Journal Article
Brown, P., Talbot, E., Wood, T., Egan, M., Wu, J., Sainic, K., …Badyal, J. (2015). Controlling picolitre droplet impact dynamics by tailoring the solid subsurface. Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, 481, 215-221. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.colsurfa.2015.04.047

The oscillatory dynamics of picolitre water droplets following impact onto a range of hydrophobic surfaces is found to be influenced by the underlayer stiffness and thickness. The relative contributions of surface functionality versus subsurface hard... Read More about Controlling picolitre droplet impact dynamics by tailoring the solid subsurface.

Background Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been successfully used to reduce bleeding in joint replacement. Recently local TXA has been advocated to reduce blood loss in total knee or hip replacement; however, this raised concerns about potential adverse ef...

Fibroblast growth factors play a key role in regulating lens epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation via an anteroposterior gradient that exists between the aqueous and vitreous humours. FGF-2 is the most important for lens epithelial cell... Read More about A gradient of matrix-bound FGF-2 and perlecan is available to lens epithelial cells.

Mass transfer limitations (2013)

Is Vitamin E Stabilised UHMWPE the Future Material for TKA? (2012)
Journal Article
Wu, J. (2012). Is Vitamin E Stabilised UHMWPE the Future Material for TKA?. Orthopaedic proceedings, 94-B(SUPP XL),

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been the gold standard material of choice for the load-bearing articulating surface in knee joint prostheses. However, the application of joint replacements to younger (aged < 64 years) and more a... Read More about Is Vitamin E Stabilised UHMWPE the Future Material for TKA?.
