Coronary perforation complicating percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with a history of coronary artery bypass surgery: an analysis of 309 perforation cases from the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society database (2015)
Journal Article
Mamas. (2015). Coronary perforation complicating percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with a history of coronary artery bypass surgery: an analysis of 309 perforation cases from the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society database. Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, https://doi.org/10.1161/CIRCINTERVENTIONS.117.005581

Background: The evidence base for coronary perforation (CP) occurring during percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with a history of bypass surgery (PCI-CABG) is limited and the long-term effects unclear. Using a national PCI database, the i...

Multi-functional PLGA Scaffolds For Vascularization In Bone Tissue Constructs (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Yang, Y., & Lyu, L. (2015, September). Multi-functional PLGA Scaffolds For Vascularization In Bone Tissue Constructs

In our previous work, a new technique in which electrospun nanofibers were rolled into multilayered-rod-like 3D scaffolds has been used in rabbit radius regeneration in vivo. This has been highly successful in bone formation. However these scaffolds... Read More about Multi-functional PLGA Scaffolds For Vascularization In Bone Tissue Constructs.

Fluorescent Monitoring of Poly(lactic-co-glycolic Acid) Degradation and Extracellular Matrix Turnover of Engineered Tissue Constructs (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Bardsley, K., El Haj, A., & Yang, Y. (2015, September). Fluorescent Monitoring of Poly(lactic-co-glycolic Acid) Degradation and Extracellular Matrix Turnover of Engineered Tissue Constructs. Paper presented at 2015 4th TERMIS World Congress, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Development of fluorescent tagging techniques for inert polymers is an advantageous tool for monitoring biomaterial degradation online. Here we present a protocol for the fluorescent tagging of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) which allows for ac...

Skeletal muscle cells possess a 'memory' of acute early life TNF-alpha exposure: role of epigenetic adaptation (2015)
Journal Article
(2015). Skeletal muscle cells possess a 'memory' of acute early life TNF-alpha exposure: role of epigenetic adaptation. Biogerontology, 603 - 617. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10522-015-9604-x

Sufficient quantity and quality of skeletal muscle is required to maintain lifespan and healthspan into older age. The concept of skeletal muscle programming/memory has been suggested to contribute to accelerated muscle decline in the elderly in asso...

Preparation and analysis of a new bioorganic metallic material (2015)
Journal Article
Yang. (2015). Preparation and analysis of a new bioorganic metallic material. RSC advances, 78030 -78037. https://doi.org/10.1039/c5ra16340d

Biofouling on metal surfaces is one of the main reasons for increased ship drag. Many methods have already been used to reduce or remove it with moderate success. In this study, a synthetic peptide has been utilized to react with 304 stainless steel... Read More about Preparation and analysis of a new bioorganic metallic material.

Electron transfer dissociation of native peptides facilitates enhanced identification of urinary peptides (2015)
Journal Article
Hart, S. R., Kenny, L. C., Myers, J. E., & Baker, P. N. (2015). Electron transfer dissociation of native peptides facilitates enhanced identification of urinary peptides. International Journal of Mass Spectrometry, 391, 41-46. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijms.2015.08.025

Urine as a biofluid is commonly used in clinical diagnostics, including those performed during pregnancy. Urine is a rich source of polypeptides and polypeptidic protein degradation products, which have been filtered from blood plasma, thus urine has...

Methylation of HOXA9 and ISL1 Predicts Patient Outcome in High-Grade Non-Invasive Bladder Cancer. (2015)
Journal Article
Kitchen, M. O., Bryan, R. T., Haworth, K. E., Emes, R. D., Luscombe, C., Gommersall, L., …Farrell, W. E. (2015). Methylation of HOXA9 and ISL1 Predicts Patient Outcome in High-Grade Non-Invasive Bladder Cancer. PloS one, e0137003 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0137003

INTRODUCTION: Inappropriate DNA methylation is frequently associated with human tumour development, and in specific cases, is associated with clinical outcomes. Previous reports of DNA methylation in low/intermediate grade non-muscle invasive bladder...
