Surface plasmon resonance imaging of excitable cells (2019)
Journal Article
Howe, C. L., Webb, K. F., Abayzeed, S. A., Anderson, D. J., Denning, C., & Russell, N. A. (2019). Surface plasmon resonance imaging of excitable cells. Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 52(10), Article 104001. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6463/aaf849

Surface plasmons (SPs) are surface charge density oscillations occuring at a metal/dieletric interface and are highly sensitive to refractive index variations adjacent to the surface. This sensitivity has been exploited successfully for chemical and... Read More about Surface plasmon resonance imaging of excitable cells.

One-pot RAFT and fast polymersomes assembly: a ‘beeline’ from monomers to drug-loaded nanovectors (2016)
Journal Article
Mastrotto, F., Breen, A. F., Sicilia, G., Murdan, S., Johnstone, A. D., Marsh, G. E., …Mantovani, G. (2016). One-pot RAFT and fast polymersomes assembly: a ‘beeline’ from monomers to drug-loaded nanovectors. Polymer Chemistry, 7(44), 6714-6724. https://doi.org/10.1039/C6PY01292B

Rapid and simple routes to functional polymersomes are increasingly needed to expand their clinical or industrial applications. Here we describe a novel strategy where polymersomes are prepared through an in-line process in just a few hours, starting...

Responsive cell–material interfaces (2015)
Journal Article
Dhowre, H. S., Rajput, S., Russell, N. A., & Zelzer, M. (2015). Responsive cell–material interfaces. Nanomedicine, 10(5), https://doi.org/10.2217/nnm.14.225

Major design aspects for novel biomaterials are driven by the desire to mimic more varied and complex properties of a natural cellular environment with man-made materials. The development of stimulus responsive materials makes considerable contributi... Read More about Responsive cell–material interfaces.

Stimulus Discrimination in Cerebellar Purkinje Neurons (2014)
Journal Article
Reusch, K., Russell, N. A., & Bellamy, T. C. (2014). Stimulus Discrimination in Cerebellar Purkinje Neurons. PLoS ONE, 9(2), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0087828

Cerebellar Purkinje neurons fire spontaneously in the absence of synaptic input. Overlaid on this intrinsic activity, excitatory input from parallel fibres can add simple spikes to the output train, whereas inhibitory input from interneurons can intr...
