Multivariate analysis of 3D ToF-SIMS images: method validation and application to cultured neuronal networks (2015)
Journal Article
Van Nuffel, S., Parmenter, C. D., Scurr, D. J., Russell, N. A., & Zelzer, M. (in press). Multivariate analysis of 3D ToF-SIMS images: method validation and application to cultured neuronal networks. Analyst, 141(1), https://doi.org/10.1039/c5an01743b

Advanced data analysis tools are crucial for the application of ToF-SIMS analysis to biological samples. Here, we demonstrate that by using a training set approach principal components analysis (PCA) can be performed on large 3D ToF-SIMS images of ne...

© 2015 Published by Elsevier B.V. Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is the commonest hospital-acquired infection, accounting for over 100,000 hospital admissions within the USA annually. Biomaterials and processes intended to reduce... Read More about Biomaterial modification of urinary catheters with antimicrobials to give long-term broadspectrum antibiofilm activity.

Combined hydrogels that switch human pluripotent stem cells from self-renewal to differentiation (2014)
Journal Article
Dixon, J. E., Shah, D. A., Rogers, C., Hall, S., Weston, N., Parmenter, C. D., …Shakesheff, K. M. (2014). Combined hydrogels that switch human pluripotent stem cells from self-renewal to differentiation. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 111(15), 5580-5585. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1319685111

The ability of materials to define the architecture and microenvironment experienced by cells provides new opportunities to direct the fate of human pluripotent stem cells (HPSCs) [Robinton DA, Daley GQ (2012) Nature 481(7381):295-305]. However, the... Read More about Combined hydrogels that switch human pluripotent stem cells from self-renewal to differentiation.

Stability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG in prebiotic edible films (2014)
Journal Article
