Parent misperception of control in childhood/adolescent asthma: the Room to Breathe survey (2012)
Journal Article
(2012). Parent misperception of control in childhood/adolescent asthma: the Room to Breathe survey. European Respiratory Journal, 90-96. https://doi.org/10.1183/09031936.00048911

The aim of our study was to determine how often asthma control is achieved in children and adolescents, and how asthma affects parents' and children's daily lives.

Interviews, including the childhood asthma control test (C-ACT), were conducted wit... Read More about Parent misperception of control in childhood/adolescent asthma: the Room to Breathe survey.

An improved single-step lysis protocol to measure luciferase bioluminescence in Plasmodium falciparum (2012)
Journal Article
Horrocks. (2012). An improved single-step lysis protocol to measure luciferase bioluminescence in Plasmodium falciparum. Malaria Journal, 42 -?. https://doi.org/10.1186/1475-2875-11-42

This report describes the optimization and evaluation of a simple single-step lysis protocol to measure luciferase bioluminescence from genetically modified Plasmodium falciparum. This protocol utilizes a modified commercial buffer to improve speed o... Read More about An improved single-step lysis protocol to measure luciferase bioluminescence in Plasmodium falciparum.

Association of cytokine and matrix metalloproteinase profiles with disease activity and function in ankylosing spondylitis (2012)
Journal Article
(2012). Association of cytokine and matrix metalloproteinase profiles with disease activity and function in ankylosing spondylitis. Arthritis Research and Therapy, R127 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1186/ar3857

The pathology of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) suggests that certain cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) might provide useful markers of disease activity. Serum levels of some cytokines and MMPs have been found to be elevated in active disea...

Development of a comprehensive musculoskeletal model of the shoulder and elbow (2011)
Journal Article
(2011). Development of a comprehensive musculoskeletal model of the shoulder and elbow. Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing, 1425 -1435. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11517-011-0839-7

The Delft Shoulder and Elbow Model (DSEM), a musculoskeletal model of the shoulder and elbow has been extensively developed since its introduction in 1994. Extensions cover both model structures and anatomical data focusing on the addition of an elbo... Read More about Development of a comprehensive musculoskeletal model of the shoulder and elbow.

X-ray magnetic circular dichroism study of the blocking process in nanostructured iron-iron oxide core-shell systems (2011)
Journal Article
Jiménez-Villacorta, F., Prieto, C., Huttel, Y., Telling, N. D., & van der Laan, G. (2011). X-ray magnetic circular dichroism study of the blocking process in nanostructured iron-iron oxide core-shell systems. Physical review B: Condensed matter and materials physics, 84(17), https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.84.172404

Experimental evidence for magnetothermal behavior in iron-iron oxide nanostructured systems has been obtained using x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the Fe 𝐿2,3 edges. The purpose of this study is th... Read More about X-ray magnetic circular dichroism study of the blocking process in nanostructured iron-iron oxide core-shell systems.

Journal Article
Byrne, J. M., Telling, N. D., Coker, V. S., Pattrick, R. A. D., van der Laan, G., Arenholz, E., Tuna, F., & Lloyd, J. R. (2011). Control of nanoparticle size, reactivity and magnetic properties during the bioproduction of magnetite byGeobacter sulfurreducens. Nanotechnology, 22(45), Article 455709. https://doi.org/10.1088/0957-4484/22/45/455709

The bioproduction of nanoscale magnetite by Fe(III)-reducing bacteria offers a potentially tunable, environmentally benign route to magnetic nanoparticle synthesis. Here, we demonstrate that it is possible to control the size of magnetite nanoparticl...
