Cellular and microenvironmental cues that promote macrophage fusion and foreign body response (2024)
Journal Article

During the foreign body response (FBR), macrophages fuse to form foreign body giant cells (FBGCs). Modulation of FBGC formation can prevent biomaterial degradation and loss of therapeutic efficacy. However, the microenvironmental cues that dictate FB... Read More about Cellular and microenvironmental cues that promote macrophage fusion and foreign body response.

Bond behaviour of prestressed basalt textile reinforced concrete (2024)
Journal Article

Innovative Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) composites, although holding a significant potential, usually have poor performance under serviceability conditions. Addressing this limitation requires applying innovative techniques, such as prestressing... Read More about Bond behaviour of prestressed basalt textile reinforced concrete.

How does viewing angle affect the perceived accuracy of Batesian mimicry in hoverflies? (2024)
Journal Article

Despite Batesian mimicry often eliciting predator avoidance, many Batesian mimics, such as some species of hoverfly (Syrphidae), are considered to have an “imperfect” resemblance to their model. One possible explanation for the persistence of apparen... Read More about How does viewing angle affect the perceived accuracy of Batesian mimicry in hoverflies?.

Exposure to blue light reduces antimicrobial resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from dog ear infections (2024)
Journal Article

Introduction: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of canine otitis externa. Enrofloxacin is often applied topically to treat this condition, although recalcitrant and recurring infections are common. There is evidence that exposure to blue ligh...
