Haigh, T., Beattie, H., Wade, M. A., England, J., Kuvshinov, D., Karsai, L., …Green, V. (2024). The Use of Tissue-on-Chip Technology to Focus the Search for Extracellular Vesicle miRNA Biomarkers in Thyroid Disease. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 25(1), Article 71. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms25010071

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) contain microRNAs (miRNAs) which have potential to act as disease-specific biomarkers. The current study uses an established method to maintain human thyroid tissue ex vivo on a tissue-on-chip device, allowing the...

Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Biopsies Maintained Ex Vivo on a Perfusion Device Show Gene Changes with Time and Clinically Relevant Doses of Irradiation (2023)
Journal Article
Green, V., Baldwin, L., England, J., Marshall, G., Frost, L., Moore, C., & Greenman, J. (2023). Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Biopsies Maintained Ex Vivo on a Perfusion Device Show Gene Changes with Time and Clinically Relevant Doses of Irradiation. Cancers, 15(18), Article 4575. https://doi.org/10.3390/cancers15184575

Advancements in 3-Dimensional (3D) culture models for studying disease have increased significantly over the last two decades, but fully understanding how these models represent in vivo still requires further investigation. The current study investig...

Introduction. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a highly vascularized and clinically aggressive kidney cancer, with high rates of metastasis and recurrence after cytoreductive nephrectomy. ccRCC can be treated with anti-angiogenic drugs, how...

Introduction. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a highly vascularized and clinically aggressive cancer. In the UK, there are around 9000 diagnoses and 3000 deaths annually. Targeted therapies that inhibit angiogenic regulators, such as bevac...

Journal Article
Barry, A., Samuel, S. F., Hosni, I., Moursi, A., Feugere, L., Sennett, C. J., …Beltran-Alvarez, P. (2023). Investigating the effects of arginine methylation inhibitors on microdissected brain tumour biopsies maintained in a miniaturised perfusion system. Lab on a chip, 23(11), 2664-2682. https://doi.org/10.1039/d3lc00204g

Arginine methylation is a post-translational modification that consists of the transfer of one or two methyl (CH3) groups to arginine residues in proteins. Several types of arginine methylation occur, namely monomethylation, symmetric dimethylation a...

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a deadly disease with a poor prognosis, there is therefore a crucial need for novel therapeutic targets. Current preclinical models of GBM fail to predict clinical outcomes, thus, new translationally relevant models are urgently...
