PBMC-derived extracellular vesicles in a smoking-related inflammatory disease model (2023)
Journal Article
Gomez, N. E., James, V., Arkill, K. P., Nizamudeen, Z. A., Onion, D., & Fairclough, L. C. (2023). PBMC-derived extracellular vesicles in a smoking-related inflammatory disease model. European Journal of Immunology, 53(6), Article 2250143. https://doi.org/10.1002/eji.202250143

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) function as mediators of intercellular communication and as such influence the recipient cell function. EVs derived from immune cells can carry out many of the same functions as their parental cells, as they carry costimu...

Extracellular vesicles and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): a systematic review (2022)
Journal Article
Gomez, N., James, V., Onion, D., & Fairclough, L. C. (2022). Extracellular vesicles and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): a systematic review. Respiratory Research, 23, Article 82. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12931-022-01984-0

Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by irreversible airflow limitation, ranking the third highest cause of death worldwide. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important... Read More about Extracellular vesicles and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): a systematic review.

Unbiased analysis of the impact of micropatterned biomaterials on macrophage behaviour provides insights beyond pre-defined polarisation states (2017)
Journal Article
Singh, S., Awuah, D., Rostam, H., Emes, R., Kandola, N. K., Onion, D., …Ghaemmaghami, A. M. (in press). Unbiased analysis of the impact of micropatterned biomaterials on macrophage behaviour provides insights beyond pre-defined polarisation states. ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering, https://doi.org/10.1021/acsbiomaterials.7b00104

Macrophages are master regulators of immune responses towards implanted biomaterials. The activation state adopted by macrophages in response to biomaterials determines their own phenotype and function as well as those of other resident and infiltrat...
