New Paper: “Nanomaterial functionalization modulates hard protein corona formation: Atomistic simulations applied to graphitic materials”

In this work, we demonstrate to atomic precision the structural origins of protein corona formation due to adsorption, driven only by the choice of functional groups on a graphitic material. Using graphene-oxide (GO) and double-clickable azide- and alkyne-double functionalised graphene oxide (C2GO) sheets, we study the adsorption of apolipoprotein c-3 …

New paper: “ILC1 drive intestinal epithelial and matrix remodelling”

In our latest papers, we have participated in a multi-disciplinary collaboration investigating how type-1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1) drive gut epithelial and matrix remodelling through TGFβ1 and MMP9, which has implications for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).  We used coarse-grain molecular dynamics simulations to gain an understanding of the …
