Journal Article
He, Y., Luckett, J., Begines, B., Dubern, J. F., Hook, A. L., Prina, E., Rose, F. R., Tuck, C. J., Hague, R. J., Irvine, D. J., Williams, P., Alexander, M. R., & Wildman, R. D. (2022). Ink-jet 3D printing as a strategy for developing bespoke non-eluting biofilm resistant medical devices. Biomaterials, 281, Article 121350. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biomaterials.2021.121350

Chronic infection as a result of bacterial biofilm formation on implanted medical devices is a major global healthcare problem requiring new biocompatible, biofilm-resistant materials. Here we demonstrate how bespoke devices can be manufactured throu... Read More about Ink-jet 3D printing as a strategy for developing bespoke non-eluting biofilm resistant medical devices.

High sensitivity analysis of nanogram quantities of glycosaminoglycans using ToF-SIMS (2021)
Journal Article
Hook, A. L., Hogwood, J., Gray, E., Mulloy, B., & Merry, C. L. (2021). High sensitivity analysis of nanogram quantities of glycosaminoglycans using ToF-SIMS. Communications Chemistry, 4, Article 67. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42004-021-00506-1

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are important biopolymers that differ in the sequence of saccharide units and in post polymerization alterations at various positions, making these complex molecules challenging to analyse. Here we describe an approach that... Read More about High sensitivity analysis of nanogram quantities of glycosaminoglycans using ToF-SIMS.
