Transferring sick premature infants between hospitals increases the risk of severe brain injury, potentially linked to the excessive exposure to noise, vibration and driving-related accelerations. One method of reducing these levels may be to travel... Read More about Smartphone monitoring of in-ambulance vibration and noise.

Caffeine exposure induces browning features in adipose tissue in vitro and in vivo (2019)
Journal Article
Velickovic, K., Wayne, D., Lugo Leija, H. A., Bloor, I., Morris, D. E., Law, J., …Sottile, V. (2019). Caffeine exposure induces browning features in adipose tissue in vitro and in vivo. Scientific Reports, 9(1), Article 9104. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-45540-1

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is able to rapidly generate heat and metabolise macronutrients, such as glucose and lipids, through activation of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). Diet can modulate UCP1 function but the capacity of individual nut... Read More about Caffeine exposure induces browning features in adipose tissue in vitro and in vivo.

Thermal imaging is a non-invasive alternative to PET-CT for measurement of brown adipose tissue activity in humans (2017)
Journal Article
Law, J., Morris, D. E., Izzi Engbeaya, C., Salem, V., Coello, C., Robinson, L. J., …Symonds, M. E. (2018). Thermal imaging is a non-invasive alternative to PET-CT for measurement of brown adipose tissue activity in humans. Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 59(3), https://doi.org/10.2967/jnumed.117.190546

Background Obesity and its metabolic consequences are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) utilises glucose and free fatty acids to produce heat, thereby increasing energy expenditure. Effective evaluation of human BA...
