Identification of biomarkers for the early detection of non-small cell lung cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2023)
Journal Article
Mohamed, E., García Martínez, D. J., Hosseini, M. S., Yoong, S. Q., Fletcher, D., Hart, S., & Guinn, B. A. (2024). Identification of biomarkers for the early detection of non-small cell lung cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Carcinogenesis, 45(1-2), Article bgad091. https://doi.org/10.1093/carcin/bgad091

Lung cancer (LC) causes few symptoms in the earliest stages, leading to one of the highest mortality rates among cancers. Low-dose computerised tomography (LDCT) is used to screen high-risk individuals, reducing the mortality rate by 20%. However, LD...

Science of the Total Environment, 891, Article 164280. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.164280

Extended chemical analyses of fluvial sediments were undertaken to establish the key pollutant pressures and mixtures present across nine European Union inland waterways. A wide range of chemical components and physical parameters were investigated i...

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...

Detection of microplastics in human saphenous vein tissue using μFTIR: a pilot study (2023)
Journal Article
Rotchell, J. M., Jenner, L. C., Chapman, E., Bennett, R., Bolanle, I. O., Loubani, M., Sadofsky, L., & Palmer, T. (2023). Detection of microplastics in human saphenous vein tissue using μFTIR: a pilot study. PLoS ONE, 18(2), Article e0280594. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0280594

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in the environment, in the human food chain, and have been recently detected in blood and lung tissues. To undertake a pilot analysis of MP contamination in human vein tissue samples with respect to their presence (...

Electronic Structure and Optical Properties of Strained Type-II InAsxSb1-x/InAs Quantum Dots for Mid-Infrared Applications (2023)
Journal Article
Yeap, G. H., Rybchenko, S., Itskevich, I., Haywood, S., Carrington, P., & Krier, A. (2023). Electronic Structure and Optical Properties of Strained Type-II InAsxSb1-x/InAs Quantum Dots for Mid-Infrared Applications. Defect and Diffusion Forum, 425, 3-8. https://doi.org/10.4028/p-72o15p

InSb-based self-assembled quantum dots (SAQDs) are very promising for the mid-infrared (3-5 μm) optical range. We have analysed the electronic structure and optical properties of InAsxSb1- x/InAs dots. In this paper, we present the results of the mod...

Empowering clean water whilst safeguarding water distribution pipeline integrity: Towards manganese- and iron-free lime hydrate for water treatment (2023)
Journal Article
Wadhawan, J. D., Kocsis, D., Meyer, C., Ward, R., Thompson, M., Prior, T. J., Kelly, S. M., & Lawrence, N. (2023). Empowering clean water whilst safeguarding water distribution pipeline integrity: Towards manganese- and iron-free lime hydrate for water treatment. Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology, https://doi.org/10.1039/d2ew00109h

Hydrated limes are amongst the most economically valuable alkalis used by the water industry for the treatment of potable water. They are typically manufactured from the thermal decomposition of high purity limestones. However, the latter contain bot...
