Targeted removal of blood cancer cells from mixed cell populations by cell recognition with matching particle imprints (2019)
Journal Article
Das, A. A., Remaud, P., Medlock, J., Das, A. A. K., Allsup, D. J., Madden, L. A., Nees, D., Weldrick, P. J., & Paunov, V. N. (2019). Targeted removal of blood cancer cells from mixed cell populations by cell recognition with matching particle imprints. Materials Chemistry Frontiers, 4(1), 197-205. https://doi.org/10.1039/c9qm00531e

We report a new approach for separation of blood cancer cells from healthy white blood cells based on cell recognition by surface functionalised particle imprints. We prepared polymeric particle imprints from a layer of suspension of monodisperse PMM...

Human Mutation, 41(1), 277-290. https://doi.org/10.1002/humu.23927

Human Mutation published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. The heterogeneous manifestations of MYH9-related disorder (MYH9-RD), characterized by macrothrombocytopenia, Döhle-like inclusion bodies in leukocytes, bleeding of variable severity with, in some ca...

Germline selection shapes human mitochondrial DNA diversity (2019)
Journal Article
Wei, W., Tuna, S., Keogh, M. J., Smith, K. R., Aitman, T. J., Beales, P. L., Bennett, D. L., Gale, D. P., Bitner, M. A. K., Ashford, S., Penkett, C. J., Stirrups, K. E., Rendon, A., Ouwehand, W.

Science, 364(6442), Article eaau6520. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aau6520

INTRODUCTION
Only 2.4% of the 16.5-kb mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genome shows homoplasmic variation at >1% frequency in humans. Migration patterns have contributed to geographic differences in the frequency of common genetic variants, but population...

Bioimprint aided cell recognition and depletion of human leukemic HL60 cells from peripheral blood (2019)
Journal Article
Das, A. A., Medlock, J., Liang, H., Nees, D., Allsup, D. J., Madden, L. A., & Paunov, V. N. (2019). Bioimprint aided cell recognition and depletion of human leukemic HL60 cells from peripheral blood. Journal of Materials Chemistry B, 7(22), 3497-3504. https://doi.org/10.1039/c9tb00679f

We report a large scale preparation of bioimprints of layers of cultured human leukemic HL60 cells which can perform cell shape and size recognition from a mixture with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). We demonstrate that the bioimprint-ce... Read More about Bioimprint aided cell recognition and depletion of human leukemic HL60 cells from peripheral blood.
