3D printed scaffolds with controlled micro-/nano- porous surface topography direct chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (2019)
Journal Article
Prasopthum, A., Cooper, M., Shakesheff, K. M., & Yang, J. (2019). 3D printed scaffolds with controlled micro-/nano- porous surface topography direct chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 11(21), 18896-18906. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.9b01472

The effect of topography in 3D printed polymer scaffolds on stem cell differentiation is a significantly under-explored area. Compared to 2D biomaterials on which various well-defined topographies have been incorporated and been shown to direct an ar...

Sulfonylative and azidosulfonylative cyclizations by visible-light-photosensitization of sulfonyl azides in THF (2017)
Journal Article
Zhu, S., Pathigoolla, A., Lowe, G., Walsh, D. A., Cooper, M., Lewis, W., & Lam, H. W. (2017). Sulfonylative and azidosulfonylative cyclizations by visible-light-photosensitization of sulfonyl azides in THF. Chemistry - A European Journal, 23(69), https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.201704380

The generation of sulfonyl radicals from sulfonyl azides using visible light and a photoactive iridium complex in THF is described. This process was used to promote sulfonylative and azidosulfonylative cyclizations of enynes to give several classes o...
