An injectable elastin-based gene delivery platform for dose-dependent modulation of angiogenesis and inflammation for critical limb ischemia
(Elsevier, 2015-10)
Critical limb ischemia is a major clinical problem. Despite rigorous treatment regimes, there has been only modest success in reducing the rate of amputations in affected patients. Reduced level of blood flow and enhanced ...
Landscape effects in the intertidal around the coastline of Great Britain
(Wiley, 2015-12-21)
Aim We tested whether the size of habitat patches along the coastline of Great Britain influences molluscan species richness.Location Coastline of Great Britain.Methods Intertidal mollusc data were compiled from the National ...
'He told me to calm down and all that': a qualitative study of social support types in a youth mentoring programme
(Wiley, 2015-05-06)
The worldwide growth in formal youth mentoring programmes over the past two decades is partly a response to the perception that young people facing adversity do not have access to supportive relationships with adults and ...
Improved edge detection algorithm for brain tumor segmentation
(Elsevier, 2015-08-21)
Image segmentation is used to separate objects from the background, and thus it has proved to be a powerful tool in bio-medical imaging. In this paper, an Improved Edge Detection algorithm for brain-tumor segmentation is ...
Gene expression profiling identifies interferon signalling molecules and IGFBP3 in human degenerative annulus fibrosus
(Nature Publishing Group:, 2015-10-22)
Low back pain is a major cause of disability especially for people between 20 and 50 years of age. As a costly healthcare problem, it imposes a serious socio-economic burden. Current surgical therapies fail to replace the ...
A case study of collecting dynamic social data: The pro-ana twitter community
(Australian National University, College of Engineering and Computer Science, Department of Computer Science, 2015)
The study of social processes in on-line social media content is a relatively new and rapidly growing endeavour. Many social media platforms provide a public API (Application Programming Interface) which can be used for ...
Endoplasmic reticulum stress induces ligand-independent TNFR1-mediated necroptosis in L929 cells
(2015)
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced cellular dysfunction and death is associated with several human diseases. It has been widely reported that ER stress kills through activation of the intrinsic mitochondrial apoptotic ...
Inefficiency in macromolecular transport of SCS‐based microcapsules affects viability of primary human mesenchymal stem cells but not of immortalized cells
(Wiley, 2015-05-01)
Microcapsules made of sodium cellulose sulphate (SCS) and poly-diallyl-dimethyl-ammonium chloride (pDADMAC) have been employed to encapsulate a wide range of established cell lines for several applications. However, little ...
Macromolecularly crowded in vitro microenvironments accelerate the production of extracellular matrix-rich supramolecular assemblies.
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-03-04)
Therapeutic strategies based on the principles of tissue engineering by self-assembly put forward the notion that functional regeneration can be achieved by utilising the inherent capacity of cells to create highly ...
