The use of decellularised animal tissue to study disseminating cancer cells (2018)
Journal Article
Grey, J. F. E., Campbell-Ritchie, A., Everitt, N. M., Fezovich, A. J., & Wheatley, S. P. (2019). The use of decellularised animal tissue to study disseminating cancer cells. Journal of Cell Science, 132(4), Article jcs219907. https://doi.org/10.1242/jcs.219907

Since the establishment of cell culture, common practice has been to grow adherent cells in 2D monolayers. Although cells behave completely differently when grown under these artificial conditions, the ease of 2D culturing has meant that this practic...

Mechanical behavior optimization of chitosan extracted from shrimp shells as a sustainable material for shopping bags (2018)
Journal Article
D’Angelo, G., Elhussieny, A., Faisal, M., Fahim, I., & Everitt, N. M. (2018). Mechanical behavior optimization of chitosan extracted from shrimp shells as a sustainable material for shopping bags. Journal of Functional Biomaterials, 9(2), Article 37. https://doi.org/10.3390/jfb9020037

The use of biodegradable materials for shopping bag production, and other products made from plastics, has recently been an object of intense research—with the aim of reducing the environmental burdens given by conventional materials. Chitosan is a p... Read More about Mechanical behavior optimization of chitosan extracted from shrimp shells as a sustainable material for shopping bags.

Finite indentation of highly curved elastic shells (2018)
Journal Article
Pearce, S. P., King, J. R., Steinbrecher, T., Leubner-Metzger, G., Everitt, N. M., & Holdsworth, M. J. (2018). Finite indentation of highly curved elastic shells. Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 474(2209), https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2017.0482

Experimentally measuring the elastic properties of thin biological surfaces is non-trivial, particularly when they are curved. One technique that may be used is the indentation of a thin sheet of material by a rigid indenter, whilst measuring the app... Read More about Finite indentation of highly curved elastic shells.
