Thermoresponsive magnetic colloidal gels via surface-initiated polymerisation from functional microparticles (2015)
Journal Article
Braim, S. A., Shakesheff, K. M., Saunders, B. R., & Alexander, C. (2016). Thermoresponsive magnetic colloidal gels via surface-initiated polymerisation from functional microparticles. Journal of Materials Chemistry B, 4(5), https://doi.org/10.1039/c5tb01739d

Novel magnetothermally responsive core-shell microparticles have been synthesized. The aqueous suspensions of these particles exhibit fast thermoreversible fluid-to-gel transitions and retain good magnetic properties. Rheological measurements demonst...

Cell and protein compatible 3D bioprinting of mechanically strong constructs for bone repair (2015)
Journal Article
Sawkins, M. J., Mistry, P., Brown, B. N., Shakesheff, K. M., Bonassar, L. J., & Yang, J. (2015). Cell and protein compatible 3D bioprinting of mechanically strong constructs for bone repair. Biofabrication, 7(3), Article 035004. https://doi.org/10.1088/1758-5090/7/3/035004

© 2015 IOP Publishing Ltd. Rapid prototyping of bone tissue engineering constructs often utilizes elevated temperatures, organic solvents and/or UV light for materials processing. These harsh conditions may prevent the incorporation of cells and ther... Read More about Cell and protein compatible 3D bioprinting of mechanically strong constructs for bone repair.

Precision assembly of complex cellular microenvironments using holographic optical tweezers (2015)
Journal Article
Kirkham, G. R., Britchford, E., Upton, T., Ware, J., Gibson, G., Devaud, Y., …Shakesheff, K. M. (2015). Precision assembly of complex cellular microenvironments using holographic optical tweezers. Scientific Reports, 5, Article 8577. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep08577

The accurate study of cellular microenvironments is limited by the lack of technologies that can manipulate cells in 3D at a sufficiently small length scale. The ability to build and manipulate multicellular microscopic structures will facilitate a m...
