The Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Secretome Directs Macrophage Differentiation in an Oxygen-Dependent Manner (2023)
Preprint / Working Paper
Shephard, M. T., Merkhan, M. M., Dale, T. P., & Forsyth, N. R. (2023). The Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Secretome Directs Macrophage Differentiation in an Oxygen-Dependent Manner

Background
Chronic disease states can share inflammation as an underlying pathology. Macrophages are associated with chronic inflammation; in general, M1 phenotype macrophage activity inhibits cell proliferation and causes tissue damage whilst M2 ma...

Decellularisation and characterisation of porcine pleura for lung tissue engineering (2023)
Journal Article
Vikranth, T., Dale, T., & Forsyth, N. R. (in press). Decellularisation and characterisation of porcine pleura for lung tissue engineering. bioRxiv, https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.06.20.545830

Decellularisation offers a broad range of biomimetic scaffolds of allogeneic and xenogeneic origins, exhibiting innate tissue-specific characteristics. We explored a physico-chemical method for decellularising porcine pleural membranes (PPM) as poten...

VESCA’s variable precision: Determining the accuracy of adjustment for examiner differences in distributed OSCEs (2023)
Preprint / Working Paper
Yeates, P., & McCray, G. (2023). VESCA’s variable precision: Determining the accuracy of adjustment for examiner differences in distributed OSCEs

Introduction: Ensuring examiner equivalence across assessment locations is a priority within distributed Objective Structured Clinical Exams (OSCEs) but is challenging due to lack of overlap in performances judged by different groups of examiners. Ye... Read More about VESCA’s variable precision: Determining the accuracy of adjustment for examiner differences in distributed OSCEs.

Long-term outcomes of COVID-19 infection in children and young people: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2023)
Preprint / Working Paper
Twohig, H., Bajpai, R., Corp, N., Faux-Nightingale, A., Mallen, C., Robinson, T., Somayajula, G., Van der Windt, D., Welsh, V., & Burton, C. Long-term outcomes of COVID-19 infection in children and young people: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Background Children and young people (CYP) may experience prolonged symptoms following COVID-19, commonly termed ‘Long-COVID’. The nature of this in CYP is unclear, as are the sequalae of acute COVID-19. We aimed to systematically synthesise evidence...

Aedes aegyptigut transcriptomes respond differently to microbiome transplants from field-caught or laboratory-reared mosquitoes (2023)
Preprint / Working Paper
Hegde, S., Brettell, L. E., Quek, S., Etebari, K., Saldaña, M. A., Asgari, S., Coon, K. L., Heinz, E., & Hughes, G. L. Aedes aegyptigut transcriptomes respond differently to microbiome transplants from field-caught or laboratory-reared mosquitoes

The mosquito microbiome is critical for host development and plays a major role in many aspects of mosquito biology. While the microbiome is commonly dominated by a small number of genera, there is considerable variation in composition among mosquito...

Banna, H., Alam, A., Alam, A. W., & Chen, X. H. (2023). Geopolitical Uncertainty and Banking Risk: International Evidence

We study the impact of geopolitical uncertainty on banking risk. Using a large sample of 21,618 unique banks over a period from 2010 to 2021, our results reveal that geopolitical risk (GPR) significantly increases (erodes) banking risk (stability). T...
