Journal Article
Wisniewski, K., Pringle, J., Doyle, P., Barton, N., Stimpson, I., & Hobson, L. (in press). Multi-disciplinary site investigations of WW2 allied aerial bombing decoy sites in North Staffordshire, UK. Journal of Conflict Archaeology, 1-24. https://doi.org/10.1080/15740773.2025.2464568

In 1937, the British government implemented a strategy to strengthen UK air defences, constructing a network of decoy sites to mislead enemy aircraft from bombing Allied airfields, industrial centres and major cities. This paper reports on investigat... Read More about Multi-disciplinary site investigations of WW2 allied aerial bombing decoy sites in North Staffordshire, UK.

Bacterial polysaccharide lyase family 33: Specificity from an evolutionarily conserved binding tunnel (2025)
Journal Article
Loiodice, M., Drula, E., McIver, Z., Antonyuk, S., Baslé, A., Lima, M., …Cartmell, A. (2025). Bacterial polysaccharide lyase family 33: Specificity from an evolutionarily conserved binding tunnel. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 122(7), e2421623122. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2421623122

Acidic glycans are essential for the biology of multicellular eukaryotes. To utilize them, microbial life including symbionts and pathogens has evolved polysaccharide lyases (PL) that cleave their 1,4 glycosidic linkages via a β-elimination mechanism...

Proteomic profiling of human plasma and intervertebral disc tissue reveals matrisomal, but not plasma, biomarkers of disc degeneration (2025)
Journal Article
Dube, C. T., Gilbert, H. T. J., Rabbitte, N., Baird, P., Patel, S., Herrera, J. A., …Richardson, S. M. (2025). Proteomic profiling of human plasma and intervertebral disc tissue reveals matrisomal, but not plasma, biomarkers of disc degeneration. Arthritis Research and Therapy, 27(1), Article 28. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13075-025-03489-9

Background: Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a common cause of low back pain, and the most symptomatic patients with neural compression need surgical intervention to relieve symptoms. Current techniques used to diagnose IVD degeneration, suc...

On the origin of metal species in the human brain: a perspective on key physicochemical properties (2025)
Journal Article
Brooks, J., Everett, J., Sadler, P. J., Telling, N., & Collingwood, J. F. (in press). On the origin of metal species in the human brain: a perspective on key physicochemical properties. Metallomics, 1-41. https://doi.org/10.1093/mtomcs/mfaf004

Normal functioning of the human brain is dependent on adequate regulation of essential metal nutrients. However, it is also highly sensitive to metal-mediated toxicity, linked to various neurodegenerative disorders. Exposure to environmental metal so...

Plastic deformation of anterior cruciate ligament: listen to the patient, do not just rely on imaging (2025)
Journal Article
Piedade, S. R., Ferreira, D. M., Górios, C., & Maffulli, N. (in press). Plastic deformation of anterior cruciate ligament: listen to the patient, do not just rely on imaging. Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 20(1), Article 144. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13018-025-05527-3

Purpose: Diagnosing plastic deformation of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is challenging: patients may not report knee instability, and MRI may not confirm the lesion, delaying adequate treatment. This study analyzed clinical findings and compl... Read More about Plastic deformation of anterior cruciate ligament: listen to the patient, do not just rely on imaging.

Autologous Peripheral Blood-Derived Orthobiologics for the Management of Elbow Disorders: A Review of Current Clinical Evidence. (2025)
Journal Article

Elbow ailments are common, but conventional treatment modalities have shortcomings, offering only interim pain relief rather than targeting the underlying pathophysiology. The last two decades have seen a marked increase in the use of autologous peri...
