A rim-and-spoke hypothesis to explain the biomechanical roles for cytoplasmic intermediate filament networks (2017)
Journal Article
Quinlan, R., Schwartz, N., Windoffer, R., Richardson, C., Hawkins, T., Broussard, J., …Leube, R. (2017). A rim-and-spoke hypothesis to explain the biomechanical roles for cytoplasmic intermediate filament networks. Journal of Cell Science, 130(20), 3437-3445. https://doi.org/10.1242/jcs.202168

Textbook images of keratin intermediate filament (IF) networks in epithelial cells and the functional compromization of the epidermis by keratin mutations promulgate a mechanical role for this important cytoskeletal component. In stratified epithelia... Read More about A rim-and-spoke hypothesis to explain the biomechanical roles for cytoplasmic intermediate filament networks.

Modular nanometer-scale structuring of gel fibres by sequential self-organization (2005)
Journal Article
Applegarth, L., Clark, N., Richardson, A., Parker, A., Radosavljevic-Evans, I., Goeta, A., …Steed, J. (2005). Modular nanometer-scale structuring of gel fibres by sequential self-organization. Chemical Communications, 5423-5425

Ag(I) and Cu(II) complexes of a series of simple bis( urea) ligands form soft metallogels. X-ray crystallographic results suggests that the gels' structure is based on hydrogen bonding to counter anions and thus suggests a route to tunable gel rheolo...
