Shear banding in large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOStrain and LAOStress) of polymers and wormlike micelles (2016)
Journal Article
Carter, K. A., Girkin, J. M., & Fielding, S. M. (2016). Shear banding in large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOStrain and LAOStress) of polymers and wormlike micelles. Journal of Rheology, 60(5), Article 883. https://doi.org/10.1122/1.4960512

We investigate theoretically shear banding in large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) of polymers and wormlike micelles. In LAOStrain we find banding at low frequencies and sufficiently high strain rate amplitudes in fluids for which the underlying...

Two-color widefield fluorescence microendoscopy enables multiplexed molecular imaging in the alveolar space of human lung tissue (2016)
Journal Article
Krstajić, N., Akram, A. R., Choudhary, T. R., McDonald, N., Tanner, M. G., Pedretti, E., …Dhaliwal, K. (2016). Two-color widefield fluorescence microendoscopy enables multiplexed molecular imaging in the alveolar space of human lung tissue. Journal of Biomedical Optics, 21(4), Article 046009. https://doi.org/10.1117/1.jbo.21.4.046009

We demonstrate a fast two-color widefield fluorescence microendoscopy system capable of simultaneously detecting several disease targets in intact human ex vivo lung tissue. We characterize the system for light throughput from the excitation light em...

Age decreases mitochondrial motility and increases mitochondrial size in vascular smooth muscle (2016)
Journal Article
Chalmers, S., Saunter, C., Girkin, J., & McCarron, J. (2016). Age decreases mitochondrial motility and increases mitochondrial size in vascular smooth muscle. The Journal of Physiology, 594(15), 4283-4295. https://doi.org/10.1113/jp271942

Mitochondrial function, motility and architecture are each central to cell function. Age-associated mitochondrial dysfunction may contribute to vascular disease. However, mitochondrial changes in ageing remain ill-defined because of the challenges of...

Clusters of specialized detector cells provide sensitive and high fidelity receptor signaling in the intact endothelium (2016)
Journal Article
Wilson, C., Saunter, C. D., Girkin, J. M., & McCarron, J. G. (2016). Clusters of specialized detector cells provide sensitive and high fidelity receptor signaling in the intact endothelium. FASEB Journal, 30(5), 2000-2013. https://doi.org/10.1096/fj.201500090

Agonist-mediated signaling by the endothelium controls virtually all vascular functions. Because of the large diversity of agonists, each with varying concentrations, background noise often obscures individual cellular signals. How the endothelium di...
