Rotational viscosities of Gay-Berne mesogens (2002)
Journal Article
Cuetos, A., Ilnytskyi, J., & Wilson, M. (2002). Rotational viscosities of Gay-Berne mesogens. Molecular Physics, 100(24), 3839-3845

Rotational viscosities gamma(1) are calculated for three Gay-Berne models for a wide range of state points in the nematic phase. There was a strong density dependence in the results, with gamma(1) increasing with increasing density. Away from the cle... Read More about Rotational viscosities of Gay-Berne mesogens.

Confocal microscopy of a dense particle system (2002)
Journal Article
Bromley, E., & Hopkinson, I. (2002). Confocal microscopy of a dense particle system. Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 245(1), 75-80

We report experiments utilizing confocal microscopy to determine the position of cornflour starch granules in a paste, as a function of distance from a wall. The granules have an average diameter of 15 mum. If a solvent is chosen such as to approxima... Read More about Confocal microscopy of a dense particle system.

Lamin A/C binding protein LAP2 alpha is required for nuclear anchorageof retinoblastoma protein (2002)
Journal Article
Markiewicz, E., Dechat, T., Foisner, R., Quinlan, R., & Hutchison, C. (2002). Lamin A/C binding protein LAP2 alpha is required for nuclear anchorageof retinoblastoma protein. Molecular Biology of the Cell, 13(12), 4401-4413. https://doi.org/10.1091/mbc.e02-07-0450

The phosphorylation-dependent anchorage of retinoblastoma protein Rb in the nucleus is essential for its function. We show that its pocket C domain is both necessary and sufficient for nuclear anchorage by transiently expressing green fluorescent pro...
