Human vascularised synovium-on-a-chip: a mechanically stimulated, microfluidic model to investigate synovial inflammation and monocyte recruitment. (2023)
Journal Article
Thompson, C. L., Hopkins, T., Bevan, C., Screen, H. R., Wright, K. T., & Knight, M. M. (in press). Human vascularised synovium-on-a-chip: a mechanically stimulated, microfluidic model to investigate synovial inflammation and monocyte recruitment. Biomedical Materials, 18(6), https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-605X/acf976

Healthy synovium is critical for joint homeostasis. Synovial inflammation (synovitis) is implicated in the onset, progression and symptomatic presentation of arthritic joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). Thus, th... Read More about Human vascularised synovium-on-a-chip: a mechanically stimulated, microfluidic model to investigate synovial inflammation and monocyte recruitment..

Evaluating the use of electromyography in UK and european gait laboratories for the assessment of cerebral palsy and neurological conditions (2023)
Journal Article
Shepherd, H., Reeves, J., & Stewart, C. (in press). Evaluating the use of electromyography in UK and european gait laboratories for the assessment of cerebral palsy and neurological conditions. Gait & Posture, 106(S1), S170. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2023.07.205

Introduction Electromyography (EMG) can estimate the magnitude and timing of muscle activation during walking in those with neurological gait disorders. Despite the potential of EMG use in assessment and clinical...

Percutaneous cruciate repair of ruptured Achilles tendon (2023)
Journal Article
Maffulli, N., Sammaria, G., Ziello, S., Migliorini, F., & Oliva, F. (in press). Percutaneous cruciate repair of ruptured Achilles tendon. Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 18(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13018-023-04167-9

Percutaneous repair is a safe and reliable method to restore continuity after acute Achilles tendon ruptures, with a lower incidence of wound complications compared to open techniques. We describe a novel percutaneous cruciate suture performed throug... Read More about Percutaneous cruciate repair of ruptured Achilles tendon.

Comparison of Knee Articular Cartilage Defect Size Between Measurements Obtained on Preoperative MRI Versus During Arthrotomy (2023)
Journal Article
Perry, J., Kuiper, J. H., McCarthy, H. S., Jermin, P., Gallacher, P. D., Tins, B., & Roberts, S. (2023). Comparison of Knee Articular Cartilage Defect Size Between Measurements Obtained on Preoperative MRI Versus During Arthrotomy. Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 11(9), Article 23259671231193380. https://doi.org/10.1177/23259671231193380

Background: Treatment decisions for cartilage defects are often based on lesion size. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used to diagnose cartilage defects noninvasively; however, their size estimated from MRI may differ from defect sizes me...

Small interfering RNAs in the management of human osteoporosis (2023)
Journal Article
Gargano, G., Asparago, G., Spiezia, F., Oliva, F., & Maffulli, N. (2023). Small interfering RNAs in the management of human osteoporosis. British Medical Bulletin, 148(1), 58-69. https://doi.org/10.1093/bmb/ldad023

Background Osteoporosis results in reduced bone mass and consequent bone fragility. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can be used for therapeutic purposes, as molecular targets or as useful markers to test new therapies. Sources of data A systemat...
