Journal Article
Walter, M., Kohli, N., Major, T., Fuller, H., Wright, K., Kuiper, J., & Johnson, W. (2015). Human mesenchymal stem cells stimulate EaHy926 endothelial cell migration: combined proteomic and in vitro analysis of the influence of donor-donor variability. Journal of Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine, 11(1), 18-24. https://doi.org/10.46582/jsrm.1101004

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) stimulate angiogenesis within a wound environment and this effect is mediated through paracrine interactions with the endothelial cells present. Here we report that human MSC-conditioned medium (n=3 donors) significantly...

Hip resurfacing arthroplasty : A new method to assess and quantify learning phase (2014)
Journal Article
AULAKH, T. S., JAYASEKERA, N., SINGH, R., PATEL, A., KUIPER, J. H., & RICHARDSON, J. B. (2014). Hip resurfacing arthroplasty : A new method to assess and quantify learning phase. Acta Orthopaedica Belgica, 80(3), 397-402

Hip resurfacing had initially gained acceptance and popularity as it helps preserve femoral bone stock. In this study we tried to answer the following questions ; 1. Whether there is a learning curve for hip resurfacing ? 2. Is it present in surgeons... Read More about Hip resurfacing arthroplasty : A new method to assess and quantify learning phase.
