosphate-based glasses (PBGs) are promising materials for bone repair and regeneration as they can be formulated to be compositionally similar to the inorganic components of bone. Alterations to the PBG formulation can be used to tailor their degrad...

The Use of Biomaterials in Internal Radiation Therapy (2020)
Journal Article
Milborne, B., Arafat, A., Layfield, R., Thompson, A., & Ahmed, I. (2020). The Use of Biomaterials in Internal Radiation Therapy. Recent Progress in Materials, 2(2), https://doi.org/10.21926/rpm.2002012

Radiotherapy has become one of the most prominent and effective modalities for cancer treatment and care. Ionising radiation, delivered either from external or internal sources, can be targeted to cancerous cells causing damage to DNA that can induce...

Live Simultaneous Monitoring of Mineral Deposition and Lipid Accumulation in Differentiating Stem Cells (2019)
Journal Article
De Melo, N., McGinlay, S., Markus, R., Macri-Pellizzeri, L., Symonds, M. E., Ahmed, I., & Sottile, V. (2019). Live Simultaneous Monitoring of Mineral Deposition and Lipid Accumulation in Differentiating Stem Cells. Biomimetics, 4(3), 1-10. https://doi.org/10.3390/biomimetics4030048

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are progenitors for bone-forming osteoblasts and lipid-storing adipocytes, two major lineages co-existing in bone marrow. When isolated in vitro, these stem cells recapitulate osteoblast or adipocyte formation if treated...
