Water contact angle is not a good predictor of biological responses to materials (2017)
Journal Article
Alexander, M. R., & Williams, P. (in press). Water contact angle is not a good predictor of biological responses to materials. Biointerphases, 12(2), Article 02C201. https://doi.org/10.1116/1.4989843

Often the view is expressed that water contact angle (WCA) or other wettability/surface energy measurements made on a material surface can be used to predict cellular attachment to materials, e.g., bacteria attach to hydrophobic surfaces. In this art... Read More about Water contact angle is not a good predictor of biological responses to materials.

Image based machine learning for identification of macrophage subsets (2017)
Journal Article
Rostam, H., Reynolds, P. M., Alexander, M. R., Gadegaard, N., & Ghaemmaghami, A. M. (2017). Image based machine learning for identification of macrophage subsets. Scientific Reports, 7(1), Article 3521. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-03780-z

Macrophages play a crucial rule in orchestrating immune responses against pathogens and foreign materials. Macrophages have remarkable plasticity in response to environmental cues and are able to acquire a spectrum of activation status, best exemplif...

Bioprinting Using Mechanically Robust Core–Shell Cell-Laden Hydrogel Strands (2017)
Journal Article
Mistry, P., Aied, A., Alexander, M. R., Shakesheff, K., Bennett, A., & Yang, J. (2017). Bioprinting Using Mechanically Robust Core–Shell Cell-Laden Hydrogel Strands. Macromolecular Bioscience, 17(6), Article 1600472. https://doi.org/10.1002/mabi.201600472

© 2017 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim The strand material in extrusion-based bioprinting determines the microenvironments of the embedded cells and the initial mechanical properties of the constructs. One unmet challenge is the combinat... Read More about Bioprinting Using Mechanically Robust Core–Shell Cell-Laden Hydrogel Strands.
