Journal Article
Yang, Y., Musa, F., & Harper, A. (2016). A Real-Time Monitoring System to Assess the Platelet Aggregatory Capacity of Components of a Tissue-Engineered Blood Vessel Wall. Tissue Engineering Part C: Methods, 691 - 699. https://doi.org/10.1089/ten.tec.2015.0582

Native blood vessels contain both an antiaggregatory intimal layer, which prevents platelet activation in the intact vessel, and a proaggregatory medial layer, which stimulates platelet aggregation upon vascular damage. Yet, current techniques for as... Read More about A Real-Time Monitoring System to Assess the Platelet Aggregatory Capacity of Components of a Tissue-Engineered Blood Vessel Wall..

Islet-intrinsic effects of CFTR mutation (2016)
Journal Article
Harper. (2016). Islet-intrinsic effects of CFTR mutation. Diabetologia, 1350-1355. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00125-016-3936-1

Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) is the most significant extra-pulmonary comorbidity in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, and accelerates lung decline. In addition to the traditional view that CFRD is a consequence of fibrotic destruction of the... Read More about Islet-intrinsic effects of CFTR mutation.
